And when they came to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Does not your teacher pay tribute?

He said, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus preceded him, saying, What think you, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

Tell us therefore, What think you? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
