but, that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that hath come up first take thou up, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater, that having taken, give to them for me and thee.' | | Geneva Study Bible Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a {n} piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. (n) The word used here is stater, which is in value four didrachmas; every drachma is about five pence. People's New Testament 17:27 Lest we should offend them. While not compelled to pay it as a due, he would pay it as a matter of expediency. Sometimes things are expedient for which there is not the letter of the law. Go thou to the sea. Of Galilee, close at hand. Cast an hook. Peter was a fisherman. Take up the fish that first cometh up. A miracle. The Lord by his power would draw the fish that had sought to swallow the coin to Peter's hook. A piece of money. Greek, a stater, corresponding to a shekel, enough for two. The Lord would pay the tax, but in a manner in accord with the Divine dignity. Wesley's Notes 17:27 Yet that, we may not offend them - Even those unjust, unreasonable men, who claim what they have no manner of right King James Translators' Notes a piece...: or, a stater: it is half an ounce of silver, in value two shillings and six pence, sterling; about fifty five cents Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 27. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend-stumble. them-all ignorant as they are of My relation to the Lord of the Temple, and should misconstrue a claim to exemption into indifference to His honor who dwells in it. go thou to the sea-Capernaum, it will be remembered, lay on the Sea of Galilee. and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shall find a piece of money-a stater. So it should have been rendered, and not indefinitely, as in our version, for the coin was an Attic silver coin equal to two of the afore-mentioned "didrachms" of half a shekel's value, and so, was the exact sum required for both. Accordingly, the Lord adds, that take, and give unto them for me and thee-literally, "instead of Me and thee"; perhaps because the payment was a redemption of the person paid for (Ex 30:12)-in which view Jesus certainly was "free." If the house was Peter's, this will account for payment being provided on this occasion, not for all the Twelve, but only for him and His Lord. Observe, our Lord does not say "for us," but "for Me and thee"; thus distinguishing the Exempted One and His non-exempted disciple. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 17:24-27 Peter felt sure that his Master was ready to do what was right. Christ spoke first to give him proof that no thought can be withholden from him. We must never decline our duty for fear of giving offence; but we must sometimes deny ourselves in our worldly interests, rather than give offence. However the money was lodged in the fish, He who knows all things alone could know it, and only almighty power could bring it to Peter's hook. The power and the poverty of Christ should be mentioned together. If called by providence to be poor, like our Lord, let us trust in his power, and our God shall supply all our need, according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. In the way of obedience, in the course, perhaps, of our usual calling, as he helped Peter, so he will help us. And if any sudden call should occur, which we are not prepared to meet, let us not apply to others, till we first seek Christ. | |
