Matthew 17:24-26

American Standard Version

²⁴ And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the ^[a]half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your teacher pay the ^[b]half-shekel? ²⁵ 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 the sons are free.
