But, so that we do not become a hindrance to these [tax collectors], go to the lake and cast in your hook [and line]. Then take the first fish [you catch], open its mouth and you will find a coin [i.e., worth twice the amount of an individual’s Temple tax assessment]. Take it and give it [to the tax collectors] for you and me.”
Simon replied, “Master, we worked all night, but did not catch anything. But I will lower the nets if you say so.”
Then He said to them, “Throw your net over the right side of the boat and you will catch some [fish].” So, they threw [the net out] but they were not able to pull it in because of so many fish.
