Matthew 17:24-25

24Now when they came to Capernaum, those who collected 1the 2two-drachma tax came to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay 3the 4two-drachma tax?”

25He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect 5customs or 67poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?”
