JESUS, THE MESSIAH, PAYS THE HALF-SHEKEL FOR THE TEMPLE Capernaum Matt. 17:24-27 24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the [1]half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your [2]master 25 pay the [1]half-shekel [_see Ex. 30:11-15_]? He saith, Yea. And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from strangers? 26 And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore 27 the sons are free. But, lest we cause them to stumble, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a [3]shekel: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
