Matthew 17:27

Back to Verses

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.

Even so, to avoid upsetting them, you go to the sea, catch a fish using a hook, and take the first one that comes up. Open its mouth, find some money inside, take it, and give it to them on behalf of both of us.
