22 And, while they were assembled together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men; 23 and they will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised up." And they were grieved exceedingly. 24 And, when they came into Capernaum, those receiving the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, "Doth not your Teacher pay the half-shekel?" 25 He says, "Yes." And Jesus anticipated him as he came into the house, saying, "What do you think, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive tax or tribute? from their sons, or from the aliens?" 26 And, when he said, "From the aliens," Jesus said to him, "Consequently the sons are free; 27 but, that we may not cause them to stumble; having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the fish first coming up; and, opening its mouth, you will find a shekel; taking that, give it to them for Me and you."
