Rare Coin

When Jesus and his disciples came to Capernaum, the collectors of the Temple tax came to Peter and asked, "Does your teacher pay the Temple tax?"

"Of course," Peter answered.

When peter went in to the house, Jesus spoke up first, “Simon, what is your opinion? Who pays duties or taxes to the kings of this world? The citizens of the country or the foreigners?”

"The foreigners," answered Peter.

"Well, then," replied Jesus, "that means that the citizens don’t have to pay. But we don’t want to offend these people. So go to the lake and drop in a line. Pull up the first fish you hook and in its mouth you will find a coin worth enough for my Temple tax and yours. Take it and pay them our taxes." (Mt. 17;24-27)

The point of this pericope is not about Jesus ability to produce money instantly as if like magic. Remember th author of the Bible used literary form and style in presenting the gospel.

This is more about respecting the current legal set up during the time of Jesus. Jesus was a revolutionary but not a bloody one. He initiates transformation through a peaceful means. He ended up in a bloody death but he did not counter violence with violence.

With regards to the coins found from the mouth of the fish, where could it be now?
