Gill's Notes on the Bible
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?] The Syriac and Persic versions here, as in the other evangelists, render it, "head money". The phrase, "for us", is here added, and on it lies the emphasis, and stress of the question; for the doubt pretended, was not whether it was lawful for the Romans to pay tribute to Caesar, but whether it was lawful for them who were Jews, were Abraham's seed, and, as they boasted, were never in bondage, but were the Lord's free people, to pay tribute to an Heathen emperor, or no.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this explained in the Matthew 22:15-33 notes, and Mark 12:13-27 notes.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 20:22. Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar — See this insidious but important question considered at large on Matthew 22:16-22.
