Matthew 22
1 And, answering, Jesus, again, spake in parables unto them, saying: —
And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them, saying,
2 The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man, a king, —who made a marriage-feast for his son;
The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, which made a marriage feast for his son,
3 And sent his servants, to call the invited into the marriage-feast, —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, sent he other servants, saying—Say to the invited, Lo! my dinner, have I prepared, mine oxen and my fatlings, are slain, —and, all things, are, ready: Come ye into the marriage-feast.
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 And, they, slighting it, went off, one, indeed, into his own field, and, another, unto 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, securing his servants, ill-treated and slew them.
and the rest laid hold on his servants, and entreated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 And, the king, was provoked to anger, —and, sending his armies, destroyed those murderers, and, their city, set on fire.
But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Then, saith he unto his servants—The marriage, indeed, is ready, —but, the invited, were not, worthy;
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy.
9 Be going, therefore, into the crossways of the roads, and, as many as ye shall find, call ye into the marriage-feast.
Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast.
10 And those servants, going forth, into the roads, gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good, —and filled was the bride-chamber 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 But the king, entering to view the guests, saw there a man, who had not put on a wedding-garment, —
But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding-garment:
12 And saith unto him—Friend! how camest thou in here, not having a wedding-garment? And, he, was put to silence.
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 unto the ministers, Binding him feet and hands, cast him forth into the darkness, outside: There, shall be wafting 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 gnashing of teeth.
14 For, many, are called, but, few, chosen.
For many are called, but few chosen.
15 Then, went the Pharisees and took, counsel, that they might ensnare him, in discourse.
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might ensnare him in [his] talk.
16 And they sent forth to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher! we know that, true, thou art, and, the way of God, in truth, dost teach, and it concerneth thee not about anyone, —for thou lookest not unto the face of men:
And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the person of men.
17 Tell us then, how, to thee, it seemeth? Is it allowable to give tax unto Caesar, or not?
Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus, taking note of their wickedness, said—Why are ye tempting me, hypocrites?
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Shew me the coin appointed for the tax. And, they, brought unto him a denary.
Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 And he saith unto them—Whose, is this image and the inscription?
And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say—Caesar’s. Then, saith he unto them—Render, therefore, the things of Caesar, unto Caesar, —and, the things of God, unto God.
They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
22 And, hearing, they marvelled, —and, leaving him, departed.
And when they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went their way.
23 On that day, there came unto him Sadducees, who say, there is, no resurrection—and they questioned him,
On that day there came to him Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him,
24 saying—Teacher! Moses, said, If any man die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
saying, Master, 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, marrying, died, and not having seed, left his wife unto 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 Likewise, the second also, and the third, —unto the seven.
in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27 And, last of all, died, the wife.
And after them all the woman died.
28 In the resurrection, therefore, —Of which of the seven, shall she be wife? For, 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—Ye are deceiving yourselves, knowing neither the Scriptures, nor yet 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 neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but, as messengers in the heaven, are they.
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven.
31 But, as touching the resurrection of the dead—Have ye not read what was spoken unto you by God, saying—
But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
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 Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not [the God] of the dead, but of the living.
33 And, the multitudes, hearing, were being struck with astonishment at his teaching.
And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 Now, the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, were brought together with one accord;
But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered themselves together.
35 and one from among them, a lawyer, proposed a question, putting him to the test:
And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him,
36 Teacher! which commandment, is greatest in the law?
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 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:
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 great and first commandment.
This is the great and first commandment.
39 The second, like it, is, this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
And a second like [unto it] is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 In these two commandments, all the law, is contained, and the prophets.
On these two commandments hangeth the whole law, and the prophets.
41 Now, the Pharisees having come together, Jesus questioned them, saying—
Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
42 How, to you, doth it seem, concerning the Christ? Whose son, is he? They say unto him—David’s.
saying, What think ye of the Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, [The son] of David.
43 He saith unto them—How then doth, David, in spirit, call him, Lord, saying—
He saith unto them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The Lord, hath said unto, my Lord, —Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool?
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet?
45 If then, David, calleth him, Lord, How, is he, his son?
If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And, no one, was able to answer him a word, neither durst anyone, from that day, question him, any more.
And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
