Matthew 17:26-27

Context
17:26 After he said, “From foreigners,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons 1  are free. 17:27 But so that we don’t offend them, go to the lake and throw out a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth, you will find a four drachma coin. 2  Take that and give it to them for me and you.”

1 sn See the note on the phrase their sons in the previous verse.

2 sn The four drachma coin was a stater (στατήρ, stathr), a silver coin worth four drachmas. One drachma was equivalent to one denarius, the standard pay for a day’s labor (L&N 6.80).
