Matthew 17:27 (100.00%)

But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin.° Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”

Matthew 17:27 A stater is a silver coin equivalent to four Attic or two Alexandrian drachmas, or a Jewish shekel: just exactly enough to cover the half-shekel temple tax for two people. A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces, usually in the form of a silver coin.

Notwithstanding G1161, lest G3363 we should offend G4624 (AorActSubj) them G846, go thou G4198 (AorPasDepPtc) to G1519 the sea G2281, and cast G906 (Aor2ActImpr) an hook G44, and G2532 take up G142 (AorActImpr) the fish G2486 that first G4412 cometh up G305 (Aor2ActPtc); and G2532 when thou hast opened G455 (AorActPtc) his G846 mouth G4750, thou shalt find G2147 (FutActInd) a piece of money G4715: that G1565 take G2983 (Aor2ActPtc), and give G1325 (Aor2ActImpr) unto them G846 for G473 me G1700 and G2532 thee G4675.

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.’
