Matthew 22
1 Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ
2 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲣⲣⲟ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ⲙⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
ⲅ̅ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉϥϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲧⲱϩⲙ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ ⲉⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲉⲓ
4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’
ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲕⲉϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϫⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲁⲁⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲛ ⲁⲓⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧϥ ⲛⲁⲙⲁⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲁⲛⲁϣⲧ ⲥⲉϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲁⲙⲏⲓⲧⲛ ⲉⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲁⲙⲉⲗⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲩϭⲟⲟⲙ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲉⲓⲉⲡϣⲱⲧ
6 and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϥϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲁⲩⲥⲟⲥⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩ
7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.
ⲏ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉϥϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ϫⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲁⲛ
9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
ⲑ̅ⲃⲱⲕ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲙⲙⲁ ⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲱϩⲙ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ
10 Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏϫ
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏϫ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲙⲛϩⲃⲥⲱ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲙⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ
12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.

13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’

15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.

16 They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲣⲱⲇⲓⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲕϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϩⲁⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲕϭⲱϣⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉϩⲟ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ
17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

19 Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.

20 He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”

21 They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ϯ ϭⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.

23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,

24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’

25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.

26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.

27 After them all, the woman died.

28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”

29 But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.

31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

32 ‘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 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
