00:00From the Gospel according to Matthew, chapter 17, verses 22 to 27.
00:07As Jesus and his disciples were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them,
00:11The Son of Man is to be handed over to men, and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day.
00:19And they were overwhelmed with grief.
00:22When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax approached Peter and said,
00:27Does not your teacher pay the temple tax?
00:30Yes, he said.
00:32When he came into the house, before he had time to speak, Jesus asked him,
00:38What is your opinion, Simon?
00:40From whom do the kings of the earth take tolls or census tax?
00:44From their subjects or from foreigners?
00:48When he said, From foreigners, Jesus said to him,
00:52Then the subjects are exempt.
00:55But that we may not offend them, go to the sea, drop in a hook,
00:59and take the first fish that comes up.
01:02Open its mouth and you will find a coin worth twice the temple tax.
01:07Give that to them, for me and for you.
