17:24 Paying the temple tax
24 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?”[ref]
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 this world’s kings extract taxes from their own children, or from strangers?”
26 “From strangers,” answered Peter.
“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.”
Exo 30:13:
13 As each man crosses over to stand with those who’ve been counted, he must pay give a half-shekel coin as an offering to me. (That’s half of the official shekel weight of 12 grams.)[ref]
38:26:
26 During the census, every male who was twenty years old or older paid a 5g silver coin—a total of 603,550 men.[ref]
