Kaisar designates the imperial ruler named in matters of rule, taxation, legal appeal, and household affiliation.

The term consistently designates Caesar as the imperial ruler: people discuss taxes and what belongs to him, invoke his decrees and reign, appeal to stand before him for judgment, and identify members of his household.

1. Caesar as imperial ruler · dominant

   The term names the ruler whose claims are discussed in taxation and ownership: in Luke 20:25 the APB renders the clause, "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar," following the question about the coin's image and inscription. It also identifies the authority before whom Paul appeals or must stand in Acts 25:11 and Acts 27:24, while Luke 2:1 and Philippians 4:22 place a decree and a household under Caesar's designation.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB generally presents the term as "Caesar" in clauses about decrees, taxes, kingship, appeals, and a household. Its use of "emperor" in Acts 25:21 is best read as part of the verse's presentation rather than a separate rendering claim.
