< Matthew 22 >

1 And answering Jesus again spoke in parables to them saying; 2 Has become like the kingdom of the heavens to a man a king who made a wedding feast for the son of him. 3 And he sent the servants of him to call those invited to the wedding feast, and not they were willing to come. 4 Again he sent other servants saying; do say to those invited; Behold the dinner of mine (I have prepared, *N+kO) the oxen of Mine and the fatlings killed, and all things [are] ready; come to the wedding feast. 5 And having paid no attention they went away, (that [one] *N+kO) indeed to [his] own field, (that [one] *N+kO) however (to *N+kO) the business of him; 6 And the rest having laid hold of the servants of him mistreated and killed [them]. 7 (and *o) (having heard *k) Now the king (that *k) was angry, and having sent the armies of him he destroyed the murderers those and the city of them he burned. 8 Then he says to the servants of him; The indeed wedding feast ready is, those however invited not were worthy. 9 do go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as (if *N+kO) you shall find, do invite to the wedding feast. 10 And having gone out the servants those into the highways they brought together all (as many as *N+kO) they found, evil both and good; and became full the (wedding hall *NK+O) of those reclining. 11 Having entered in then the king to see those reclining he saw there a man not being dressed himself in clothes of wedding 12 and he says to him; Friend, how did you enter here not having garment of wedding? And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants; Having bound his feet and hands (do take and *KO) do cast out him into the darkness outer; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth. 14 Many for are called, few however chosen. 15 Then having gone out the Pharisees counsel took how Him they may trap in His words. 16 And they send to Him the disciples of them with the Herodians (saying; *NK+o) Teacher, we know that true You are and the way of God in [the] truth You teach, and not there is care to You about no [one], not for You look on [the] appearance of men. 17 do tell therefore us what You think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? 18 Having known however Jesus the malice of them He said; Why Me do you test, hypocrites? 19 do show Me the coin of the tribute. And they presented to Him a denarius. 20 And He says to them; Of whom [is] likeness this And [of whom is] the inscription? 21 They say to Him; Of Caesar. Then He says to them; do give back therefore the [things] of Caesar to Caesar and the [things] of God to God. 22 And having heard they marveled, and having left Him they went away. 23 On that [very] day came to Him Sadducees (those *k) saying not being a resurrection and they questioned Him 24 saying; Teacher, Moses said; If anyone shall die not having children, will marry the brother of him the wife of him and he will raise up offspring for the brother of him. 25 There were now among us seven brothers. and the first having married died, and not having seed he left the wife of him to the brother of him; 26 Likewise also the second and the third until the seventh. 27 Finally then of all died (and *ko) the woman. 28 In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven will she be wife? All for had her. 29 Answering now Jesus said to them; You err not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 In for the resurrection neither do they marry nor (are given in marriage *N+kO) but like angels (of God *KO) in heaven they are. 31 Concerning now the resurrection of the dead surely you have read that which has been spoken to you by God saying; 32 I myself am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob?’ Not He is the God (God *k) of [the] dead but of [the] living. 33 And having heard the crowds were astonished at the teaching of Him. 34 And the Pharisees having heard that He had silenced the Sadducees were gathered together the same. 35 And questioned [Him] one of them a lawyer testing Him (and saying: *k) 36 Teacher, which commandment [is the] greatest in the law? 37 And (Jesus *k) (was saying *N+kO) to him; You will love [the] Lord the God of you with all the heart of you and with all the soul of you and with all the mind of you.’ 38 This is (the *no) great and first commandment. 39 [The] second also [is] like (to it: *NK+o) You will love the neighbour of you as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments all the law (hangs *N+kO) and the Prophets. 41 When were assembled now the Pharisees questioned them Jesus 42 saying; What you think concerning the Christ? Of whom son is He? They say to Him; Of David. 43 He says to them; How then David in spirit does call Him Lord saying: 44 Said (the *k) Lord to the Lord of me; do sit on [the] right hand of Me until when I may place the enemies of You ([as] a footstool *N+kO) for the feet of You? 45 If therefore David calls Him Lord, how son of him is He? 46 And no [one] was able to answer Him a word nor dared anyone from that [very] day to question Him no longer. no longer.
