Christian Freedom From the Temple Tax-Mt. 17.24-27
Jesus and His disciples didn’t really need to pay the half-shekel Temple Tax. Jesus and Peter paid it, however, so as to not offend the Jews’ religious sensibilities (see Mt. 17.24-27).

Textual Variants: Wives Submitting to Husbands in Eph. 5.22
http://evangelicaltextualcriticism.blogspot.com/2024/03/further-arguments-for-verb-in-eph-522.html Even if one does not know Greek, they can benefit by following the thrust of this author’s argument (follow the link to read the article). The article is not as long as I thought it was either. A person would not need to look up every technical term used in argumentation, but it is helpful.
