Matthew 15-17
Maori Bible
15 Na ka haere ki a Ihu etahi karaipi me etahi Parihi no Hiruharama, ka mea,
2 He aha au akonga ka takahi ai i te whakarerenga iho a nga kaumatua? Kahore hoki ratou e horoi i o ratou ringa ina kai taro.
3 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha hoki i waiho ai e koutou ta koutou whakarerenga iho hei takahi mo ta te Atua kupu ako?
4 I mea hoki te Atua, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea: a, Ki te kohukohu hoki tetahi i tona papa, i tona whaea ranei kia mate ia, mate rawa.
5 Ko koutou ia hei mea, Ki te mea tetahi ki tona papa, ki tona whaea ranei, Ko taku mea hei atawhainga mou kua tapaea atu ki te Atua;
6 Na kaua ia e whakahonore i tona papa. Heoi waiho ana e koutou ta koutou whakarerenga iho hei whakakahore i te kupu a te Atua.
7 E te hunga tinihanga, tika rawa ta Ihaia i poropiti ai mo koutou, i mea ai,
8 Te iwi nei ko o ratou ngutu hei whakahonore moku; matara noa atu ia i ahau o ratou ngakau.
9 Maumau karakia noa ratou ki ahau, ko ta ratou nei hoki e whakaako ai ko nga whakahau a te tangata.
10 A karangatia ana e ia te mano ki a ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia rongo, kia matau:
11 E kore te tangata e poke i te mea e tapoko ana ki te mangai; engari te mea e puta mai ana i roto i te mangai, ma tena e poke ai te tangata.
12 Me i reira ka haere ana akonga, ka mea ki a ia, E mohio ana ranei koe i he nga Parihi i to ratou rongonga i taua kupu?
13 Na ka whakahoki ia ka mea, Ka hutia nga mahuri katoa kihai i whakatokia e toku Matua i te rangi.
14 Waiho atu ratou: he matapo ratou e arahi ana i te matapo. Ki te arahina te matapo e te matapo, ka taka tahi raua ki te waikeri.
15 Ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Whakaaturia ki a matou tenei kupu whakarite.
16 Ka mea a Ihu, Kei te kuware tonu ano koutou?
17 Kiano koutou i matau noa, ko nga mea katoa e tapoko atu ana ki te mangai ka riro ki roto ki te kopu, a e akiritia ana ki te poka?
18 Tena ko nga mea e puta mai ana i te mangai e haere ake ana i te ngakau; ma ena e poke ai te tangata.
19 No roto hoki no te ngakau te putanga ake o nga whakaaro kino, o nga kohuru, o nga puremu, o nga moepuku, o nga tahae, o nga whakapae teka, o nga kohukohu:
20 Ko nga mea enei e noa ai te tangata: tena ko te kai me nga ringa kihai i horoia, e kore te tangata e noa i tena.
21 A ka haere atu a Ihu i reira, ka anga ki nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona.
22 Na, ko te haerenga mai i aua wahi o tetahi wahine, he Kanaani, ka karanga ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, e te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau; ko taku tamahine e ngaua kinotia ana e te rewera.
23 A kahore ana kupu i whakahoki ai ki a ia. Na ka haere mai ana akonga, ka tohe ki a ia, ka mea, Tonoa kia haere; e karanga ana hoki i muri i a tatou.
24 Otira ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Heoi nga mea i tonoa mai ai ahau, ko nga hipi ngaro o te whare o Iharaira.
25 Ka haere tonu mai tera, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia puta tou whakaaro ki ahau.
26 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Ehara i te tika kia tangohia te taro a nga tamariki, kia maka ma nga kuri.
27 Ka mea tera, Ae ra, e te Ariki: e kai ana ano nga kuri i nga kongakonga e ngahoro iho ana i te tepu a o ratou rangatira.
28 Katahi ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E tai, nui atu tou whakapono: waiho i tau i pai ai. A ora ake tana tamahine i taua wa pu ano.
29 Na ka whakatika a Ihu i reira, ka haere ki te taha o te moana o Kariri: a kake ana ki te maunga, noho ana i reira.
30 He rahi hoki te hui i haere ki a ia, i a ratou ano nga kopa, nga matapo, nga wahangu, nga mutu, me te tini ke atu, a tukua iho e ratou ki nga waewae o Ihu; a whakaorangia ana ratou e ia:
31 Miharo noa te mano i to ratou kitenga i nga wahangu e korero ana, i nga mutu e ora ana, i nga kopa e haere ana, i nga matapo e titiro ana: a whakakororiatia ana e ratou te Atua o Iharaira.
