Matthew 22
- 1 Again Jesus spoke to them in figurative language.
- 2 "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "may be compared to a king who celebrated the marriage of his son,
- 3 and sent his servants to call the invited guests to the wedding, but they were unwilling to come.
- 4 "Again he sent other servants with a message to those who were invited. "`My breakfast is now ready," he said, `my bullocks and fat cattle are killed, and every preparation is made: come to the wedding.'
- 5 "They however gave no heed, but went, one to his home in the country, another to his business;
- 6 and the rest seized the king's servants, maltreated them, and murdered them.
- 7 So the king's anger was stirred, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burnt their city.
- 8 Then he said to his servants, "`The wedding banquet is ready, but those who were invited were unworthy of it.
- 9 Go out therefore to the crossroads, and everybody you meet invite to the wedding.'
- 10 "So they went out into the roads and gathered together all they could find, both bad and good, and the banqueting hall was filled with guests.
- 11 "Now the king came in to see the guests; and among them he discovered one who was not wearing a wedding-robe.
- 12 "`My friend,' he said, `how is it that you came in here without a wedding robe?'
- 13 "The man stood speechless. Then the king said to the servants, "`Bind him hand and foot and fling him into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.'
- 14 "For there are many called, but few chosen."
- 15 Then the Pharisees went and consulted together how they might entrap Him in His conversation.
- 16 So they sent to Him their disciples together with the Herodians; who said, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and that you faithfully teach God's truth; and that no fear of man misleads you, for you are not biased by men's wealth or rank.
- 17 Give us your judgement therefore: is it allowable for us to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?"
- 18 Perceiving their wickedness, Jesus replied, "Why are you hypocrites trying to ensnare me?
- 19 Show me the tribute coin." And they brought Him a shilling.
- 20 "Whose likeness and inscription," He asked, "is this?"
- 21 "Caesar's," they replied. "Pay therefore," He rejoined, "what is Caesar's to Caesar; and what is God's to God."
- 22 They heard this, and were astonished; then left Him, and went their way.
- 23 On the same day a party of Sadducees came to Him, contending that there is no resurrection. And they put this case to Him.
-
24 "Teacher," they said, "Moses enjoined,
`If a man die childless, his brother shall marry his widow, and raise up a family for him.' - 25 Now we had among us seven brothers. The eldest of them married, but died childless, leaving his wife to his brother.
- 26 So also did the second and the third, down to the seventh,
- 27 till the woman also died, after surviving them all.
- 28 At the Resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? for they all married her."
- 29 The reply of Jesus was, "You are in error, through ignorance of the Scriptures and of the power of God.
- 30 For in the Resurrection, men neither marry nor are women given in marriage, but they are like angels in Heaven.
- 31 But as to the Resurrection of the dead, have you never read what God says to you,
-
32
`I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead, but of living men." - 33 All the crowd heard this, and were filled with amazement at His teaching.
- 34 Now the Pharisees came up when they heard that He had silenced the Sadducees,
- 35 and one of them, an expounder of the Law, asked Him as a test question,
- 36 "Teacher, which is the greatest Commandment in the Law?"
-
37
"`Thou shalt love the Lord thy God,'" He answered, "`with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole mind.' - 38 This is the greatest and foremost Commandment.
-
39 And the second is similar to it:
`Thou shalt love thy fellow man as much as thyself.' - 40 The whole of the Law and the Prophets is summed up in these two Commandments."
- 41 While the Pharisees were still assembled there, Jesus put a question to them.
- 42 "What think you about the Christ," He said, "whose son is He?" "David's," they replied.
- 43 "How then," He asked, "does David, taught by the Spirit, call Him Lord, when he says,
-
44
"`The Lord said to my Lord, sit at My right hand until I have put thy foes beneath thy feet'? - 45 "If therefore David calls Him Lord, how can He be his son?"
- 46 No one could say a word in reply, nor from that day did any one venture again to put a question to Him.
