Mt 17:24-27:
"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".
