Matthew 17:19-26

19Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and said, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

20“Because of your little faith,” he told them. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

22As they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.

23They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised up.” And they were deeply distressed.

24When they came to Capernaum, those who collected the temple tax approached Peter and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”

25“Yes,” he said. When he went into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly kings collect tariffs or taxes? From their sons or from strangers?”

26“From strangers,” he said. “Then the sons are free,” Jesus told him.
