17:24 Paying the temple tax

24[ref]Then when they got to Capernaum, the tax-collectors collecting the poll tax approached Peter and asked him, “Isn’t your teacher going to pay the tax?”

25“Yes, he will.” replied Peter.

Then when he went inside the house, before he could say anything Yeshua asked him, “What do you think, Simon? Do earthly kings extract taxes from their own children, or from strangers?

26“From strangers,” answered Peter.

So surely the children are exempt?”, Yeshua responded, 27but so that we don’t offend them, go down to the lake and throw in a line. Pull out the first fish that you hook, and when you open its mouth, you’ll find a coin that’ll be enough to pay the tax for both of us.


17:24: Exo 30:13; 38:26.

24And them having_come to Kafarnaʼoum, the ones receiving the two_drachmas approached to_ the _Petros and said:
The teacher of_you_all is_ not _paying the two_drachmas?
25He_is_saying:
Yes.
And having_come into the house, the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) preceded him saying:
What is_supposing to_you, Simōn?
The kings of_the earth are_receiving revenues or poll_tax from whom_all?
From the sons of_them or from the strangers?
26the Petros is_saying to_him From the strangers.
And he_having_said:
From the strangers, the Yaʸsous was_saying to_him:
Consequently surely the_free ones are the sons.
27But in_order_that we_may_ not _offend them, having_been_gone to sea, throw a_fish_hook and take_up the first fish having_gone_up, and having_opened_up the mouth of_it, you_will_be_finding a_stater, having_taken that, give to_them for me and you.
