Jesus regarded His disciples as His own students, no longer members of the Jewish Ritualistic heartless religion, but Jesus did not want to cause difficulty to those who had not yet understood that His disciples were to break apart from the temple services. Jesus agreed that the taxes should be paid. He instructed Peter to go down to the shore of the lake, throw in a line and to open the mouth of the first fish he caught. A coin was found in it's mouth to cover the tax. This was not 'wonder -working' and not to provide a away for easy money, but was to avoid offense. Again this was proof of His Command over All Things.
