But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, ‘Why are you putting me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me see it.’ And they brought one. Then he said to them, ‘Whose head is this, and whose title?’ They answered, ‘The emperor’s.’ Jesus said to them, ‘Give to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’ And they were utterly amazed at him. (Mark 12: 15-17)

What is translated above as "give" is apodidomi. There are many Greek words that can be translated as give.

This is a compound of apo - a separation - and didomi meaning supply, entrust, deliver. This is to retore what has been separated or fill what is missing.

We are to make whole that which has been separated from its origin.

Each of us have our origin in God's creating. All of us have been entrusted with our separate selves. We are to restore to God that which is God's
