Once more Jesus spoke to them in parables.

“The kingdom of heaven,” he said, “may be compared to a king who gave a banquet in honor of his son’s wedding.

He sent his servants to call those who had been invited to the banquet, but they were unwilling to come.
4 ᏔᎵᏁᏃ ᏅᏩᎾᏓᎴ ᏧᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ ᏚᏅᏎᎢ, ᎯᎠ ᏂᏚᏪᏎᎴᎢ; ᎯᎠ ᏫᏂᏗᏥᏪᏏ ᏫᎨᏥᏯᏅᏛ; ᎬᏂᏳᏉ ᎠᏆᏛᏅᎢᏍᏗ ᎠᎵᏍᏓᏴᏗ, ᏗᏆᏤᎵ ᏩᎦ ᎠᎴ ᏗᎦᎵᏦᏔᏅᎯ ᏚᏂᎸ, ᏂᎦᏗᏳᏃ ᎠᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏃᏅᎯ; ᏕᎨᎦᏨᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎢᏥᎷᎩ.
A second time he sent some servants, with orders to say to those who had been invited ‘I have prepared my meal, my cattle and fat beasts are killed and everything is ready; come to the banquet.’
5 ᎠᏎᏃ ᏅᎵᏌᎵᏉ ᏗᎤᏂᏰᎸᏁᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏣᏘᏂᏉ ᏭᏂᎶᏎᎢ, ᎠᏏᏴᏫ ᏧᎶᎨᏒᎢ, ᏐᎢᏃ ᎤᏃᏙᏗᏱ.
They, however, took no notice, but went off, one to their farm, another to their business;
6 ᎠᏂᏐᎢᏃ ᏚᏂᏂᏴᎮ ᏧᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᎬᏩᏂᏐᏢᏔᏁᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏚᏂᎴᎢ.
while the rest, seizing his servants, ill-treated them and killed them.

The king, in anger, sent his troops, put those murderers to death, and set their city on fire.

Then he said to his servants ‘The banquet is prepared, but those who were invited were not worthy.

So go to the cross-roads, and invite everyone you find to the banquet.’

The servants went out into the roads and collected all the people whom they found, whether bad or good; and the bridal-hall was filled with guests.

But, when the king went in to see his guests, he noticed there a man who had not put on a wedding-robe.
12 ᎯᎠᏃ ᏄᏪᏎᎴᎢ; ᎩᎾᎵᎢ, ᎦᏙᏃ ᎠᏂ ᎥᎯᏴᎵᎦ ᏂᏣᏄᏩᎥᎾ ᎢᎩ ᏕᎨᎦᏨᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎠᏄᏬᏍᏗ? ᎡᎳᏪᏱᏉᏃ ᎨᏎᎢ.
So he said to him ‘My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding-robe?’ The man was speechless.

Then the king said to the attendants ‘Tie him hand and foot, and put him out into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.’
14 ᎤᏂᏣᏘᏰᏃ ᎨᏥᏯᏅᏛ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎠᏂᎩᏲᎵᏳ ᎨᎦᏑᏰᏛ.
For many are called, but few chosen.”
15 ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᎠᏂᏆᎵᏏ ᎤᏁᏅᏒᎩ ᏭᏂᏃᎮᎸᎩ ᎢᏳᎾᏛᏁᏗᏱ ᎤᏂᏌᏛᏗᏱ ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎬᎢ.
Then the Pharisees went away and conferred together as to how they might lay a trap for Jesus in the course of conversation.
16 ᏚᏂᏅᏒᎩᏃ ᏤᏙᎲ ᎬᏩᏂᏍᏓᏩᏗᏙᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎡᎶᏛ ᎬᏩᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ, ᎯᎠ ᏄᏂᏪᏒᎩ; ᏔᏕᏲᎲᏍᎩ, ᎣᏥᎦᏔᎭ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎩᏯ ᎨᏒ ᏂᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᏕᎭᏕᏲᎲᏍᎬᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᏴᏫ ᏱᏘᎾᏰᏍᎦ, ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏄᎾᏍᏛᏉ ᏴᏫ ᏱᏘᎸᏉᏙᎢ.
They sent their disciples, with the Herodians, to say to him, “Teacher, we know that you are an honest person, and that you teach the way of God honestly, and are not afraid of anyone; for you pay no regard to a person’s position.
17 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏍᎩᏃᎲᏏ, ᎦᏙ ᎮᎵᎭ? ᏥᏌ ᏚᏳᎪᏗ ᏏᏌ ᎠᎫᏴᎡᏗᏱ ᎠᏰᎵ ᎠᎫᏴᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᏝᎨ?
Tell us, then, what you think. Are we right in paying taxes to the Emperor, or not?”

