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" Matthew 17:24-27
