Exegesis
The phrase hoi basileis tēs gēs {οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς | hoí ba-si-leîs tês gês} ‘the kings of the earth’ establishes the analogy concerning royal taxation, while the interrogative prepositional phrase apo tinōn {ἀπὸ τίνων | apó tí-nōn} ‘from whom’ with lambanousin {λαμβάνουσιν | lam-bá-nou-sin} ‘do they receive’ forms the core inquiry.
In context — Matthew 17:25
He said, “Yes.” When he entered the house, Jesus spoke to him first and said, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect custom or tribute—from their own sons, or from others?”
