“Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.”

Peter had been a fisherman. Jesus had said, “Follow me,” and Peter had given up his fishing business to follow. We read that straightway he forsook his nets and followed. That must have been a tremendous experience for Peter—giving up his means of livelihood, upkeep of his home, not to mention the money for those taxes.
Peter, the Fisherman, left all to follow Christ. The Lord knew that he had given up his means of livelihood to answer His call, and from the very thing that Peter had given up for His sake—fish—the Lord met His servant’s need when the time for paying the taxes came around.
