And
Jesus answered
and
spake
unto
them again
by
parables ,
and
said,
Once
again,
Jesus spoke
to
them in
parables :
The kingdom of heaven is like unto
a certain
king ,
which
made
a marriage
for his son ,
“
The kingdom of heaven is like a king who
prepared
a wedding
banquet
for his son .
And
sent forth
his servants to call them
that
were
bidden
to the wedding:
and
they would
not
come.
He
sent his servants to call those
he
had
invited
to the banquet,
but
they refused
to
come.
Again, he sent forth
other servants ,
saying
, Tell them
which
are
bidden,
Behold,
I have prepared my dinner :
my oxen and my
fatlings
are
killed, and all
things
are
ready :
come unto
the marriage
.
Again, he sent other servants and
said
, ‘
Tell those
who
have
been
invited
that
I have prepared my dinner .
My oxen and fattened
cattle
have
been
killed, and everything
is
ready .
Come to
the wedding
banquet
. ’
But they made
light
of
it,
and went their
ways
, one to his farm
, another to his merchandise:
But they paid
no
attention
and went away
, one to his field
, another to his business.
And
the remnant
took
his servants, and
entreated
them spitefully
, and slew
them.
The rest
seized
his servants, mistreated
them, and killed
them.
But
when
the king heard
thereof,
he
was wroth:
and he sent forth
his armies,
and
destroyed
those murderers ,
and burned
up
their city.
The king was enraged,
and he sent his troops
to
destroy
those murderers and burn
their city.
Then saith
he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they
which
were
bidden
were not worthy.
Then he said
to his servants, ‘
The wedding banquet
is ready, but those
I
invited
were not worthy.
Go ye
therefore into
the highways,
and as many as ye
shall
find ,
bid
to
the
marriage
.
Go therefore to
the crossroads
and invite
to
the
banquet
as many as you
can
find. ’
So those
servants went out into the highways,
and gathered together
all
as
many
as
they found
, both bad
and good :
and the wedding was furnished
with guests.
So the
servants went out into the streets
and gathered everyone
they could
find
, both evil
and good ,
and the wedding hall
was filled
with guests.
And
when the king came in to see the guests, he saw
there
a man which
had
not on
a
wedding garment:
But
when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted
a man who
was
not dressed
in
wedding clothes.
And
he
saith
unto
him,
Friend, how camest
thou
in hither
not
having
a
wedding garment
? And
he
was speechless.
‘
Friend, ’
he
asked,
‘
how did
you
get
in here
without
wedding clothes
? ’
But
the
man
was speechless.
Then said
the king to
the servants, Bind
him hand and foot, and take
him
away,
and
cast
him into outer darkness, there shall
be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Then the king told
the servants, ‘Tie
him hand and foot, and throw
him into the
outer darkness, where
there will
be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ’
For many are called, but few are chosen.
For many are called, but few are chosen. ”
Then went
the Pharisees ,
and took
counsel
how
they
might
entangle
him
in his talk
.
Then the Pharisees went
out
and conspired
to
trap
Jesus
in His words
.
And
they sent out
unto
him
their disciples with the Herodians ,
saying
, Master
, we know that thou
art
true,
and teachest
the way of God in truth, neither
carest
thou
for
any
man:
for
thou
regardest
not
the
person
of
men
.
They sent their disciples to
Him
along
with the Herodians .
“Teacher
, ”
they
said
, “
we know that You
are
honest
and that
You
teach
the way of God in accordance
with
the
truth .
You
seek
favor
from
no
one
, because
You
pay
no
attention
to
external
appearance
.
Tell us therefore,
What thinkest
thou?
Is it lawful to give
tribute
unto
Caesar ,
or not?
So
tell us what You
think:
Is it lawful to pay
taxes
to
Caesar or not? ”
But Jesus perceived
their wickedness,
and said, Why tempt
ye
me ,
ye
hypocrites
?
But Jesus knew
their evil
intent
and said, “You
hypocrites,
why are
you
testing
Me?
Shew
me the tribute
money
. And they brought unto
him a penny
.
Show
Me the coin
used
for
the
tax
. ”
And they brought Him a denarius
.
And
he
saith
unto
them,
Whose is this image
and superscription
?
“
Whose image
is this ,”
He
asked,
“
and whose
inscription
? ”
They
say
unto
him
, Caesar's
. Then
saith
he
unto
them, Render
therefore
unto
Caesar the
things
which
are
Caesar's;
and unto
God the
things
that
are
God's
.
