< Matthew 22 >

1 And Jesus answering spoke to them again in parables, saying,
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
2 The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,
ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲛϭⲓⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲣⲣⲟ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ⲙⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ.
3 and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.
ⲅ̅ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉϥϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲧⲱϩⲙ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ ⲉⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ. ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲉⲓ.
4 Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.
ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲕⲉϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲁϫⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲡⲁⲁⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲛ ⲁⲓⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧϥ. ⲛⲁⲙⲁⲥⲉ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲧⲥⲁⲛⲁϣⲧ ⲥⲉϣⲁⲁⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲁⲙⲏⲓⲧⲛ ⲉⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ.
5 But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.
ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲁⲙⲉⲗⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ. ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲩϭⲟⲟⲙ. ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲉⲓⲉⲡϣⲱⲧ.
6 And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].
ⲋ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϥϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲁⲩⲥⲟⲥⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩ.
7 And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲟⲩϭⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲥⲧⲣⲁⲧⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛⲛⲣⲉϥϩⲱⲧⲃ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲣⲱⲕϩ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ.
8 Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;
ⲏ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉϥϩⲙϩⲁⲗ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲁⲛ.
9 go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast.
ⲑ̅ⲃⲱⲕ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲙⲙⲁ ⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲱϩⲙ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ.
10 And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲥ. ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϩ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏϫ.
11 And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏϫ. ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲙⲛϩⲃⲥⲱ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲙⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ.
12 And he says to him, [My] friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But he was speechless.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉϣⲃⲏⲣ ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲁⲕⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲙⲛϩⲃⲥⲱ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲕ ⲙⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ. ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲣⲱϥ ⲧⲱⲙ.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲡ(ⲣ)ⲣⲟ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲉⲓ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲩⲣ ⲛⲛⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲙⲛⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲉⲧϩⲓⲃⲟⲗ. ⲉϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲣⲓⲙⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϭⲁϩϭϩ ⲛⲛⲟⲃϩⲉ.
14 For many are called ones, but few chosen ones.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲟⲧⲡ.
15 Then went the Pharisees and held a council how they might ensnare him in speaking.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϭⲟⲡϥ ϩⲛⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ.
16 And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one, for thou regardest not men's person;
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲙⲛⲛϩⲏⲣⲱⲇⲓⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲕϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϩⲁⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲕϭⲱϣⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉϩⲟ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
17 tell us therefore what thou thinkest: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϫⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲇⲟⲕⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ. ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲓ ⲉϯⲕⲩⲛⲥⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲣⲣⲟ ϫⲛⲟⲩⲕ ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲉⲓ.
18 But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites?
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲓⲁ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲛϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ.
19 Shew me the money of the tribute. And they presented to him a denarius.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲙⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲕⲩⲛⲥⲟⲥ. ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁⲧⲉⲉⲣⲉ.
20 And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?

21 They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Pay then what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲧⲉ. ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ϯ ϭⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲣⲣⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
22 And when they heard [him], they wondered, and left him, and went away.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲕⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ.
23 On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him,
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ϩⲙⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲥⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ. ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲇⲉ
24 saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife and shall raise up seed to his brother.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϩ. ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲙⲛⲧϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to his brother.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲛⲉ(ⲩ)ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲏⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲥⲁϣϥ ⲛⲥⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲁϥϫⲓϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩ(ⲱ) ⲉⲙⲛⲧϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲕⲱ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ.
26 In like manner also the second and the third, unto the seven.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲟⲙⲟⲓⲱⲥ ⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ϣⲁⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲁϣϥ.
27 And last of all the woman also died.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ.
28 In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven shall she be wife, for all had her?
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ϩⲛⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲡⲥⲁϣϥ. ⲁⲩϫⲓⲧⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
29 And Jesus answering said to them, Ye err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ. ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels of God in heaven.
ⲗ̅ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ. ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲉⲩϫⲓⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ. ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲉⲩϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲙⲛϩⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲛⲧⲡⲉ.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of [the] dead, but of [the] living.
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲥⲁⲁⲕ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲁⲛⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ⲡⲉ.
33 And when the crowds heard [it] they were astonished at his doctrine.
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛⲧⲉϥⲥⲃⲱ.
34 But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together.

35 And one of them, a lawyer, demanded, tempting him, and saying,
ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϥϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏ(ⲧⲟ)ⲩ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲙⲱⲇⲓⲇⲁⲥⲕⲁⲗⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
36 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲁϣ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ.
37 And he said to him, Thou shalt love [the] Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy understanding.
ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲕⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲕⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲣϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛⲧⲉⲕⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲕⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
38 This is [the] great and first commandment.
ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ.
39 And [the] second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ⲧⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲧϩⲓⲧⲟⲩⲱⲕ ⲛⲧⲉⲕϩⲉ.
40 On these two commandments the whole law and the prophets hang.
ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩⲁϣⲉ ϩⲛⲧⲉⲓⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲥⲛⲧⲉ.
41 And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus demanded of them,
ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁϥϫⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
42 saying, What think ye concerning the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, David's.
ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲇⲟⲕⲉⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ. ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲡⲉ.
43 He says to them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,
ⲙ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲙⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
44 The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies under thy feet?
ⲙ̅ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲁϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲥⲁⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ϣⲁⲛϯⲕⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲕϫⲓⲛϫⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ.
45 If therefore David call him Lord, how is he his son?

46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did any one dare from that day to question him any more.
