Mat.24 And when they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the tribute money came to Peter and said, "Doth not your master pay tribute?" 25 He said, "Yes." And when he had come into the house, Jesus preceded him, saying, "What thinkest thou, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? From their own children, or from strangers?" 26 Peter said unto Him, "From strangers." Jesus said unto him, "Then are the children free. 27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea and cast a 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."Is this scripture about more than the temple tax? It seems maybe Jesus is doing a deeper teaching than is first seen...does anyone have an opinion? Could Jesus have been talking about His subjects?

Getting dangerously close to saying no tithing...
