Matthew 17:25-27

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁵ He said, “Yes.” And when he had come into the house, Jesus stopped him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take tribute (or temple taxes) - from their children, or from strangers?

²⁶ Peter said to Him, “From strangers.” Then Jesus said to him, “Then the children are free.”

²⁷ Nevertheless, so that we should not offend them, go to the sea and cast in a hook. And take the first fish that comes up. And when you have opened its mouth, you shall find a coin. Take it, and give it to them for you and Me.