“Caesar’s
, ”
they
answered
. So
Jesus
told
them, “Give
to
Caesar what
is
Caesar’s,
and to
God what
is
God’s
. ”
When they had
heard these
words
, they marvelled,
and
left him ,
and went their
way
.
And
when they heard this
, they were
amazed.
So
they
left Him and went away
.
The
same day came
to
him
the Sadducees, which
say that
there is no resurrection, and asked
him ,
That
same day the Sadducees, who
say there is no resurrection, came
to
Jesus
and questioned
Him .
Saying,
Master
, Moses
said, If a man die,
having no
children, his brother shall
marry his
wife,
and raise up seed
unto
his
brother
.
“Teacher
, ”
they
said, “Moses
declared
that
if a man dies
without
having children, his brother is
to
marry the
widow
and raise up offspring
for
him
.
Now there were with
us
seven brethren:
and
the first ,
when
he
had
married a
wife,
deceased,
and ,
having no
issue,
left his wife unto
his brother :
Now there were seven brothers
among
us.
The first one
married and died
without
having children.
So
he
left his wife to
his brother .
Likewise
the second also,
and the
third, unto
the seventh.
The same
thing
happened
to
the
second and third brothers
, down
to
the seventh.
And last of all the woman died also
.
And last of all ,
the woman died.
Therefore
in the resurrection whose wife shall
she be of the seven? for they
all had
her.
In the resurrection ,
then,
whose wife will
she be of the seven? For all of
them
were
married
to
her. ”
Jesus answered and
said
unto
them
, Ye
do err,
not knowing
the scriptures ,
nor
the power of God.
Jesus answered, “You
are
mistaken
because
you
do not know
the Scriptures or
the power of God.
For
in the resurrection they
neither marry ,
nor are
given in marriage, but
are
as
the angels of
God
in heaven.
In the resurrection ,
people
will
neither marry nor be
given in marriage .
Instead
, they
will
be
like
the angels in heaven.
But as
touching
the resurrection of the dead, have ye
not read that
which
was
spoken
unto
you
by
God ,
saying,
But concerning
the resurrection of the dead, have you
not read what
God said
to
you:
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.
‘
I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob ’
? He
is not the God of the dead, but of the living. ”
And
when the multitude
heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine
.
When the crowds
heard this, they were astonished at His teaching
.
But
when the Pharisees had
heard that he
had put
the Sadducees to
silence
, they were
gathered together.
And
when the Pharisees heard that Jesus
had silenced
the Sadducees, they themselves
gathered together.
Then
one of them, which
was
a
lawyer
, asked
him a question ,
tempting
him,
and
saying,
One of them, an
expert
in
the
law
, tested
Him with
a question :
Master
, which is the great
commandment
in the law?
“Teacher
, which commandment
is the greatest
in the Law? ”
Jesus said
unto
him
, Thou
shalt
love the Lord thy
God with all thy
heart ,
and with all thy
soul ,
and with all thy
mind.
Jesus declared
, “‘
Love the Lord your
God with all your
heart and with all your
soul and with all your
mind. ’
This is the first and great
commandment.
This is the first and greatest
commandment.
And the second is like unto
it ,
Thou
shalt
love thy
neighbour
as thyself
.
And the second is like it :
‘
Love your
neighbor
as yourself
. ’
On
these
two
commandments
hang
all the law and the prophets.
All the Law and the Prophets hang
on
these
two
commandments
. ”
While the Pharisees were gathered
together
, Jesus asked
them ,
While the Pharisees were assembled
, Jesus questioned
them :
Saying,
What think ye
of
Christ? whose son is he? They
say
unto
him
, The
son
of
David
.
“
What do
you
think about
the
Christ? Whose son is He? ”
“David’s
, ”
they
answered
.
He
saith
unto
them, How then doth
David in spirit call him Lord ,
saying,
Jesus
said
to
them, “
How then does
David in the
Spirit call Him ‘
Lord ’?
For
he
says:
The LORD said unto
my Lord, Sit thou
on
my right hand ,
till
I make
thine
enemies thy
footstool?
‘
The Lord said to
my Lord, “
Sit at
My right hand until
I put
Your
enemies under
Your
feet.”’
If David then
call
him Lord, how is
he his
son?
So
if David calls
Him ‘
Lord, ’
how can
He be
David’s
son? ”
And
no man
was able to answer him
a word, neither
durst
any
man
from that day forth
ask
him any more
questions
.
No one
was able to answer a word, and
from that day on
no
one
dared
to
question
Him any further
.
