Matthew 22
1 And Jesus answering spoke to them again in parables, saying,
And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:
2 The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,
The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son.
3 and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.
And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage; and they would not come.
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.
Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come ye to the marriage.
5 But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.
But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise.
6 And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].
And the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.
7 And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
But when the king had heard of it, he was angry, and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.
8 Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;
Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.
9 go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast.
Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.
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.
And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests.
11 And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment.
And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.
12 And he says to him, [My] friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But he was speechless.
And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent.
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.
Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called ones, but few chosen ones.
For many are called, but few are chosen.
15 Then went the Pharisees and held a council how they might ensnare him in speaking.
Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech.
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;
And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men.
17 tell us therefore what thou thinkest: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites?
But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites?
19 Shew me the money of the tribute. And they presented to him a denarius.
Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny.
20 And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?
And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?
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.
They say to him: Caesar’s. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God, the things that are God’s.
22 And when they heard [him], they wondered, and left him, and went away.
And hearing this they wondered, and leaving him, went their ways.
23 On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him,
That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him,
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.
Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up issue to his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to his brother.
Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his brother.
26 In like manner also the second and the third, unto the seven.
In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman also died.
And last of all the woman died also.
28 In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven shall she be wife, for all had her?
At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her.
29 And Jesus answering said to them, Ye err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.
And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels of God in heaven.
For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,
And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you:
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.
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 And when the crowds heard [it] they were astonished at his doctrine.
And the multitudes hearing it, were in admiration at his doctrine.
34 But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together.
But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together:
35 And one of them, a lawyer, demanded, tempting him, and saying,
And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him:
36 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
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.
Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.
38 This is [the] great and first commandment.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
39 And [the] second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments the whole law and the prophets hang.
On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.
41 And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus demanded of them,
And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 saying, What think ye concerning the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, David's.
Saying: What think you of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him: David’s.
43 He says to them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,
He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying:
44 The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies under thy feet?
The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
45 If therefore David call him Lord, how is he his son?
If David then 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.
And no man was able to answer him a word; neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
