Paying the temple tax

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.
