Matthew 17:26 in Context — Matthew 17

24 Lorsqu’ils arrivèrent à Capernaüm, ceux qui percevaient les deux drachmes s’adressèrent à Pierre, et lui dirent: Votre maître ne paie-t-il pas les deux drachmes?

25 Oui, dit-il. Et quand il fut entré dans la maison, Jésus le prévint, et dit: Que t’en semble, Simon? Les rois de la terre, de qui perçoivent-ils des tributs ou des impôts? De leurs fils, ou des étrangers?

26 Il lui dit: Des étrangers. Et Jésus lui répondit: Les fils en sont donc exempts.

27 Mais, pour ne pas les scandaliser, va à la mer, jette l’hameçon, et tire le premier poisson qui viendra; ouvre-lui la bouche, et tu trouveras un statère. Prends-le, et donne-le-leur pour moi et pour toi.
