Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt. 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. 4 Take that, and give it to them for me and you.” 2Co 6:31Co 8:91Co 9:19-222Co 8:91Co 8:13Rom 15:1-3Jon 1:17Mat 15:12-14
