But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”

ગુજરાતીમાથ્થી ૧૭:૨૭
રખેને આપણે તેઓનું અપમાન કરીએ, તું સમુદ્રકિનારે જઈને ગલ નાખ; અને જે માછલી પહેલી આવે તેને પકડી લે, જયારે તું તેનું મુખ ઉઘાડશે ત્યારે તેમાંથી તને પૈસા મળશે, તે લઈને મારે અને તારે માટે તેઓને આપ.”
हिन्दीमत्ती १७:२७
फिर भी हम उन्हें ठोकर न खिलाएँ, तू झील के किनारे जाकर बंसी डाल, और जो मछली पहले निकले, उसे ले; तो तुझे उसका मुँह खोलने पर एक सिक्का मिलेगा, उसी को लेकर मेरे और अपने बदले उन्हें दे देना।”

In context

25He said, “Yes.” When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?”

26Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.

27But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”
