And Jesus responding, again spoke to them in parables, saying,
2 The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,
The kingdom of the heavens is like a king-man, who made a marriage for his son.
3 and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.
And he sent his servants to invite those who had been called to the marriage: and they were not willing to 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.
And again he sent other servants, saying; Speak to those who have been called, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatling are slain, and all things are ready: come to the marriage.

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.
And those servants having gone out into the ways, led in all whom they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.
11 And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment.
And the king having come in to look upon the guests, saw there a man not having on 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.
And he says to him, Comrade, how did you come in hither, not having the wedding-garment? And he was silent.
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.
Then the king said to the servants, Having bound him feet and hands, cast him into the darkness which is without; and there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.

And Jesus knowing their wickedness, said, Why tempt ye me, O ye hypocrites?
19 Shew me the money of the tribute. And they presented to him a denarius.
Show me the tribute money: and they brought Him a denarion.
20 And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?
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 is God's to God.

But there were among us seven brothers: the first marrying died, and having no seed left his wife to his brother.
26 In like manner also the second and the third, unto the seven.
Likewise also, the second, and third, even unto seven.
