The Church of 1122 is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Welcome to our LAMP podcast.

Hey everybody, my name is Jonathan Vinkie.

Today we're going to look at the miracle of the coin in the fish's mouth, which is found in Matthew 17 versus 24 through 27. So let's read it.

When they came to Copernum, the collectors of the two drachma tax went up to Peter and said,

Does your teacher not pay the tax? He said, yes. And when he came into the house,

Jesus spoke to him first, saying, what do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from

others? And when he said from others, Jesus said to him, then the sons are free. However, not to give

offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth, you will find a shekel.

Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.

So what happens in this miracle, it could be one of a couple of things.

I mean, Jesus either miraculously causes a coin to materialize in the mouth of a fish that Peter

caught. Or, in his omniscience and wisdom, he knew that there was a fish in the sea that had swallowed a coin.

He knew that Peter would go and that that fish would be the fish that bit the hook

that Peter would pull out of the water.

I don't know which one it is.

Either way, it's amazing that Jesus knew this.

And he uses this miraculous provision of money to satisfy the required tax.

So what's going on in the context? Well, it takes place in Copernum.
