Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
δὲ
and
Here, the word Now introduces the next major event in the story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: “Then,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἐλθόντων & αὐτῶν
/having/_come & them
In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: “when they had gone”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτῶν
them
The pronoun they refers to Jesus and the disciples. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to them more directly. Alternate translation: “the disciples and Jesus”

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐλθόντων δὲ αὐτῶν εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ προσῆλθον οἱ τὰ δίδραχμα λαμβάνοντες τῷ Πέτρῳ καὶ εἶπον ὁ διδάσκαλος ὑμῶν οὐ τελεῖ τὰ δίδραχμα)
Here, the phrase the two-drachma tax refers to a tax that people paid to help support the temple in Jerusalem. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the two-drachma tax for supporting the temple … the two-drachma tax for supporting the temple”

(Occurrence -1) τὰ δίδραχμα
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐλθόντων δὲ αὐτῶν εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ προσῆλθον οἱ τὰ δίδραχμα λαμβάνοντες τῷ Πέτρῳ καὶ εἶπον ὁ διδάσκαλος ὑμῶν οὐ τελεῖ τὰ δίδραχμα)
A drachma was a silver coin equivalent to a day’s wage. You could try to express this amount in terms of current monetary values, but that might cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. So instead you might state something more general or give the equivalent in wages. Alternate translation: “the tax of two valuable silver coins … the tax of two valuable silver coins” or “the tax of two coins each worth a day’s wages … the tax of two coins each worth a day’s wages”
17:24 Every adult citizen of Israel was required to pay the Temple tax of one-half shekel. In Jesus’ day, priests and some rabbis did not pay the tax.