32 Na ka karangatia e Ihu ana akonga, ka mea, E aroha ana ahau ki te huihui nei, ka toru nei hoki o ratou ra e noho ana ki ahau, kahore hoki a ratou kai: e kore ahau e pai ki tona pukutia kei hemo ki te ara.
33 Na ko te meatanga a ana akonga ki a ia, no hea a tatou taro i te koraha, e makona ai tenei ope nui?
34 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, E hia a koutou taro? Ka mea ratou, E whitu, me nga ika nonohi, torutoru nei.
35 Na ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki te whenua;
36 A ka mau ia ki nga taro e whitu, ki nga ika; ka whakawhetai, ka whawhati, a hoatu ana e ia ki nga akonga, a na nga akonga ki te mano.
37 A kai ana ratou katoa, a ka makona: e whitu hoki nga kete i kohia e ratou, ki tonu i nga whatiwhatinga i toe.
38 A, ko te hunga i kai, e wha mano nga tane, haunga nga wahine, nga tamariki.
39 A, ka oti te mano te tono atu e ia, ka eke ia ki te kaipuke; na kua u ki nga wahi o Makarana.
16 Na ka haere mai nga Parihi me nga Haruki, ka whakamatautau ka tono kia whakakitea e ia ki a ratou tetahi tohu i te rangi.
2 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ka ahiahi, ka mea koutou, He paki; ina he whero te rangi.
3 A i te ata, He awha aianei; he whero nei te rangi, e tukupu ana. E te hunga tinihanga, e matau ana koutou ki te titiro ki te mata o te rangi; te taea e koutou nga tohu o nga taima.
4 E rapu tohu ana te whakatupuranga kino, puremu; a heoi ano tohu e hoatu ki a ratou ko te tohu o Hona poropiti. Na whakarerea ana ratou e ia, a haere ana.
5 A ka u nga akonga ki tera taha, kua wareware ki te mau taro atu.
6 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Kia mahara kia tupato i te rewena a nga Parihi, a nga Haruki.
7 A ka korerorero ratou ki a ratou ano, ka mea, No te mea kahore tatou i mau taro mai.
8 A ka mohio a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha koutou ka korerorero ai ki a koutou, e te hunga whakapono iti, no te mea kihai i maua mai he taro e koutou?
9 Kiano koutou i matau noa, kiano koutou i mahara ki nga taro e rima a nga mano e rima, ki te maha hoki o nga kete i riro i a koutou?
10 Ki nga taro hoki e whitu a nga mano e wha, ki te maha ano o nga kete i riro i a koutou?
11 He aha koutou te matau ai, ehara i te mea mo te taro taku i mea ai ki a koutou, kia tupato i te rewena a nga Parihi, a nga Haruki?
12 Katahi ratou ka matau kihai ia i mea kia tupato i te rewena o te taro, engari i te ako a nga Parihi, a nga Haruki.
13 Ka tae a Ihu ki nga wahi o Hiharia Piripai, ka ui ia ki ana akonga, ka mea, Ko wai ra ahau, te Tama a te tangata, ki ta nga tangata ki?
14 Na ka mea ratou, Ki ta etahi ko Hoani Kaiiriiri; ki ta etahi ko Iraia; ki ta etahi ko Heremaia, ko tetahi ranei o nga poropiti.
15 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, A ki ta koutou ko wai ahau?
16 Na ka whakahoki a Haimona Pita, ka mea, Ko te Karaiti koe, ko te Tama a te Atua ora.
17 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Ka koa koe, e Haimona Parahona: ehara hoki i te kikokiko, i te toto, nana tenei i whakakite ki a koe, engari na toku Matua i te rangi.
18 Na ko taku kupu ano tenei ki a koe, Ko Pita koe, a ka hanga e ahau taku hahi ki runga ki tenei kamaka; e kore ano e taea taua hahi e nga kuwaha o te reinga.
19 Ka hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe nga ki o te rangatiratanga o te rangi: a ko au e here ai i te whenua e herea ano i te rangi; ko au hoki e wewete ai i te whenua e wetekia ano i te rangi.
20 Me i reira ka whakatupato ia i ana akonga, kia kaua e korerotia e ratou ki te tangata ko te Karaiti ia.
21 No reira mai ano i timata ai a Ihu te whakaatu ki ana akonga, kua takoto te tikanga kia haere ia ki Hiruharama, a he maha nga mamae e mamae ai ia i nga kaumatua, i nga tohunga nui, i nga karaipi, a ka whakamatea ia, a hei te toru o nga ra ka ara.
