Lexham English Bible
26 And when he[a] said, “From foreigners,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. 27 But so that we do not give offense to them, go out to the sea, cast a line with[b] a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. And when you[c] open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take that and[d] give it[e] to them for me and you.”
