Matthew 17:26-27 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

26. Peter answered, “Other people pay the taxes.”Jesus said to Peter, “Then the children of the king don’t have to pay taxes.

27. But we don’t want to make these tax collectors angry. So go to the lake and fish. After you catch the first fish, open its mouth. Inside its mouth you will find a coin. Take that coin and give it to the tax collectors. That will pay the tax for you and me.”
