Peter was moping in Capernaum because the temple tax collectors wanted their money and he didn’t have it.
“Don’t worry about it,” said Jesus. “Take a little break and go fishing.”
So Peter took His advice, went down to the lake, and threw in his line. Imagine the great guffaw from Peter when the first fish he caught had a coin to pay both his and Jesus’ tax!
I can just see Peter coming back up the lane to his house a few hours later—“Lord, guess what I found!”
I’m sure Jesus smiled at Peter.
