During their time in Galilee, Jesus told all His disciples, The Son of
man shall be betrayed into the hands of men. They shall kill Him and,
on the third day, He shall be raised again. The disciples felt great
sorrow.
When they arrived at Capernaum, those who collected tribute money came
to Peter and asked, Does your master pay tribute? Peter said, Yes.
When Peter came into the house, Jesus stopped him and said, What do you
think, Simon? Should the kings of the earth take custom or tribute from
their own children or from strangers? Peter replied, From strangers.
Jesus said, So then, the children are free.
Then Jesus added, Nonetheless, so we do not offend them, go to the sea,
cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. In his mouth you
will find a coin. Take that and give it to those who collect the
tribute money for me and thee.
18 Later, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, Who is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven? Jesus called a little child to Him,
set him in the midst of them, and said, I tell you, Unless you are
converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the
kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this little child, is
greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Whoever receives a little child in my name receives me. But whoever
offends one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better
for him that a millstone were hung around his neck and he drown in the
deep of the sea.
