things
are
ready. Come to the marriage
feast!"'

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 own
farm
, another to his merchandise,

counsel
how

might

him

to
trap
Jesus
in His words
.

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
.
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 do
you think ?
Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar ,

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
. "
“Caesar’s
, ”
they
answered

told
them, “
Give to Caesar what

is
God’s
. ”
When they heard it
, they marveled,

On
that day Sadducees (those
who say that
there is no resurrection )
came to him. They
asked
him,
That same
day the
Sadducees ,
who say there is no resurrection ,
came to Jesus
and
questioned
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
. '
“
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 brothers. The first married and died ,
and
having no
seed
left his wife 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.
In
like
manner
the second also,
and the
third, to the seventh.
The same
thing
happened
to
the
second and third brothers
, down
to the seventh.
After
them
all, the woman died.
And
last
of
all, the woman died.
In the resurrection therefore
, whose wife will 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. ”
But
Jesus answered them
, "
You are mistaken ,
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
like God's
angels in heaven.
In the resurrection ,
people
will
neither marry nor be
given in marriage .
Instead
, they
will
be
like the
angels in heaven.
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven't
you read that
which
was
spoken
to 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. ”
When the multitudes
heard it
, they were astonished at his teaching.
When the crowds
heard this
, they were astonished at His teaching.
But
the Pharisees ,
when
they
heard that he
had put
the Sadducees to
silence
, gathered
themselves together.
And
when
the Pharisees heard that Jesus
had silenced
the Sadducees, they
themselves gathered
together.
One of them, a
lawyer
, asked
him a question ,
testing
him.
One of them, an
expert
in
the
law
, tested
Him with
a question :
"
Teacher, which is the greatest commandment
in the law? "
“
Teacher, which commandment
is the greatest in the Law? ”
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. '
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.
A
second likewise
is this,
'You
shall
love your neighbor as yourself. '
And
the
second is like
it:
‘
Love your neighbor as yourself. ’
The whole
law and the prophets depend
on these two commandments. "
All
the Law and the Prophets hang
on these two commandments. ”
Now
while the Pharisees were gathered
together
, Jesus asked
them a
question,
While the Pharisees were assembled
, Jesus questioned
them :
saying,
"
What do you think of
the Christ? Whose son is he? "
They
said
to
him
, "Of
David
. "
“
What do you think about
the Christ? Whose son is He? ”
“David’s
, ”
they
answered
.
He
said to them, "
How then does David in the 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 to my Lord, Sit on
my right hand ,
Until I make
your enemies a
footstool
for
your feet ?'
‘
The Lord said to my Lord, “
Sit at
My right hand until I put
Your enemies under
Your feet .”’
"
If then
David calls him Lord, how is
he his
son? "
So
if David calls Him ‘
Lord, ’
how can
He be
David’s
son? ”
No one was able to answer him
a word, neither
dared
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
.
