Berean Standard Bible
““But so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take the first fish you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for My tax and yours.””
In Capernaum, collectors of the temple tax ask Peter whether his teacher pays it. Jesus explains that the sons of kings are free from tax but says they should pay so as not to cause offense.
