Matthew 17:27

17:27 But so that we don’t offend them, go to the lake and throw out a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth, you will find a four drachma coin. ¹  Take that and give it to them for me and you.”

Matthew 21:21

21:21 Jesus ²  answered them, “I tell you the truth, ³  if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.

¹ sn The four drachma coin was a stater (στατήρ, stathr), a silver coin worth four drachmas. One drachma was equivalent to one denarius, the standard pay for a day’s labor (L&N 6.80).

² tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

³ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”
