Matthew 22:1-22

1And JesusG2424 answeringG611 spokeG3004 to them againG3825 in parablesG3850, sayingG3004,

2The kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 has becomeG3666 like a kingG935 who madeG4160 a weddingG1062 feastG1062 for his sonG5207,

3and sentG649 his bondmen to callG2564 the persons invited to the weddingG1062 feastG1062, and they would not comeG2064.

4AgainG3825 he sentG649 otherG243 bondmen, sayingG3004, SayG3004 to the persons invited, BeholdG2400, I have preparedG2090 my dinnerG712; my oxenG5022 and my fatted beasts are killedG2380, and all thingsG3956 readyG2092; comeG1205 to the weddingG1062 feastG1062.

5But they made light of it, and wentG565, oneG3739 to his ownG2398 landG68, and another to his commerce.

6And the restG3062, laying holdG2902 of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].

7And [when] the kingG935 [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sentG3992 his forces, destroyedG622 those murderersG5406 and burned their cityG4172.

8ThenG5119 he saysG3004 to his bondmen, The weddingG1062 feastG1062 isG1510 readyG2092, but those invited wereG1510 not worthyG514;

9goG4198 thereforeG3767 into the thoroughfares of the highwaysG3598, and as manyG3745 as ye shall findG2147 invite to the weddingG1062 feastG1062.

10And those bondmen wentG1831 out into the highwaysG3598, and brought togetherG4863 all as manyG3745 as they foundG2147, both evilG4190 and goodG18; and the weddingG1062 feastG1062 was furnished with guests.

11And the kingG935, having goneG1525 in to seeG3708 the guests, beheld there a manG444 not clothed with a weddingG1062 garmentG1742.

12And he saysG3004 to him, [My] friendG2083, howG4459 camest thou in hereG5602 not having on a weddingG1062 garmentG1742? But he was speechless.

13Then saidG3004 the kingG935 to the servantsG1249, BindG1210 him feetG4228 and handsG5495, and take him away, and castG1544 him out into the outerG1857 darknessG4655: there shall beG1510 the weepingG2805 and the gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.

14For manyG4183 areG1510 calledG2822 ones, but fewG3641 chosen ones.

15ThenG5119 wentG4198 the PhariseesG5330 and held a council howG3704 they might ensnare him in speaking.

16And they sendG649 out to him their disciplesG3101 with the HerodiansG2265, sayingG3004, TeacherG1320, we know that thou art trueG227 and teachest the wayG3598 of 1GodG2316 in truthG225, and carest not for any oneG3762, for thou regardest not men's person;

17tellG3004 us thereforeG3767 what thou thinkest: Is it lawfulG1832 to giveG1325 tribute to CaesarG2541, or not?

18But JesusG2424, knowingG1097 their wickednessG4189, saidG3004, WhyG5101 temptG3985 ye me, hypocritesG5273?

19Shew me the money of the tribute. And they presented to him a denariusG1220.

20And he saysG3004 to them, Whose [is] this imageG1504 and superscription?

21They sayG3004 to him, Caesar's. Then he saysG3004 to them, PayG591 then what is Caesar's to CaesarG2541, and what is 2God's to 3GodG2316.

22And when they heardG191 [him], they wonderedG2296, and leftG863 him, and wentG565 awayG565.
