Rendering of the Tribute Money (1425-1427)
Masaccio (1401-1428)
Italian Renaissance Style, Quattrocento Period
Brancacci Chapel, Santa Maria del Carmine, Florence, Italy

Explanation: Masaccio's painting depicts the whole scene described in the Scriptures below. In the center Massachio depicts Jesus (rather than Peter, as in the Scripture) disputing with a group of men about paying tax of the silver didrachma. To the left Peter finds the fish Jesus told him he would find. In its mouth is a stater, a silver coin twice the weight of the didrachma and twice its worth. On the right side of the picture Peter pays the tax for himself and for Jesus.

(Using the Numbering System of Kerr's Harmony With a Different Translation & Blended Instead of Parallel) Matthew 17:24-27, Mark 9:33a
Mark 9:33a And he came to Capernaum:
Matthew 17:24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Does not your master pay tribute?
Matthew 17:25 He said, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented [i.e., anticipated] him, saying, What think you, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
Matthew 17:26 Peter said unto him, Of strangers. Jesus said unto him, Then are the children free.
Matthew 17:27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go you to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first comes up; and when you have opened his mouth, you shall find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and you.
