Matthew 22

1And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and spake againG3825 in parablesG3850 unto them, sayingG3004, 2The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is likened unto a certain kingG935, who madeG4160 a marriageG1062 feastG1062 for his sonG5207, 3and sentG649 forthG649 his servantsG1401 to callG2564 them that were bidden to the marriageG1062 feastG1062: and they would not comeG2064. 4AgainG3825 he sentG649 forthG649 otherG243 servantsG1401, sayingG3004, TellG3004 them that are bidden, BeholdG2400, I have madeG2090 readyG2092 my dinnerG712; my oxenG5022 and my fatlings are killedG2380, and all thingsG3956 are readyG2092: comeG1205 to the marriageG1062 feastG1062. 5But they made light of it, and wentG565 their ways, oneG3739 to his ownG2398 farm, another to his merchandise; 6and the restG3062 laidG2902 holdG2902 on his servantsG1401, and treated them shamefully, and killedG615 them. 7But the kingG935 was wroth; and he sentG3992 his armiesG4753, and destroyedG622 those murderersG5406, and burned their cityG4172. 8ThenG5119 saith he to his servantsG1401, The weddingG1062 isG1510 readyG2092, but they that wereG1510 bidden wereG1510 not worthyG514. 9GoG4198 ye thereforeG3767 unto the partings of the highwaysG3598, and as manyG3745 as ye shall findG2147, bid to the marriageG1062 feastG1062. 10And those servantsG1401 wentG1831 out into the highwaysG3598, and gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 all as manyG3745 as they foundG2147, both badG4190 and goodG18: and the weddingG1062 was filledG4130 with guests. 11But when the kingG935 cameG1525 in to behold the guests, he sawG3708 there a manG444 who had not on a wedding-garment: 12and he saith unto him, FriendG2083, howG4459 camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless. 13Then the kingG935 saidG3004 to the servantsG1249, BindG1210 him handG5495 and footG4228, and castG1544 him out into the outerG1857 darknessG4655; there shall beG1510 the weepingG2805 and the gnashingG1030 of teethG3599. 14For manyG4183 areG1510 calledG2822, but fewG3641 chosen.

15ThenG5119 wentG4198 the PhariseesG5330, and tookG2983 counsel howG3704 they might ensnare him in his talkG3056. 16And they sendG649 to him their disciplesG3101, with the HerodiansG2265, sayingG3004, TeacherG1320, we know that thou art trueG227, and teachest the wayG3598 of GodG2316 in truthG225, and carest not for any oneG3762: for thou regardest not the person of menG444. 17TellG3004 us thereforeG3767, What thinkest thou? Is it lawfulG1832 to giveG1325 tribute unto Cæsar, or not? 18But JesusG2424 perceived their wickednessG4189, and saidG3004, WhyG5101 make ye trial of me, ye hypocritesG5273? 19ShowG1925 me the tribute money. And they broughtG4374 unto him a denariusG1220. 20And he saith unto them, Whose is this imageG1504 and superscription? 21They sayG3004 unto him, Cæsar’s. Then saith he unto them, RenderG591 thereforeG3767 unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s; and unto GodG2316 the things that are God’s. 22And when they heardG191 it, they marvelled, and leftG863 him, and wentG565 awayG565.

23On that dayG2250 there cameG4334 to him SadduceesG4523, they that sayG3004 that there isG1510 no resurrectionG386: and they askedG1905 him, 24sayingG3004, TeacherG1320, MosesG3475 saidG3004, If a man dieG599, having no childrenG5043, his brotherG80 shall marry his wifeG1135, and raiseG450 up seedG4690 unto his brotherG80. 25NowG1161 there wereG1510 with us sevenG2033 brethren: and the firstG4413 marriedG1060 and deceased, and having no seedG4690 leftG863 his wifeG1135 unto his brotherG80; 26in like manner the secondG1208 alsoG2532, and the thirdG5154, unto the seventh. 27And after them all, the womanG1135 diedG599. 28In the resurrectionG386 thereforeG3767 whose wifeG1135 shall she beG1510 of the sevenG2033? for they all had her. 29But JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scripturesG1124, nor the powerG1411 of GodG2316. 30For in the resurrectionG386 they neither marryG1060, nor areG1510 given in marriage, but areG1510 as angelsG32 in heavenG3772. 31But as touching the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, have ye not readG314 that which was spoken unto you by GodG2316, sayingG3004, 32I amG1510 the GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, and the GodG2316 of IsaacG2464, and the GodG2316 of JacobG2384? GodG2316 isG1510 not the GodG2316 of the deadG3498, but of the livingG2198. 33And when the multitudesG3793 heardG191 it, they were astonishedG1605 at his teachingG1322.

34But the PhariseesG5330, when they heardG191 that he had put the SadduceesG4523 to silence, gatheredG4863 themselves togetherG4863. 35And oneG1520 of them, a lawyerG3544, askedG1905 him a questionG1905, trying him: 36TeacherG1320, which is the greatG3173 commandmentG1785 in the lawG3551? 37And he saidG5346 unto him, Thou shalt loveG25 the LordG2962 thy GodG2316 with all thy heartG2588, and with all thy soulG5590, and with all thy mindG1271. 38This isG1510 the greatG3173 and firstG4413 commandmentG1785. 39And a secondG1208 like unto it is this, Thou shalt loveG25 thy neighbor as thyself. 40On these twoG1417 commandmentsG1785 the wholeG3650 lawG3551 hangeth, and the prophetsG4396.

41NowG1161 while the PhariseesG5330 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863, JesusG2424 askedG1905 them a questionG1905, 42sayingG3004, What thinkG1380 ye of the ChristG5547? whose sonG5207 isG1510 he? They sayG3004 unto him, The sonG5207 of DavidG1138. 43He saith unto them, HowG4459 thenG3767 doth DavidG1138 in the SpiritG4151 callG2564 him LordG2962, sayingG3004,

45If DavidG1138 thenG3767 calleth him LordG2962, howG4459 isG1510 he his sonG5207? 46And no oneG3762 was ableG1410 to answerG611 him a wordG3056, neither durst any man from that dayG2250 forth askG1905 him any more questionsG1905.
