If you translated Jesus's questions as statements in Matthew 17:25, you may need to give an alternate response here. You could also state it as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: "'Yes, that is true,' Peter said" or "Peter said that he agreed with Jesus" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-quotations)
From others
"From people who are not members of their own family." See how you translated these words in Matthew 17:25.

Alternate translation: "their own family" or "the people of their own country" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
