Once
again,
Jesus spoke to
them
in parables :
Jesus answered
and
spoke again
in parables to
them,
saying,
“
The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared
a wedding
banquet
for his son .
"
The Kingdom of Heaven is like 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 out
his servants to call those who
were
invited to the marriage
feast
, but 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 out
other servants, saying,
'
Tell those who are
invited ,
"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 grabbed
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.
When
the king heard
that,
he
was angry
, and he sent his armies,
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 he said to his servants, '
The wedding is ready, but those who
were invited
weren't
worthy.
Go therefore to the crossroads
and
invite
to
the banquet
as many as you can
find. ’
Go therefore to the intersections
of
the highways,
and
as many as you may
find ,
invite
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.
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.
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 see the guests, he saw
there
a man who didn't
have
on
wedding clothing,
‘Friend,’
he asked
, ‘
how did you get
in here without
wedding clothes
? ’
But
the
man
was speechless.
and
he said
to
him
, 'Friend,
how did you come
in here not
wearing
wedding clothing
? '
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, take
him
away,
and throw him into the outer darkness ;
there is
where
the
weeping and grinding
of teeth will
be
. '
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 the Pharisees went and took
counsel
how
they
might
entrap
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
.
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
who
you
teach
, for
you aren't
partial
to anyone
.
So
tell us what You think :
Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? ”
Tell us therefore,
what do
you think ?
Is it lawful to pay taxes to 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 do
you test
me ,
you
hypocrites
?
Show Me the coin
used
for
the
tax. ”
And
they brought Him a denarius.
Show me the tax money
. "
They brought to
him a denarius.
“Whose
image
is
this,”
He asked, “and
whose inscription? ”
He asked them
, "
Whose is
this
image
and
inscription? "
“Caesar’s,”
they answered
. So
Jesus
told
them, “
Give to Caesar what
is
Caesar’s
, and to God what
is
God’s
. ”
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
. "
And
when they heard this
, they were
amazed.
So
they
left Him and went away.
When they heard it
, they marveled,
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 Sadducees (those
who say that
there is no resurrection )
came to him. 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 dies ,
having no
children, his brother shall
marry his
wife,
and raise up seed
for 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 brothers. The first married and died ,
and
having no
seed
left his wife to 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, to the seventh.
And
last
of
all, the woman died.
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 will 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 them
, "
You are mistaken ,
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
like God's
angels in heaven.
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have
you not
read what
God
said
to you :
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven't
you read that
which
was
spoken
to 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.
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 :
One of them, a
lawyer
, asked
him a question ,
testing
him.
“
Teacher, which commandment
is the greatest in the Law? ”
"
Teacher, which is the greatest 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. ’
Jesus said
to
him
, "'You
shall
love the Lord your God with all your heart ,
and with all your soul ,
and with all your mind. '
This is the first and greatest
commandment.
This is the first and great
commandment.
And
the
second is like
it:
‘
Love your neighbor as yourself. ’
A
second likewise
is this,
'You
shall
love your neighbor as yourself. '
All
the Law and the Prophets hang
on these two commandments. ”
The whole
law and the prophets depend
on these two commandments. "
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 do you think of
the Christ? Whose son is he? "
They said
to
him,
"Of
David
. "
Jesus
said to them, “
How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘
Lord ’?
For
he
says:
He
said to them, "
How then does 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 to my Lord, Sit on
my right hand ,
Until I make
your enemies a
footstool
for
your feet ?'
So
if David calls Him ‘
Lord, ’
how can
He be
David’s
son? ”
"
If then
David calls 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
.
No one was able to answer him
a word, neither
dared
any
man
from that day forth
ask
him any more
questions
.
