From the Passage for Jan 26 in the One Year Bible. (Matt 17:10-27) Funny that it should coincide with what I am trying to speak about on my other blog...
In Christ,

Just wanted you to know I read your scripture verses but I find it hard to make a comment. They are all perfect and lovely and of course from God.
God Bless you,

You are kind. You can actually tell someone dropped by if you look at the count over on the side of your blog. Look, I put the scriptures up and don't always have anything meaningful to say. They stand on their own. What can we add?
But thanks for commenting anyways. It is much more satisfying than just watching a number go up...

Hi Mel,
I see you are still busy; that is good...
Matthew 17:24-27
The question of the tribute Money...
Jesus the glorified Son of God,greater than all.....
The two incidents following the Transfiguration clearly reassert his supremancy. Tribute money is a technical term for the tax of half a shekel which every Jew over 20 was expected to contribute to the upkeep of the temple. Prevented, meaning preceded," that is, to speak first, of strangers: The subject races were taxed first and most heavily The children, the king's own race, were free. Jesus Christ was the Lord and owner of the temple, and therefore it was not for him to pay the tax. however, our Lord would not give offense by seeming to be a lawbreaker. A piece of money, the silver tetradrachma, was equivalent to the shekel and therefore the exact amount of the tax for two person.
God bless you....
With God's Love.....
