⁴⁰ for just as ^(A)Jonah was in the stomach of the sea monster for three days and three nights, so will ^(B)the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for ^(C)three days and three nights.

^22 (A)And while they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be ^[a]handed over to men; ²³ and ^(B)they will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day.” And they were deeply grieved.

From whom do the kings of the earth collect ^(E)customs or ^[d](F)poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?” ²⁶ When Peter said, “From strangers,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are ^[e]exempt. ²⁷ However, so that we do not ^(G)offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a ^[f]stater. Take that and give it to them for you and Me.”
