Exegesis
The coordinated genitives apo tōn huiōn autōn {ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῶν | apó tôn hui-ôn au-tōn} ‘from their sons’ and apo tōn allotriōn {ἀπὸ τῶν ἀλλοτρίων | apó tôn al-ló-tri-ōn} ‘from outsiders’ highlight the insider–outsider contrast that underlies Jesus’ subsequent teaching. Participles are rendered as temporal clauses (“when he entered,” “after he came”) and the idiomatic question is adapted into natural English without losing the original logical contrast.
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?”
