Once
again,
Jesus spoke
to
them
in parables :
And
Jesus answered
and
spake
again
in parables unto
them,
saying,
“
The kingdom of heaven is like
a king who prepared
a wedding
banquet
for his son .
The kingdom of heaven is likened
unto
a certain
king ,
who made
a marriage
feast
for his son ,
He
sent his servants to call those
he
had
invited
to the banquet,
but
they refused
to
come.
and
sent forth
his servants to call them
that
were
bidden
to the marriage
feast:
and
they would
not
come.
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
. ’
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
.
But they paid
no
attention
and went away
, one to his field
, another to his business.
But they made
light
of
it,
and went their
ways
, one to his own
farm
, another to his merchandise;
The rest seized
his servants, mistreated
them, and killed them.
and
the rest laid
hold
on
his servants, and
treated
them shamefully
, and killed them.
The king was enraged,
and he sent his troops
to
destroy
those murderers and burn
their city.
But
the king was wroth;
and he sent his armies,
and
destroyed
those murderers ,
and burned
their city.
Then he said
to his servants, ‘
The wedding banquet
is ready, but those
I
invited
were not worthy.
Then saith
he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they
that
were bidden
were
not worthy.
Go therefore to
the crossroads
and
invite
to
the banquet
as many as you
can
find. ’
Go ye
therefore unto
the partings
of
the highways,
and
as many as ye
shall
find ,
bid
to
the
marriage
feast
.
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
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.
But when the king came in to see
the guests, he spotted
a man who was
not dressed
in
wedding clothes.
But when the king came in to behold
the guests, he saw
there
a man who had
not on
a
wedding -garment:
‘Friend,’
he asked
, ‘
how did
you
get
in here
without
wedding clothes
? ’
But
the
man
was speechless.
and
he saith
unto
him
, Friend,
how camest
thou
in hither
not
having
a
wedding -garment
? And
he
was speechless.
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. ’
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.
For many are called, but few are
chosen. ”
For many are called, but few chosen.
Then the Pharisees went
out
and conspired
to
trap
Jesus
in His words
.
Then went
the Pharisees ,
and took
counsel
how
they
might
ensnare
him
in `
his '
talk
.
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
.
And
they send
to him their
disciples,
with the Herodians, saying
, Teacher,
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
.
So
tell us what You
think:
Is it lawful to pay
taxes
to
Caesar or not? ”
Tell us therefore,
What thinkest
thou?
Is it lawful to give
tribute
unto
Caesar ,
or not?
But Jesus knew
their evil
intent
and said, “You
hypocrites,
why are
you
testing
Me?
But Jesus perceived
their wickedness,
and said, Why make
ye
trial
of
me ,
ye
hypocrites
?
Show Me the coin
used
for
the
tax
. ”
And they brought Him a denarius.
Show me the tribute
money
. And they brought unto
him a denarius.
“
Whose image
is this ,”
He
asked,
“
and whose
inscription
? ”
And
he
saith
unto
them,
Whose is this image
and superscription
?
“Caesar’s,”
they answered
. So
Jesus
told
them, “Give
to
Caesar what
is
Caesar’s,
and to
God what
is
God’s
. ”
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
.
And when they heard this
, they were
amazed.
So
they
left Him and went away.
And when they heard it
, they marvelled,
and
left him ,
and went away.
That same
day the
Sadducees, who
say there is no resurrection ,
came
to
Jesus
and questioned
Him .
On
that day there
came
to
him
Sadducees, they
that
say that
there is no resurrection :
and they
asked
him ,
“
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
.
saying,
Teacher, Moses
said, If a man die,
having no
children, his brother shall
marry his
wife,
and raise up seed
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 .
Now there were with
us seven
brethren:
and
the first married and deceased,
and
having no
seed
left his wife unto
his brother ;
The
same
thing
happened
to
the second and third brothers
, down
to
the seventh.
in
like
manner
the second also,
and the
third, unto
the seventh.
And last
of
all, the woman died.
And after
them
all, the woman died.
In the resurrection ,
then,
whose wife will
she be of the seven? For all of
them
were
married
to
her. ”
In the resurrection therefore
whose wife shall
she be of the seven? for they
all had
her.
Jesus answered, “You
are
mistaken
because
you
do not know
the Scriptures or
the power of God.
But
Jesus answered and
said
unto
them
, Ye
do err,
not knowing
the scriptures ,
nor
the power of God.
In the resurrection ,
people
will
neither marry nor be
given in marriage .
Instead
, they
will
be
like
the
angels in heaven.
For
in the resurrection they
neither marry ,
nor are
given in marriage, but
are
as
angels in heaven.
But concerning
the resurrection of the dead, have you
not read what
God
said
to
you :
But as
touching
the resurrection of the dead, have ye
not read that
which
was
spoken
unto
you by
God,
saying,
‘
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. ”
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.
When the crowds
heard this
, they were astonished at His teaching.
And
when the multitudes
heard it
, they were astonished at his teaching.
And
when
the Pharisees heard that Jesus
had silenced
the Sadducees, they
themselves
gathered together.
But
the Pharisees ,
when
they
heard that he
had put
the Sadducees to
silence
, gathered themselves
together.
One of them, an
expert
in
the
law
, tested
Him with
a question:
And
one of them, a
lawyer
, asked
him a question ,
trying
him
:
“
Teacher, which commandment
is the greatest
in the Law? ”
Teacher, which is the great
commandment
in the law?
Jesus
declared
, “‘
Love the Lord your
God with all your
heart and with all your
soul and with all your
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.
This is the first
and greatest
commandment.
This is the great
and first
commandment.
And the
second is
like it :
‘
Love your
neighbor as yourself
. ’
And a
second like `unto
it '
is
this,
Thou
shalt
love thy
neighbor as thyself
.
All
the Law and the Prophets hang
on
these
two
commandments
. ”
On
these
two
commandments
the whole
law hangeth,
and the prophets.
While the Pharisees were assembled
, Jesus questioned
them :
Now
while the Pharisees were gathered
together
, Jesus asked
them a
question,
“
What do
you
think about
the Christ? Whose son is He? ”
“David’s,”
they answered
.
saying,
What think ye
of
the Christ? whose son is he? They say
unto
him,
`The
son'
of
David
.
Jesus
said
to
them, “
How then does
David in the Spirit call Him ‘
Lord ’?
For
he
says:
He
saith
unto
them, How then doth
David in the Spirit call him Lord ,
saying,
‘
The Lord said to
my Lord, “
Sit at
My right hand until
I put Your
enemies under
Your
feet .”’
The Lord said unto
my Lord, Sit thou
on
my right hand ,
Till
I put thine
enemies underneath
thy
feet ?
So
if David calls
Him ‘
Lord, ’
how can
He be
David’s
son? ”
If David then
calleth
him Lord, how is
he his
son?
No one was able to answer a word, and
from that day on
no
one
dared
to
question
Him any further
.
And
no one was able to answer him
a word, neither
durst
any
man
from that day forth
ask
him any more
questions
.
