17:27 How did Jesus know that there would be money for the temple tax in the fish’s mouth?

Jesus caused it to happen. The fact that He said it would be there caused it to be there. Jesus spoke it into being the same as He spoke everything else that did not previously exist into being (cp Jn 1:3; Ro 4:17; Eph 3:9; Col 1:16-17; He 1:1-2; 11:3). Causing the money to be in the fish’s mouth is one of the miracles Jesus did that He said Christians could also do (cp Jn 14:12).
