This is the end of the part of the story that began in [Matthew 13:54](../13/54.md), where Matthew tells of continued opposition to Jesus's ministry and teaching about the kingdom of heaven.

# Connecting Statement:

Jesus continues to teach Peter about paying the temple tax.

If you translated Jesus's questions as statements in [Matthew 17:25](../17/25.md), you may need to give an alternate response here. You could also state it as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: "'Yes, that is true,' Peter said" or "Peter said that he agreed with Jesus" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-quotations]])