Perceiving their malice, Jesus answered, “Why are you testing me, you hypocrites?
19 ᏥᎪᏩᏛ ᎠᏕᎸ ᎠᏰᎵ ᎠᎫᏴᏙᏗ. ᎠᎩᏏᏃ ᏧᎬᏩᎶᏗ ᎬᏩᏲᎮᎸᎩ.
Show me the coin with which the tax is paid.” And, when they had brought him a coin,
20 ᎯᎠᏃ ᏂᏚᏪᎭᎸᎩ; ᎦᎪ ᎯᎠ ᏓᎦᏟᎶᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᎪ ᎠᏥᏃᎮᎭ ᎯᎠ ᏥᎪᏪᎳ?
he asked, “Whose head and title are these?”

“The Emperor’s,” they answered, at which he said to them, “Then pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.”
22 ᎤᎾᏛᎦᏅᏃ ᎤᏂᏍᏆᏂᎪᏒᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᎡᎸᎩ.
They wondered at his answer, and left him alone and went away.
23 ᎾᎯᏳ ᎢᎦ ᎠᏂᏌᏚᏏ ᏗᎴᎯᏐᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎾᏜᏓᏏᏛᎡᎯ ᎬᏩᎷᏤᎸᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎬᏩᏛᏛᏅᎩ,
That same day some Sadducees came up to Jesus, maintaining that there is no resurrection. Their question was this, –
24 ᎯᎠ ᏄᏂᏪᏒᎩ; ᏔᏕᏲᎲᏍᎩ, ᎼᏏ ᎤᏁᏤ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏎᎢ; ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ ᎠᏲᎱᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏧᏪᏥ ᎾᏁᎲᎾ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᏗᎾᏓᏅᏟ ᎠᏓᏰᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᏓᏴᏛ, ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᏓᏛᎯᏍᏓᏁᎮᏍᏗ ᏗᏂᏲᎵ ᏗᎾᏓᏅᏟ.
“Teacher, Moses said – ‘should a man die without children, the man’s brother will become the husband of the widow, and raise a family for his brother.’
25 ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎠᏴ ᎣᏤᎲ ᎠᏁᎲᎩ ᎦᎵᏉᎩ ᎢᏯᏂᏛ ᎠᎾᏓᏅᏟ; ᎤᏓᏂᎵᎨᏃ ᎤᏕᏒᏅ ᎤᏲᎱᏒᏉ, ᏧᏪᏥᏃ ᎾᏁᎲᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏓᎵᎢ ᎤᏪᎪᏓᏁᎸ ᎤᏅᏟ.
Now we had living among us seven brothers; of whom the eldest married and died, and, as he had no family, left his wife for his brother.
26 ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏔᎵᏁᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏦᎢᏁᎢ, ᎦᎵᏉᎩᏁ ᏫᎬᏗᏍᎩ.
The same thing happened to the second and the third brothers, and indeed to all the seven.
27 ᎤᎵᏍᏆᎸᏗᏃ ᎠᎨᏴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎤᏲᎱᏒᎩ.
The woman herself died last of all.
28 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎿᎭᏉ ᏧᏂᏲᎱᏒᎯ ᏓᎾᎴᎯᏌᏅᎭ, ᎦᎪ ᎤᏓᎵᎢ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᎵᏉᎩ ᎢᏯᏂᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ?
At the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be out of the seven, all of them having been married to her?”

“Your mistake,” replied Jesus, “is due to your ignorance of the scriptures, and of the power of God.

For at the resurrection there is no marrying or being married, but all who rise are as angels in heaven.

