Lesson 20
Jesus Pays Tribute Money
Reading Portion: Matthew 17: 24 - 27
Lesson:
1. When Jesus arrived in a place called Capernaum, tax collectors came to Peter and asked them if Jesus pays temple taxes.
2. Peter said, “Yes he does.”
3. Later, Jesus asked Peter, “From who do you think the kings of the earth collects their taxes from – from their sons or from others?”
4. “From others.” Peter replied.
5. “Then the sons don’t have to give anything.” Jesus said. “But to be respectful and not hurt their feelings, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch and in it, you’ll find the right coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.”
Moral: We are indebted to do our duties toward the country, apart from our duties toward the church.
Memory Verse: Romans 13: 7 - Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
