From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from others?”</span></span> <span id="en-ESV-23725" class="text Matt-17-26"><sup class="versenum">26 </sup>And when he said, “From others,” Jesus said to him, <span class="woj">“Then the sons are free.</span></span> <span id="en-ESV-23726" class="text Matt-17-27"><span class="woj"><sup class="versenum">27 </sup>However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.”</span></span></p> <p><strong>What do you think? </strong><br> <strong>Comment on this episode at <a href="http://dailydevotionalpodcast.com/podcast/matthew-1721-26/">http://dailydevotionalpodcast.com/podcast/matthew-1721-26/</a>. </strong><br> <strong>Email me with comments, feedback, or prayer requests at <a href="mailto:dailydevotionalpodcast@gmail.com">dailydevotionalpodcast@gmail.com</a> and you can follow me on Twitter <a href="http://twitter.com/devotionpodcast">@devotionpodcast</a>.
