Paying the temple tax

Mat 17:24–27

17:24 Paying the temple tax

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

25 “Yes, he will.” replied Kefa.

Then when he went inside the house, before he could say anything, Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) asked him, “What do you think, Shim’on (Simon)? Do this world’s kings extract taxes from their own children, or from strangers?”

26 “From strangers,” answered Kefa.

“So surely the children are exempt?”, Yeshua responded, 27 “but 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.”

24 And 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?

25 He _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?

26 the 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.

27 But 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.
