<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 7575706, member: 115909&quot;]Another interesting story in the Bible regarding coins is the story of the “coin in the fish’s mouth”.</p><p><br /></p><p>Peter is asked if his “Master” (Jesus) pays the temple tax.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jesus responds that as the Son of God the Temple is his father’s house and thus they are exempt from paying it.</p><p><br /></p><p>“But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake (the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Sea_of_Galilee" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Sea_of_Galilee" rel="nofollow">Sea of Galilee</a>) and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Tetradrachm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Tetradrachm" rel="nofollow">four-drachma coin</a>. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The temple tax was 2 drachma per person so the tetradrachm coin would’ve been exactly enough to pay the temple tax for Jesus &amp; Peter.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the only time in the Bible that Jesus performs a miracle to avoid offending people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
