| 22 | Matthew | ||
| 1 | And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, | The Parable of the Marriage Feast Mt.22.1-14 (Jerusalem) -[ Mt.22.1-14 → ] - Lk.14.15-24 | |
| 2 | "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a marriage feast for his son, | ||
| 3 | and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast; but they would not come. | ||
| 4 | Again he sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have made ready my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves are killed, and everything is ready; come to the marriage feast.' | ||
| 5 | But they made light of it and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, | ||
| 6 | while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. | ||
| 7 | The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. | ||
| 8 | Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy. | ||
| 9 | Go therefore to the thoroughfares, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find.' | ||
| 10 | And those servants went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good; so the wedding hall was filled with guests. | ||
| 11 | "But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment; | ||
| 12 | and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. | ||
| 13 | Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and cast him into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.' | ||
| 14 | For many are called, but few are chosen." | ||
| 15 | Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how to entangle him in his talk. | Paying Taxes to Caesar Mt.22.15-22 (Jerusalem) -[ Mt.22.15-22 → ] - Mk.12.13-17, Lk.20.20-26 | |
| 16 | And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Hero'di-ans, saying, Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God truthfully, and care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men. | ||
| 17 | Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" | ||
| 18 | But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, "Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? | ||
| 19 | Show me the money for the tax." And they brought him a coin. | ||
| 20 | And Jesus said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" | ||
| 21 | They said, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." | ||
| 22 | When they heard it, they marveled; and they left him and went away. | ||
| 23 | The same day Sad'ducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question, | The Question about the Resurrection Mt.22.23-33 (Jerusalem) -[ Mt.22.23-33 → ] - Mk.12.18-27, Lk.20.27-40 | |
| 24 | saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies, having no children, his brother must marry the widow, and raise up children for his brother.' | - 'If a man dies, having no children Mt.22.24 - Dt.25.5 | |
| 25 | Now there were seven brothers among us; the first married, and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother. | ||
| 26 | So too the second and third, down to the seventh. | ||
| 27 | After them all, the woman died. | ||
| 28 | In the resurrection, therefore, to which of the seven will she be wife? For they all had her." | ||
| 29 | But Jesus answered them, "You are wrong, because you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God. | ||
| 30 | For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. | ||
| 31 | And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God, | ||
| 32 | 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?He is not God of the dead, but of the living." | - 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Jacob Mt.22.32 - Ex.3.6, Ex.3.15 | |
| 33 | And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching. | ||
| 34 | But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sad'ducees, they came together. | The Great Commandment Mt.22.34-40 (Jerusalem) -[ Mt.22.34-40 → ] - Mk.12.28-34, Lk.10.25-28 | |
| 35 | And one of them, asked him a question, to test him. | ||
| 36 | "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" | ||
| 37 | And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. | - You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart Mt.22.37 - Dt.6.5, Jos.22.5 | |
| 38 | This is the great and first commandment. | ||
| 39 | And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. | - You shall love your neighbour as yourself. Mt.22.39 - Lv.19.18 | |
| 40 | On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets." | ||
| 41 | Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, | The Question about David's Son Mt.22.41-46 (Jerusalem) -[ Mt.22.41-46 → ] - Mk.12.35-37, Lk.20.41-44 | |
| 42 | saying, "What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "The son of David." | ||
| 43 | He said to them, "How is it then that David, inspired by the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying, | ||
| 44 | 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thy enemies under thy feet'? | - The Lord said to my Lord Mt.22.44 - Ps.110.1 | |
| 45 | If David thus calls him Lord, how is he his son?" | ||
| 46 | And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did any one dare to ask him any more questions. | ||
