24 <V 17:23>And when they had arrived at Capernaum, those who collected the half shekel approached Peter, and they said to him, “Doesn’t your Teacher pay the half shekel?” 25 <V 17:24>He said, “Yes.” And when he had entered into the house, Jesus went before him, saying: “How does it seem to you, Simon? The kings of the earth, from whom do they receive tribute or the census tax: from their own sons or from foreigners?” 26 <V 17:25>And he said, “From foreigners.” Jesus said to him: “Then the sons are free. 27 <V 17:26>But so that we may not become an obstacle to them: go to the sea, and cast in a hook, and take the first fish that is brought up, and when you have opened its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take it and give it to them, for me and for you.” Matthew 17:24-27, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
