Bible

1. Read Matthew 17: 24-27.
2. This passage that you just read is only found in the book of Matthew.  Peter is in this story.  Matthew likes to write about Peter.
3. Every male Jew back then who was over 20 years old had to pay taxes every year to the Temple.  The tax was half a "shekel" or coin and it was equal to two days of work.  This tax provided the money that the Temple in Jerusalem needed.  The men usually collected it in the towns and villages for about 10 days. 
4. Here Jesus talks about how the King's family does not have to pay taxes.  What does he mean by asking this question to Peter?  (Hint: We are children of the most high.. a King!)
5. Tell someone Matthew 6: 9b-13

History

1. Later this year we’ll read about this time period in the Bible. But I wanted to give you an idea of when we are talking about. Ancient Egypt’s civilization began before Abraham was living.That was called the Old Kingdom. The Israelites were slaves during the last part of the Egyptian empire, called the New Kingdom. Israel began with Jacob. God changed Jacob’s name to Israel around 1900 BC. That means one thousand nine hundred years before Jesus was born.
2. Look at this timeline.
3. The numbers grow from the middle out. Can you see that?
4. See if you can put these dates in order. Remember, in BC (in the time before Jesus was born) the bigger the number the farther back in time you are. To play click on the date you want to move and then click one time on the up or down arrow.
