Matthew 22
1 Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:
AND Jeshu answered again by comparisons, and said,
2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
The kingdom of heaven resembles a royal person who made a feast to his son;
3 He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
and he sent his servants to call the invited ones to the feast, but they were not willing to come.
4 Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
And again he sent other servants, and said, Tell the invited ones, Behold, my dinner is prepared, my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come to the feast.
5 But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.
But they despised (it), and went, one to his domain, and another to his business.
6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
But the rest took his servants and shamefully treated and killed (them).
7 The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.
But when the king heard, he was wroth; and sent his forces and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.
Then said he to his servants, The feast is prepared, and those who were invited were not worthy.
9 Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
Go therefore into the outlets of the highways, and every one whom you find call to the feast.
10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
And those servants went forth into the highways, and assembled all whom they found, the bad and the good; and the place of feasting was filled with guests,
11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
And the king entered to see the guests, and he saw there a man who was not dressed in the garments of a festival.
12 ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
And he said to him, My friend, how didst thou enter here, when thou hast not the vestments of the feast? But he was silent.
13 Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Then said the king unto the servitors, Bind his hands and his feet, and cast him forth into the darknesses without: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”
For many are the called, but few the chosen.
15 Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
THEN went the Pharishee and took counsel how they might ensnare him in discourse.
16 They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.
And they sent to him their disciples with (certain) of the household of Herodes, saying to him, Doctor, we know that thou art resolutely true, and (that) the way of Aloha in truth thou teachest; neither carriest thou fear for man, for thou acceptest not the person of men.
17 So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
Tell us then, how doth it appear to thee? is it lawful to give head-money unto Cesar or not?
18 But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?
But Jeshu knew their malice, and said, Why do you tempt me, you hypocrites?
19 Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
Show me the denarius of the head-silver. And they presented to him a denarius.
20 “Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”
And Jeshu said to them, Whose are this image and inscription?
21 “Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
They say, Cesar's. He saith to them, Give then (the things) of Cesar unto Cesar, and (the things) of Aloha unto Aloha.
22 And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
And when they heard, they wondered, and left him, and went.
23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.
IN that (same) day came the Zadukoyee, affirming to him, (that) there is no life for the dead. And they questioned him,
24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
saying to him, Doctor, Musha has said to us that if a man die having no children, his brother shall take his wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.
But there were with us seven brethren: the eldest (of whom) took a wife, and died. And because he had no children, he left his wife unto his brother.
26 The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.
So also did he who was second, and he who was the third, and unto the seventh of them.
27 And last of all, the woman died.
But the last of all the woman also is dead.
28 In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”
In the resurrection, therefore, of whom from these seven shall she be the wife? for all had taken her.
29 Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
Jeshu answered and said to them, You do err, because you understand not the scriptures nor the power of Aloha.
30 In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
For in the resurrection of the dead, they take not wives, neither are wives to husbands; but as the angels of Aloha in heaven are they.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which has been spoken to you by Aloha, who said,
32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
I am the God of Abraham, the God of Is'hok, the God of Jakub? But Aloha is not of those who are dead, but of those who are alive.
33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
And when the multitudes heard, they were wonder-struck at his doctrine.
34 And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.
BUT when the Pharishee heard that he had silenced the Zadukoyee, they gathered together.
35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:
And one from them, who was skilful in the law, questioned him, tempting him,
36 “Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”
Doctor, which commandment is greatest in the law?
37 Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
Jeshu said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy Aloha with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
This is the commandment, the great and the first.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
And the second is like unto it, That thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
On these two commandments hang the law and the prophets.
41 While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:
while the Pharishee were gathered together, Jeshu questioned them,
42 “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
and said, What say you concerning the Meshicha, -whose son? They say to him, Son of David.
43 Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:
Saith he to them, And how doth David in spirit call him THE LORD? For he said,
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
that the Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I put thine adversaries beneath thy feet.
45 So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”
If, then, David calleth him the Lord, how is he his son?
46 No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
And no man could give to him the answer; nor did any man dare again from that day to question him.
