Reddite ergo quae sunt Caesaris, Caesari: et quae sunt Dei, Deo

The phrase “reddite ergo quae sunt Caesaris, Caesari: et quae sunt Dei, Deo” is in Latin and translates to “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” This quote is attributed to Jesus Christ and can be found in the New Testament of the Bible, specifically in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 22, verse 21. It is a reply to a question asked of Jesus about whether it is lawful to pay taxes to the Roman emperor, Caesar.
