Matt 22: 21

(KJV)

They say unto him, Cesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar the things which are Cesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.

(NASB2020)

They *said to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He *said to them, “ ^aThen pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”

(NET2full)

They replied, ^{▼▼tn Grk “they said to him.”} “Caesar’s.” He said to them, ^{▼▼tn Grk “then he said to them.” τότε (tote) has not been translated to avoid redundancy.} “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” ^{▼▼sn Jesus’ answer to give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s was a both/and, not the questioners’ either/or. So he slipped out of their trap.}
