(Pièces de monnaie de rue Peter des premiers poissons)
Peter was keeping some coins hidden secretly without telling the fact to Jesus Christ.
Peter knew that Jesus Christ would not praise him for still keeping some coins secretly hidden.
Jesus Christ had truly said to give all his money to the poor and follow Him.
But, Peter, with a worry about worldly needs, still kept some coins for himself secretly.
Then a tax collector came to them one day.
Jesus said to Peter to catch fish, find a coin in the mouth of the first catch, and then pay it to the tax collector.
Peter caught fish and put all his coins into its mouth to show them to Jesus Christ.
And then Peter paid the coins to the tax collector who was so amazed as to report it to the Roman Governor...
Now Peter was free from pang of conscience. But, Jesus Christ came to be under surveillance of the Romans who knew Moses had been also a miracle performer.
But a true miracle happened in the mind of St. Peter who could make a quantum leap to higher faith or the way of life based on mercy of God alone but not money at all, once for all.
(Indeed, to be rich while being praised by Jesus Christ is truly difficult. Can your money predict when you die, though you may not be even sad thinking about it, since you do not like God?
Follow St. Peter, however, if you are rich, and pay tax for Jesus Christ and His followers.
Truly, you will be able to catch people, probably mostly poor and called Not-My-People.)
"...and then hand him over to the Gentiles, who will make fun of him, spit on him, whip him, and kill him; but three days later he will rise to life..."
