Matthew 17:24-27

24And when they had come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?1 25He saith, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? from their own children, or from strangers? 26Peter saith to him, From strangers. Jesus saith to him, Then are the children free. 27However, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: take that, and give to them for me and thee.2
