In context

22When they gathered together in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.

23They will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised to life.” And the disciples were deeply grieved.

24After they had arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, “Does your Teacher pay the two drachmas?”

25“Yes,” he answered. When Peter entered the house, Jesus preempted him. “What do you think, Simon?” He asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs and taxes: from their own sons, or from others?”

26“From others,” Peter answered. “Then the sons are exempt,” Jesus said to him.
