Berean Standard Bible
And
Jesus
answering,
again spake
to them in similes,
saying,
Once
again ,
Jesus
spoke
to them in parables:
`
The reign
of the
heavens
was
likened
to
a
man,
a king ,
who made
marriage-feasts
for his son ,
“
The kingdom
of heaven
is
like
a king who prepared
a
wedding
banquet
for his son .
and
he sent forth
his servants to call those having
been
called
to the marriage-feasts
, and
they were
not
willing
to 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
, 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;
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.’
and
they ,
having
disregarded
`it',
went away, the
one to his own
field, and
the
other
to his merchandise;
But
they paid
no
attention
and
went away, one to his field, another
to his business.
and
the rest ,
having
laid
hold
on
his servants, did
insult
and slay
`
them '
.
The rest seized
his servants, mistreated
them,
and killed
them.
`And
the king having
heard,
was wroth
, and having
sent forth
his soldiers,
he
destroyed
those murderers ,
and their city he
set
on
fire;
The king was enraged
, and he
sent his troops
to
destroy
those murderers and burn
their city .
then saith
he to his servants, The marriage-feast
indeed
is ready, and
those called
were not worthy ,
Then he said
to his servants, ‘
The wedding
banquet
is ready, but
those I
invited
were not worthy .
be
going,
then,
on
to the cross-ways,
and as many as ye
may
find ,
call
ye
to
the
marriage-feasts
.
Go
therefore
to the crossroads
and invite
to
the
banquet
as many as you
can
find. ’
`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
.
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
the king having
come
in to view
those
reclining
, saw
there
a man not clothed
with
clothing
of
the
marriage-feast,
But
when
the king came
in to see
the
guests
, he
spotted
a man who
was
not dressed
in
wedding
clothes.
and
he
saith
to
him
, Comrade
, how didst
thou
come
in hither,
not
having
clothing
of
the
marriage-feast
? 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 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 ;
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, and
few chosen. '
For many are called, but
few are
chosen. ”
Then the Pharisees having
gone,
took
counsel
how
they
might
ensnare
him
in words ,
Then the Pharisees went
out
and
conspired
to
trap
Jesus
in His
words .
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;
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 dost
thou
think ?
is it lawful to give
tribute
to Caesar or not? '
So
tell us what You
think :
Is it lawful to pay
taxes
to Caesar or not? ”
And
Jesus having
known
their wickedness,
said, `
Why me do
ye
tempt,
hypocrites
?
But
Jesus knew
their evil
intent
and
said, “You
hypocrites,
why are
you
testing
Me?
show me the tribute-
coin ?'
and they brought to
him a denary;
Show Me the coin used
for
the
tax.”
And they brought Him a denarius.
and
he
saith
to
them,
`
Whose `
is '
this image
and the
inscription? '
“
Whose image
is this ,”
He
asked,
“
and whose
inscription? ”
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 ;'
“Caesar’s
, ”
they
answered.
So
Jesus
told
them, “Give
to Caesar what
is
Caesar’s
, and to God what
is
God’s.”
and having
heard
they wondered
, and
having
left him they
went away.
And when
they heard
this
, they
were
amazed.
So
they
left Him and
went away.
In
that day there
came
near
to
him
Sadducees, who are
saying
there is not
a
rising
again
, and they
questioned him ,
saying,
That same
day the
Sadducees, who say
there is no
resurrection
, came
to
Jesus
and questioned 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
.
“
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
.
`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 ;
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
also
the second ,
and the
third, unto
the seventh ,
The same
thing
happened
to
the
second and third brothers
, down
to
the seventh .
and last of all died
also
the woman ;
And last of all ,
the woman died.
therefore
in the rising
again
, of
which
of the seven shall
she
be
wife
--
for all had
her ?'
In the resurrection
, then,
whose
wife
will
she
be
of the seven ?
For all of
them
were
married
to
her .”
And
Jesus answering
said
to
them,
`Ye
go
astray
, not knowing
the Writings,
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 rising
again
they
do
not
marry
, nor are
they
given in marriage, but
are
as
messengers
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.
`And
concerning the rising
again
of the dead, did
ye
not 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 a
God of dead men
, but of 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
having
heard, the
multitudes
were astonished at his teaching ;
When
the
crowds
heard this
, they
were astonished at His teaching .
and the Pharisees ,
having
heard that he
did
silence
the Sadducees, were
gathered together unto
him;
And when
the Pharisees heard that Jesus
had
silenced
the Sadducees, they
themselves
gathered together .
and
one of them, a
lawyer,
did
question
, tempting
him ,
and
saying,
One of them, an
expert
in
the
law
, tested
Him with
a
question:
`
Teacher, which `
is '
the great
command
in the Law? '
“
Teacher, which commandment
is the greatest
in the Law? ”
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
--
Jesus declared
, “‘
Love the Lord your
God with all your
heart and with all your
soul and with all your
mind.’
this is a
first and great
command;
This is the
first and greatest
commandment.
and the second `
is '
like to
it ,
Thou
shalt
love thy
neighbor as thyself;
And the second is like it :
‘
Love your
neighbor as yourself.’
on
these
--
the
two
commands
--
all the law and the prophets do
hang. '
All the Law and the Prophets hang on
these
two
commandments
. ”
And
the Pharisees having
been
gathered
together
, Jesus did
question
them ,
While
the Pharisees were
assembled
, Jesus questioned
them :
saying,
`
What do ye
think concerning
the Christ? of
whom
is he son
? '
They
say
to
him
, `Of
David
. '
“
What do you
think about
the Christ? Whose
son
is He? ”
“David’s
, ”
they
answered
.
He
saith
to them, `
How then doth
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 at my right hand ,
till
I may
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 then
David doth
call
him lord, how is
he his
son? '
So
if David calls
Him ‘
Lord, ’
how can
He be
David’s
son? ”
And
no one was able to answer him
a word, nor
durst
any
from that day question him any more
.
No one was able to answer a word, and
from that day on
no
one
dared
to
question Him any further
.