22 Na ka mau a Pita ki a ia, ka anga ka whakahe ki tana, ka mea, Aue! kauaka, e te Ariki! kauaka ra tenei e pa ki a koe.
23 Na ka tahuri ia, ka mea ki a Pita, Haere ki muri i ahau, e Hatana: he tutukitanga waewae koe ki ahau: kahore hoki ou ngakau ki nga mea a te Atua, engari ki a te tangata.
24 Katahi a Ihu ka mea ki ana akonga, Ki te mea tetahi kia haere mai ki te whai i ahau, me whakakahore ia e ia ano, me amo tona ripeka, ka aru ai i ahau.
25 Ki te whai hoki tetahi kia ora, ka mate ano ia; ki te mate tetahi, mona i whakaaro ki ahau, ka kite ano ia i te ora.
26 He aha hoki te pai ki te tangata, ki te riro i a ia te ao katoa, a ka kore he ora mona? He aha hoki ta te tangata e hoatu ai hei utu mona kia ora?
27 Tenei ake hoki ka haere mai te Tama a te tangata, ratou ko ana anahera, i runga i te kororia o tona Matua; a ko reira hoatu ai e ia ki tenei, ki tenei, te utu o tana mahi.
28 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Tenei ano etahi e tu nei e kore e pangia e te mate, kia kite ra ano i te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i tona rangatiratanga.
17 A ka pahure nga ra e ono, ka mau a Ihu ki a Pita, ki a Hemi raua ko tona teina ko Hoani, na kawea ana ratou e ia ki runga ki tetahi maunga tiketike ki te wahi motu ke.
2 A ka puta ke tona ahua i to ratou aroaro: whiti tonu tona mata me te ra, ma tonu ona kakahu me te marama.
3 Na, ka kitea e ratou a Mohi raua ko Iraia e korerorero ana ki a ia.
4 Katahi ka oho a Pita, ka mea ki a Ihu, E te Ariki, he pai kia noho tatou i konei: ki te pai koe, ma matou e hanga etahi wharau ki konei kia toru; kia kotahi mou, kia kotahi mo Mohi, kia kotahi mo Iraia.
5 I a ia ano e korero ana, na ka taumarumaru iho te kapua marama i runga i a ratou: na he reo no te kapua e mea ana, Ko taku Tama tenei i aroha ai, ko taku i ahuareka ai; whakarongo ki a ia.
6 Ano ka rongo nga akonga, ka takoto tapapa ratou, he nui hoki to ratou wehi.
7 Na ka haere a Ihu, ka pa ki a ratou, ka mea, Whakatika, kaua e wehi.
8 A, no ka ara ake o ratou kanohi, kahore he tangata i kitea e ratou, ko Ihu anake.
9 Na, i a ratou e heke iho ana i te maunga, ka whakatupato a Ihu i a ratou, ka mea, Kaua e korerotia ki te tangata te mea i kitea nei, kia ara ake ra ano te Tama a te tangata i te hunga mate.
10 A ka ui ana akonga ki a ia, ka mea, He aha nga karaipi ka mea ai, ko Iraia kia matua puta mai?
11 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko Iraia ano e matua puta hei whakatika i nga mea katoa;
12 Ko taku ia tenei ki a koutou, Kua tae noa mai a Iraia a kihai ratou i mohio ki a ia, heoi meatia ana e ratou ki a ia ta ratou i pai ai. E pera ano te Tama a te tangata te mamae i a ratou.
13 Katahi ka mohio nga akonga ko Hoani Kaiiriiri tana i korero ai ki a ratou.
14 A, no ka tae ratou ki te mano, ka haere mai ki a ia tetahi tangata, ka tuturi nga turi ki a ia, ka mea,
15 E te ariki, kia aroha ki taku tana; he haurangi hoki ia, he kino tona mamae: he maha hoki ona hinganga ki te kapura, he maha ki te wai.
16 A i kawea ia e ahau ki au akonga, heoi kihai ia i taea te whakaora e ratou.
17 Na ka oho a Ihu, ka mea, E te uri whakaponokore, parori ke, kia pehea te roa o toku noho ki a koutou? Kia pehea te roa o toku manawanui ki a koutou? Kawea mai ia ki konei, ki ahau.
18 Na ka riria te rewera e Ihu; a puta ana i roto i a ia; a ora ake te tamaiti i taua wa pu ano.
19 Me i reira ka haere puku nga akonga ki a Ihu, ka mea, He aha ra te ahei ai i a matou te pei i a ia ki waho?
20 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Na to koutou whakapono iti; he pono hoki taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te mea he whakapono to koutou, pera me to te pua nani te rahi, e mea koutou ki tenei maunga, Neke atu i konei ki tera wahi; a ka neke; kahore hok i he mea e kore e taea e koutou.
