* And when they came to Capernaum , those who received the didrachmas came to Peter and said , Does your teacher not pay the didrachmas ? * He says , Yes . And when he came into the house , Jesus anticipated him , saying , What dost thou think , Simon ? the kings of the earth , from whom do they receive custom or tribute ? from their own sons or from strangers ? * Peter says to him , From strangers . Jesus said to him , Then are the sons free . * But that we may not be an offence to them , go to the sea and cast a hook , and take the first fish that comes up , and when thou hast opened its mouth thou wilt find a stater ; take that and give it to them for me and thee .
