And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them, saying,
2 The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son.
The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
3 And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage; and they would not come.
and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come.
4 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.
Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.
5 But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise.
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
6 And the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.
and the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 But when the king had heard of it, he was angry, and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.
But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.
Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast.
10 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.
And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.
11 And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.
But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment:
12 And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent.
and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.
13 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.
Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why make ye trial of me, ye hypocrites?
19 Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny.
Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a denarius.
20 And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?
And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?

saying, Teacher, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 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.
Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his brother;
26 In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh.
in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
And after them all, the woman died.
28 At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her.
In the resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
But Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven.

36 Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?

And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the greatest and the first commandment.
This is the great and first commandment.
39 And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
And a second like [unto it] is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

44 The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no man was able to answer him a word; neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
