Exegesis
Two balanced accusative–dative parallelisms—ta Kaisaros Kaisari {τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι} and ta tou theou tō theō {τὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τῷ θεῷ}—contrast secular and divine spheres of obligation, underscoring distinct domains through chiastic structure.
Root and etymology
“emperor, ruler,”
In context — Matthew 22:21
