Matthew 17:26-27

The Voice

Peter: ²⁶ The foreigners, my Lord.

Jesus: Well, then, we children of the King should be exempt from this two-drachma tax. ²⁷ But all in all, it’s better not to make any waves; we’d better go on and pay the tax. So do this: go out to the lake and throw out your line. And when you catch a fish, open its jaws and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take this to the tax collectors, and pay your taxes and Mine.
