*
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 .
