Matthew 17:24 (100.00%)

When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins° came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?”

Matthew 17:24 A didrachma is a Greek silver coin worth 2 drachmas, about as much as 2 Roman denarii, or about 2 days’ wages. It was commonly used to pay the half-shekel temple tax, because 2 drachmas were worth one half shekel of silver. A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces.

And G1161 when they G846 were come G2064 (Aor2ActPtc) to G1519 Capernaum G2584, they that received G2983 (PresActPtc) tribute G1323 [money] came G4334 (AorActInd) to Peter G4074, and G2532 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd), Doth G5055 not G3756 your G5216 master G1320 pay G5055 (PresActInd) tribute G1323?

And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachms came near to Peter, and said, ‘Your teacher-doth he not pay the didrachms?’ He saith, ‘Yes.’
