Lakini ili tusije tukawaudhi, nenda baharini ukatupe ndoana. Mchukue samaki wa kwanza utakayemvua. Fungua kinywa chake nawe utakuta humo fedha, ichukue ukalipe kodi yako na yangu.”

Matthew 17:27 · Berean Standard Bible

Context
25Petro akajibu, “Ndiyo, yeye hulipa.” Petro aliporudi nyumbani, Yesu akawa wa kwanza kulizungumzia, akamuuliza, “Unaonaje Simoni? Wafalme wa dunia hupokea ushuru na kodi kutoka kwa nani? Je, ni kutoka kwa watoto wao au kutoka kwa watu wengine?” 26Petro akamjibu, “Kutoka kwa watu wengine.” Yesu akamwambia, “Kwa hiyo watoto wao wamesamehewa. 27Lakini ili tusije tukawaudhi, nenda baharini ukatupe ndoana. Mchukue samaki wa kwanza utakayemvua. Fungua kinywa chake nawe utakuta humo fedha, ichukue ukalipe kodi yako na yangu.”
