But, my interpretation is that Jewish leaders tightened the original law of Exodus so as to extract census fee from even those Jews who had already been counted in the previous census. Jesus had completed twenty years of age before 10 years plus from the date of the incident. That means he had already been counted in the census of Jews and treated as a son of Jewish parents. Counting him afresh and charging him the two shekel was akin to treating him a foreigner. Hence his word with Peter. | |