As to the resurrection of the dead, have you not read these words of God –
32 ᎠᏴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎡᏆᎭᎻ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎡᏏᎩ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏤᎦᏈ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ. ᎥᏝ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏧᏂᏲᎱᏒᎯ ᎤᎾᏤᎵ ᏱᎩ, ᏗᏅᏃᏛᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏅᏒ.
‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of dead people, but of living.”
33 ᎤᏂᏣᏘᏃ ᎤᎾᏛᎦᏅ ᎤᏂᏍᏆᏂᎪᏒᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᏓᏕᏲᎲᏍᎬᎢ.
The crowds, who had been listening to him, were greatly struck with his teaching.
34 ᎠᏂᏆᎵᏏᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᎾᏛᎦᏅ ᎡᎳᏪᏱ ᏚᏩᏅ ᎠᏂᏌᏚᏏ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏚᏂᎳᏫᏨᎩ.
When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they collected together.
35 ᎠᏏᏴᏫᏃ ᎾᎿᎭᎤᏓᏑᏴᎩ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᏗᎪᏏᏏᏍᎩ, ᎤᏛᏛᏅᎩ ᎤᏌᏛᎥᏍᎬᎢ, ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏒᎩ;
Then one of them, a Student of the Law, to test him, asked this question –
36 ᏔᏕᏲᎲᏍᎩ, ᎦᏙ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎤᏟ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎤᎵᏁᏨ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ?
“Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 ᏥᏌᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᏱᎰᏩ ᏣᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎯᎨᏳᏎᏍᏗ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏣᎾᏫ ᎲᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏣᏓᏅᏙ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏣᏓᏅᏖᏗᏱ.
His answer was, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
38 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᎢᎬᏱᏱ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎦᎸᏉᏗ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ.
This is the great first commandment.
39 ᏔᎵᏁᏃ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᏉ ᎾᏍᏉ; ᏨᏒ ᏥᏂᏣᏓᎨᏳᏒ ᏂᎨᏳᏎᏍᏗ ᎾᎥ ᎢᏗᏍᏓᏓᎳ.
The second, which is like it, is this – You must love your neighbor as you love yourself.
40 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏔᎵ ᏄᎵᏁᏨ ᏚᎵᏍᏓᏱᏗᏍᏗ ᏂᎦᏗᏳ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎾᏙᎴᎰᏒᎢ.
On these two commandments hang all the Law and the prophets.”
41 ᎠᏏᏉ ᏓᏂᎳᏫᎥ ᎠᏂᏆᎵᏏ, ᏥᏌ ᏚᏛᏛᏅᎩ,
Before the Pharisees separated, Jesus put this question to them –
42 ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏒᎩ; ᎦᏙ ᎢᏤᎵ ᎡᏣᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ, ᎦᎪ ᎤᏪᏥ? ᏕᏫ, ᎥᎬᏬᏎᎸᎩ.
“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” “David’s,” they said.
43 ᎯᎠ ᏂᏚᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᎦᏙᏃ ᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ, ᏕᏫ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᏪᏲᎲᏍᎬᎢ, ᏣᎬᏫᏳᎯ, ᏥᎪᏎᎭ? ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᎦᏪᎭ;
“How is it, then,” Jesus replied, “that David, speaking under inspiration, calls him ‘lord,’ in the passage –
44 ᏱᎰᏩ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏎᎸᎩ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎠᏆᏤᎵᎦ; ᏥᎦᏘᏏ ᎢᏗᏢ ᏦᎴᏍᏗ, ᎬᏂ ᎨᏣᏍᎦᎩ ᏗᏣᎳᏏᏗᏱ ᎦᏍᎩᎶ ᏂᎦᏥᏴᏁᎸᎭ;
‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies beneath your feet’?
45 ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᏕᏫ, ᏣᎬᏫᏳᎯ, ᏱᎪᏎᎭ, ᎦᏙ ᏱᎦᎵᏍᏙᏓ ᎤᏪᏥ ᏱᎩ?
Since, then, David calls him ‘lord,’ how is he David’s son?”

No one could say a word in answer; nor did anyone after that day venture to question him further.
