Lesson 1566

(Lesson 1566)(01-18-16) Matthew 17:22-27

"And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. 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 piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee."

 

In today's quote, Jesus told His disciples how that He would be betrayed and turned over to those who would eventually kill Him and told them how that He would rise again on the third day.

In the second part of this lesson Jesus explained to Peter how that He should not be taxed, but in order to keep peace with the authority, Jesus told Peter to pay the tax.~
