Matthew 17:22-27

22WhenG1161 theyG846 gathered togetherG4962 inG1722 GalileeG1056, JesusG2424 toldG2036 themG846, “TheG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 is aboutG3195 to be deliveredG3860 intoG1519 the handsG5495 of menG444. 23They will killG615 HimG846, andG2532 on theG3588 thirdG5154 dayG2250 He will be raisedG1453 to life.” AndG2532 the disciples were deeply grievedG4970G3076.

24AfterG1161 theyG846 had arrivedG2064 inG1519 CapernaumG2584, theG3588 collectorsG2983 of theG3588 two-drachmaG1323 tax1 cameG4334 to PeterG4074 andG2532 askedG2036, “Does yourG4771 TeacherG1320 payG3756G5055 theG3588 two drachmasG1323?”

25“YesG3483,” he answeredG3004.

WhenG2532 Peter enteredG2064G1519 theG3588 houseG3614, JesusG2424 preemptedG4399 himG846. “WhatG5101 do you thinkG4771G1380, SimonG4613?” He askedG3004. “FromG575 whomG5101 do theG3588 kingsG935 of theG3588 earthG1093 collectG2983 customsG5056 and taxesG2778: fromG575 theirG846 own sonsG5207, orG2228 fromG575 othersG245?”

26“FromG575 othersG245,” Peter answeredG1161G2036.

“ThenG686 theG3588 sonsG5207 areG1510 exemptG1658,” JesusG2424 saidG5346 to himG846. 27“ButG1161 so thatG2443 we may not offendG3361G4624 themG846, goG4198 toG1519 the seaG2281, castG906 a hookG44, andG2532 takeG142 theG3588 firstG4412 fishG2486 you catchG305. WhenG2532 you openG455 itsG846 mouthG4750, you will findG2147 a four-drachma coinG4715.2 TakeG2983 it and giveG1325 it to themG846 forG473 My taxG1473 andG2532 yoursG4771.”
