Matthew 17:12-26 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

12. but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them.”

13. Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of Yochanan the Immerser.

14. When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, and saying,

26. Peter said to him, “From strangers.”Yeshua said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.