21 Otira e kore e puta noa te pena, ma te inoi anake me te nohopuku.
22 A, i a ratou e noho ana i Kariri, ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Meake tukua te Tama a te tangata ki nga ringa o nga tangata:
23 A ka whakamatea e ratou, a i te toru o nga ra ka ara. A nui atu to ratou pouri.
24 A, no to ratou taenga ki Kaperenauma, ka haere mai ki a Pita nga kaikohikohi i te hawhe hekere, ka mea, E kore ianei tou Kaiwhakaako e homai i te hawhe hekere?
25 Ka mea ia, E hoatu ano. A, no ka tapoko ia ki te whare, ko Ihu kua korero ki a ia, kua mea, E pehea ana tou whakaaro, e Haimona? E tangohia ana e nga kingi o te ao nga takoha taonga me te takoha tangata i a wai? i a ratou ake tama, i a nga tanga ta ke ranei?
26 Ka mea a Pita ki a ia, I a nga tangata ke. Na ko te kianga a Ihu ki a ia, Ha, pena ka haere noa nga tamariki.
27 Ahakoa ra kei whai take he mai ratou ki a tatou, haere ki te moana, piua tetahi matau, a ka eke te ika matamua, tangohia; na, ka whakatuwhera i tona mangai, ka kite ai koe i tetahi moni: tangohia tena, ka hoatu ki a ratou, hei mea moku, mou.

Matthew 15-17
New International Version
That Which Defiles(A)
15 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!”(B)
3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’[a](C) and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[b](D) 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ 6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:
8 “‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
9 They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.(E)’[c](F)”
10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. 11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them,(G) but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”(H)
12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted(I) will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them; they are blind guides.[d](J) If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”(K)
15 Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”(L)
16 “Are you still so dull?”(M) Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart,(N) and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.(O) 20 These are what defile a person;(P) but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
The Faith of a Canaanite Woman(Q)
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.(R) 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David,(S) have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”(T)
23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”(U)
25 The woman came and knelt before him.(V) “Lord, help me!” she said.
26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith!(W) Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand(X)(Y)(Z)
29 Jesus left there and went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on a mountainside and sat down. 30 Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.(AA) 31 The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.(AB)
32 Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people;(AC) they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.”
33 His disciples answered, “Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?”
34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.
“Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
35 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. 36 Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them(AD) and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people. 37 They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.(AE) 38 The number of those who ate was four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 After Jesus had sent the crowd away, he got into the boat and went to the vicinity of Magadan.
The Demand for a Sign(AF)
16 The Pharisees and Sadducees(AG) came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.(AH)
2 He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.[e](AI) 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.”(AJ) Jesus then left them and went away.
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees
5 When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. 6 “Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”(AK)
7 They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”
8 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith,(AL) why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? 9 Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?(AM) 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?(AN) 11 How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.(AO)
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(AP)
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(AQ) others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”(AR)
15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”(AS)
17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood,(AT) but by my Father in heaven.(AU) 18 And I tell you that you are Peter,[f](AV) and on this rock I will build my church,(AW) and the gates of Hades[g] will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys(AX) of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be[h] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[i] loosed in heaven.”(AY) 20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone(AZ) that he was the Messiah.
Jesus Predicts His Death(BA)
21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem(BB) and suffer many things(BC) at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(BD) and that he must be killed(BE) and on the third day(BF) be raised to life.(BG)
22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”
23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan!(BH) You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.(BI) 25 For whoever wants to save their life[j] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.(BJ) 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 27 For the Son of Man(BK) is going to come(BL) in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.(BM)
28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
The Transfiguration(BN)(BO)
17 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John(BP) the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
4 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.(BQ) Listen to him!”(BR)
6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.”(BS) 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone(BT) what you have seen, until the Son of Man(BU) has been raised from the dead.”(BV)
10 The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”
11 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things.(BW) 12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come,(BX) and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished.(BY) In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer(BZ) at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.(CA)
Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy(CB)
14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures(CC) and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.”
17 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” 18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith(CD) as small as a mustard seed,(CE) you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move.(CF) Nothing will be impossible for you.” [21] [k]
Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time
22 When they came together in Galilee, he said to them, “The Son of Man(CG) is going to be delivered into the hands of men. 23 They will kill him,(CH) and on the third day(CI) he will be raised to life.”(CJ) And the disciples were filled with grief.
The Temple Tax
24 After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax(CK) came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”
25 “Yes, he does,” he replied.
When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes(CL)—from their own children or from others?”
26 “From others,” Peter answered.
“Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him. 27 “But so that we may not cause offense,(CM) go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.”
