The Temple Tax

The Temple Tax

24After they had arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma [tax][fn] came to Peter and asked, “{Does} your Teacher pay the two drachmas?”

25“Yes,” he answered. When [Peter] entered[fn] the house, Jesus preempted him. “What do you think, Simon?” He asked. “From whom {do} the kings of the earth collect customs [and] taxes: from their [own] sons, or from others?”

26“From others,” Peter answered. “Then the sons are exempt,” Jesus said to him. 27“But so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take the first fish you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin.[fn] Take [it] [and] give [it] to them for My tax and yours.”
