Paying the Double Drachma Temple Tax

Paying the Double Drachma Temple Tax

24Now when[fn] they arrived in Capernaum, the ones who collected the double drachma tax[fn] came up to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the double drachma tax?” 25He said, “Yes.” And when he[fn] came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tolls or taxes—from their own sons, or from foreigners?” 26And when he[fn] said, “From foreigners,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. 27But so that we do not give offense to them, go out to the sea, cast a line with[fn] a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. And when you[fn] open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take that and[fn] give it[fn] to them for me and you.”


17:24 *Here “when” is supplied as a component of the temporal genitive absolute participle (“arrived”)

17:24 This refers to the half-shekel annual tax paid by Jewish males to support the temple; over time the name of the coin commonly used to pay the tax came to be used for the tax itself

17:25 *Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“came”) which is understood as temporal

17:26 *Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“said”) which is understood as temporal

17:27 *The words “a line with” are not in the Greek text but are implied

17:27 *Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“open”) which is understood as temporal

17:27 *Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“take”) has been translated as a finite verb

17:27 *Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation
