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