# General Information:

This is the end of the part of the story that began in [Matthew 13:54](../13/54.md), where Matthew tells of continued opposition to Jesus's ministry and teaching about the kingdom of heaven.

# Connecting Statement:

Jesus continues to teach Peter about paying the temple tax.

# "From others," Peter answered

If you translated Jesus's questions as statements in [Matthew 17:25](../17/25.md), you may need to give an alternate response here. You could also state it as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: "'Yes, that is true,' Peter said" or "Peter said that he agreed with Jesus" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-quotations]])

# From others

"From people who are not members of their own family." See how you translated these words in [Matthew 17:25](./25.md).

# their sons

Possible meanings are that this word 1) is a synecdoche that refers to any members of the kings' family or 2) is a metaphor for the people of the kings' own country. See how you translated these words in [Matthew 17:25](./25.md). Alternate translation: "their own family" or "the people of their own country" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/synecdoche]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/metaphor]])
