¹ And Jesus answering spoke to them again in parables, saying,

² The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,

³ and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.

⁴ Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.

⁵ But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.

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

⁷ And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

⁸ Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;

⁹ go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast.

¹⁰ And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests.

¹¹ And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment.

¹² And he says to him, [My] friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But he was speechless.

¹³ Then said the king to the servants, Bind him feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

¹⁴ For many are called ones, but few chosen ones.

¹⁵ Then went the Pharisees and held a council how they might ensnare him in speaking.

¹⁶ And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true and teachest the way of¹ God in truth, and carest not for any one, for thou regardest not men's person;

1. 22.16 Elohim

¹⁷ tell us therefore what thou thinkest: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

¹⁸ But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites?

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

²⁰ And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?

²¹ They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Pay then what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is¹ God's to² God.

1. 22.21 Elohim
2. 22.21 Elohim

²² And when they heard [him], they wondered, and left him, and went away.

²³ On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him,

²⁴ saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife and shall raise up seed to his brother.

²⁵ Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to his brother.

²⁶ In like manner also the second and the third, unto the seven.

²⁷ And last of all the woman also died.

²⁸ In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven shall she be wife, for all had her?

²⁹ And Jesus answering said to them, Ye err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of¹ God.

1. 22.29 Elohim

³⁰ For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels of¹ God in heaven.

1. 22.30 Elohim

³¹ But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you by¹ God, saying,

1. 22.31 Elohim

³² I am the¹ God of Abraham, and the² God of Isaac, and the³ God of Jacob?⁴God is not⁵ God of [the] dead, but of [the] living.

1. 22.32 Elohim
2. 22.32 Elohim
3. 22.32 Elohim
4. 22.32 Elohim
5. 22.32 Elohim

³³ And when the crowds heard [it] they were astonished at his doctrine.

³⁴ But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together.

³⁵ And one of them, a lawyer, demanded, tempting him, and saying,

³⁶ Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?

³⁷ And he said to him, Thou shalt love [the] Lord thy¹ God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy understanding.

1. 22.37 Elohim

³⁸ This is [the] great and first commandment.

³⁹ And [the] second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

⁴⁰ On these two commandments the whole law and the prophets hang.

⁴¹ And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus demanded of them,

⁴² saying, What think ye concerning the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, David's.

⁴³ He says to them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,

⁴⁴ The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies under thy feet?

⁴⁵ If therefore David call him Lord, how is he his son?

⁴⁶ And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did any one dare from that day to question him any more.
