The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
MAT 17:25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus
prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings
of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of
strangers?
MAT 17:26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him,
Then are the children free.
MAT 17:27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the
sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and
when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that
take, and give unto them for me and thee.
