Matthew 17:19-26

19AfterwardG5119 theG3588 disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to JesusG2424 privatelyG2596G2398 and askedG2036, “WhyG1223 couldn’tG5101G3756G1410 weG1473 drive it outG1544G846?”

20“BecauseG1223 youG4771 have so little faithG3640,” He answeredG3004G846. “ForG1063 trulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771, ifG1437 you haveG2192 faithG4102 the size ofG5613 a mustardG4615 seedG2848, you can sayG2046 to thisG3778 mountainG3735, ‘MoveG3327 from hereG1759 to thereG1563,’ andG2532 it will moveG3327. NothingG3762 will be impossibleG101 for youG4771.”1

22WhenG1161 theyG846 gathered togetherG4962 inG1722 GalileeG1056, JesusG2424 toldG2036 themG846, “TheG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 is aboutG3195 to be deliveredG3860 intoG1519 the handsG5495 of menG444. 23They will killG615 HimG846, andG2532 on theG3588 thirdG5154 dayG2250 He will be raisedG1453 to life.” AndG2532 the disciples were deeply grievedG4970G3076.

24AfterG1161 theyG846 had arrivedG2064 inG1519 CapernaumG2584, theG3588 collectorsG2983 of theG3588 two-drachmaG1323 tax2 cameG4334 to PeterG4074 andG2532 askedG2036, “Does yourG4771 TeacherG1320 payG3756G5055 theG3588 two drachmasG1323?”

25“YesG3483,” he answeredG3004.

WhenG2532 Peter enteredG2064G1519 theG3588 houseG3614, JesusG2424 preemptedG4399 himG846. “WhatG5101 do you thinkG4771G1380, SimonG4613?” He askedG3004. “FromG575 whomG5101 do theG3588 kingsG935 of theG3588 earthG1093 collectG2983 customsG5056 and taxesG2778: fromG575 theirG846 own sonsG5207, orG2228 fromG575 othersG245?”

26“FromG575 othersG245,” Peter answeredG1161G2036.

“ThenG686 theG3588 sonsG5207 areG1510 exemptG1658,” JesusG2424 saidG5346 to himG846.
