Matius 17:27

17:27 But so that we don’t offend them, go to the lake and throw out a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth, you will find a four drachma coin. ¹  Take that and give it to them for me and you.”

Yohanes 21:6

21:6 He told them, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” ²  So they threw the net, ³  and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of fish.

[17:27]  ¹ sn The four drachma coin was a stater (στατήρ, stathr), a silver coin worth four drachmas. One drachma was equivalent to one denarius, the standard pay for a day’s labor (L&N 6.80).

[21:6]  ² tn The word “some” is not in the Greek text but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[21:6]  ³ tn The words “the net” are not in the Greek text but are implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
