Young's Literal Translation
Once
again,
Jesus spoke
to them in parables:
And
Jesus answering,
again
spake
to them in similes,
saying,
“
The kingdom
of heaven
is
like
a king who prepared
a
wedding
banquet
for his son .
`
The reign
of the
heavens
was
likened
to
a man,
a
king ,
who made
marriage-feasts
for his son ,
He sent his servants to call those he
had
invited
to the banquet
, but
they refused
to come.
and
he sent forth
his servants to call those having
been
called
to the marriage-feasts
, and
they were
not
willing
to 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,
Say
to
those who have been called:
Lo,
my dinner I
prepared,
my oxen and the
fatlings
have been killed, and all
things
`are'
ready ,
come ye
to the marriage-feasts;
But
they
paid
no
attention
and went away, one to his field, another
to his business.
and they,
having
disregarded
`it',
went away, the
one to his own
field, and
the
other
to his merchandise;
The rest seized
his servants, mistreated
them,
and killed
them.
and
the rest ,
having
laid
hold
on
his servants, did
insult
and slay
`
them '
.
The king was enraged
, and he
sent his troops
to
destroy
those murderers and burn
their city .
`And
the king having
heard,
was wroth
, and having
sent forth
his soldiers,
he
destroyed
those murderers ,
and their city he
set
on
fire;
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 marriage-feast
indeed
is ready, and
those called
were not worthy ,
Go
therefore
to the crossroads
and invite
to
the
banquet
as many as you
can
find. ’
be
going,
then,
on
to the cross-ways,
and as many as ye
may
find ,
call
ye
to
the
marriage-feasts
.
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 ,
having
gone
forth
to
the ways,
did
gather
all,
as
many
as
they found
, both bad
and good, and the marriage-feast
apartment
was filled with those
reclining
.
But
when
the king came
in to see
the
guests
, he
spotted
a man who
was
not dressed
in
wedding
clothes.
`And
the king having
come
in to view
those
reclining
, saw
there
a man not clothed
with
clothing
of
the
marriage-feast,
‘Friend,’
he asked
, ‘
how did
you
get
in here
without
wedding
clothes?’
But
the man
was speechless.
and
he saith
to
him
, Comrade,
how didst
thou
come
in hither,
not
having
clothing
of
the marriage-feast?
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 said
the king to
the ministrants
, Having
bound
his
feet
and hands
, take
him up
and
cast
forth
to
the outer darkness, there shall
be the
weeping and the
gnashing of the
teeth ;
For many are called, but
few are
chosen. ”
for many are called, and
few chosen. '
Then the Pharisees went
out
and
conspired
to
trap
Jesus
in His
words .
Then the Pharisees having
gone,
took
counsel
how
they
might
ensnare
him
in words ,
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 have
known
that thou
art
true,
and the way of God in truth thou
dost
teach,
and
thou
art
not
caring
for
any
one, for
thou
dost
not
look
to the
face
of
men;
So
tell us what You
think :
Is it lawful to pay
taxes
to Caesar or not? ”
tell us ,
therefore,
what dost
thou
think ?
is it lawful to give
tribute
to Caesar or not? '
But
Jesus knew
their evil
intent
and
said
, “You
hypocrites
, why are
you
testing
Me?
And
Jesus having
known
their wickedness
, said
, `
Why me do
ye
tempt,
hypocrites
?
Show Me the coin used
for
the
tax.”
And they brought Him a denarius.
show me the tribute-
coin ?'
and they brought to
him a denary;
“
Whose image
is this ,”
He
asked,
“
and whose
inscription? ”
and
he
saith
to
them,
`
Whose `
is '
this image
and the
inscription? '
“Caesar’s,”
they answered.
So
Jesus
told
them, “Give
to Caesar what
is
Caesar’s
, and to God what
is
God’s.”
they say
to
him,
`Caesar's;'
then
saith
he
to
them, `Render
therefore
the
things
of
Caesar
to Caesar, and the
things
of
God
to God ;'
And when
they
heard this,
they were
amazed.
So
they
left Him and
went away.
and having
heard they wondered,
and
having
left him they
went away.
That same
day the
Sadducees, who say
there is no
resurrection
, came
to
Jesus
and questioned Him .
In
that day there
came
near
to
him
Sadducees, who are
saying
there is not
a
rising
again
, and they
questioned him ,
saying,
“
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
.
`
Teacher, Moses
said, If any
one
may
die
not
having children, his brother shall
marry his
wife,
and shall
raise up seed
to
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 .
`And
there were with
us
seven brothers ,
and
the first having
married did
die,
and not
having seed,
he left his wife to his brother ;
The
same
thing
happened
to
the second and third brothers
, down
to
the seventh .
in
like
manner
also
the second ,
and the
third, unto
the seventh ,
And last of all ,
the woman died.
and last of all died
also
the woman ;
In the resurrection,
then
, whose
wife
will
she
be
of the seven ?
For all of
them
were
married
to
her .”
therefore
in the rising
again
, of which
of
the seven shall
she
be
wife
--
for all had
her ?'
Jesus answered
, “You
are
mistaken
because
you
do
not know
the Scriptures
or
the power of God .
And
Jesus answering
said
to
them
, `Ye
go
astray,
not knowing
the Writings,
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 rising
again
they
do
not
marry ,
nor are
they
given in marriage, but
are
as
messengers
of
God
in heaven.
But
concerning the resurrection
of the dead, have
you
not read what
God
said
to you :
`And
concerning the rising
again
of the dead, did
ye
not 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 a
God of dead men
, but of living. '
When
the
crowds
heard this
, they
were astonished at His teaching .
And
having
heard, the
multitudes
were astonished at his teaching ;
And when
the Pharisees heard that Jesus
had
silenced
the Sadducees, they
themselves
gathered together .
and the Pharisees ,
having
heard that he
did
silence
the Sadducees, were
gathered together unto
him;
One of them, an
expert
in
the
law,
tested
Him
with
a question :
and
one of them, a lawyer,
did
question ,
tempting
him,
and
saying,
“
Teacher, which commandment
is the greatest
in the Law? ”
`
Teacher, which `
is '
the great
command
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
Jesus said
to
him
, `Thou
shalt
love the Lord thy
God with all thy
heart ,
and with all thy
soul ,
and with all thine
understanding
--
This is the
first and greatest
commandment.
this is a
first and great
command;
And the second is like it :
‘
Love your
neighbor as yourself.’
and the second `
is '
like to
it ,
Thou
shalt
love thy
neighbor as thyself;
All the Law and the Prophets hang on
these
two
commandments
. ”
on
these
--
the
two
commands
--
all the law and the prophets do
hang. '
While
the Pharisees were
assembled
, Jesus questioned
them :
And
the Pharisees having
been
gathered
together
, Jesus did
question
them ,
“
What do you
think about
the Christ? Whose
son
is He? ”
“David’s,”
they answered
.
saying,
`
What do ye
think concerning
the Christ? of
whom
is he son
? '
They say
to
him,
`Of
David
. '
Jesus
said
to them, “
How then does
David in the Spirit call Him ‘
Lord ’?
For
he
says:
He
saith
to 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 to my lord, Sit at my right hand ,
till
I may
make
thine
enemies thy
footstool?
So
if David calls
Him ‘
Lord, ’
how can
He be
David’s
son? ”
If then
David doth
call
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, nor
durst
any
from that day question him any more
.
