Here the scene shifts again to a later time when Jesus teaches Peter about paying the temple tax.
|
|
|
|
# When they
|
|
|
|
"When Jesus and his disciples"
|
|
|
|
# the half-shekel tax
|
|
|
|
This was a tax that Jewish men paid to support the temple in Jerusalem. AT: "the temple tax" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-fraction]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-bmoney]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# the house
|
|
|
|
"the place where Jesus was staying"
|
|
|
|
# "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tolls or taxes? From their sons or from others?"
|
|
|
|
Jesus asks these questions to teach Simon, not to gain information for himself. AT: "Listen, Simon. We know that when kings collect taxes, they collect it from people who are not members of their own family" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
