And when they had come to Capernaum, they that received tribute-money, came to Peter, and said, Doth not your Master pay tribute?

He saith, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? from their own children, or from strangers?

Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?

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