This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Mat 17:26. Ἐλεύθεροι, free) The argument is as follows: Jesus is the Son of God (Mat 17:5), and the heir of all things; but the Temple, for the sake of which the didrachms are paid, is the house of God: it behoved Jesus, on paying the didrachm, to do so under protest. They who received the tribute were not capable of comprehending (non capiebant) the protest, therefore it is addressed to Peter. They who pertain to Jesus, possess also the right of Jesus.
