Matthew 22
1 Then Iesus answered, and spake vnto them againe in parables, saying,
Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, and said,
2 The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine King which maried his sonne,
The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage-feast for his son,
3 And sent foorth his seruants, to call them that were bidde to the wedding, but they woulde not come.
and sent forth his servants to call to the feast those who had been invited; and they would not come.
4 Againe hee sent foorth other seruants, saying. Tell them which are bidden, Beholde, I haue prepared my dinner: mine oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all thinges are readie: come vnto the mariage.
Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who have been invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come to the feast.
5 But they made light of it, and went their wayes, one to his farme, and another about his marchandise.
But they made light of it, and went away; one to his farm, another to his merchandise.
6 And the remnant tooke his seruants, and intreated them sharpely, and slewe them.
And the rest seized his servants, and ill-treated and slew them.
7 But when the King heard it, he was wroth, and sent foorth his warriers, and destroyed those murtherers, and burnt vp their citie.
And the king was enraged; and sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Then saide hee to his seruants, Truely the wedding is prepared: but they which were bidden, were not worthy.
Then saith he to his servants, The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9 Go ye therefore out into the high wayes, and as many as ye finde, bid them to the mariage.
Go therefore into the thoroughfares, and as many as ye find, invite to the feast.
10 So those seruantes went out into the hie wayes, and gathered together all that euer they found, both good and bad: so the wedding was furnished with ghestes.
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all, as many as they found, both bad and good; and the bride-chamber was fully furnished with guests.
11 Then the King came in, to see the ghestes, and sawe there a man which had not on a wedding garment.
And the king, coming in to view the guests, saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment;
12 And he sayd vnto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, and hast not on a wedding garment? And he was speachlesse.
and he saith to him, Friend, how camest thou in here, not having a wedding garment? And he was struck dumb.
13 Then sayd the King to the seruants, Binde him hand and foote: take him away, and cast him into vtter darkenes: there shalbe weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but fewe chosen.
For many are called, but few are chosen.
15 Then went the Pharises and tooke counsell how they might tangle him in talke.
Then the Pharisees went and consulted together how l they might ensnare him in speech.
16 And they sent vnto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we knowe that thou art true, and teachest the way of God truely, neither carest for any man: for thou considerest not the person of men.
And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and thou carest for no one; for thou regardest not the person of men.
17 Tell vs therefore, how thinkest thou? Is it lawfull to giue tribute vnto Cesar, or not?
Tell us, therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 But Iesus perceiued their wickednes, and sayd, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
But Jesus, perceiving their wickedness, said, Why are ye trying me, hypocrites?
19 Shewe me the tribute money. And they brought him a peny.
Show me the tribute money. And they brought to him a denary.
20 And he sayde vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
And Jesus saith to them, Whose is this image and inscription?
21 They sayd vnto him, Cesars. Then sayd he vnto them, Giue therefore to Cesar, the things which are Cesars, and giue vnto God, those things which are Gods.
They say, Caesar's. Then saith he to them, Render then to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.
22 And when they heard it, they marueiled, and left him, and went their way.
And hearing this, they wondered, and left him, and went away.
23 The same day the Sadduces came to him (which say that there is no resurrection) and asked him,
The same day there came to him Sadducees, saying that there is no resurrection; and they asked him,
24 Saying, Master, Moses sayd, If a man die, hauing no children, his brother shall marie his wife by the right of alliance, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.
saying, Teacher, Moses said, “If a man die having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.”
25 Nowe there were with vs seuen brethren, and the first maried a wife, and deceased: and hauing none yssue, left his wife vnto his brother.
Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first married and died; and, having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.
26 Likewise also the second, and the third, vnto the seuenth.
And so also the second, and the third, even to the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
And last of all the woman died.
28 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seuen? for all had her.
In the resurrection, then, of which of the seven will she be the wife? For they all had her.
29 Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Ye are deceiued, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
Jesus answered and said to them, Ye err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marie wiues, nor wiues are bestowed in mariage, but are as the Angels of God in heauen.
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, haue ye not read what is spoken vuto you of God, saying,
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the liuing.
“I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob”? He is not a God of the dead, but of the living.
33 And when the multitude heard it, they were astonied at his doctrine.
And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 But when the Pharises had heard, that he had put the Sadduces to silence, they assembled together.
And the Pharisees, hearing that he had put the Sadducees to silence, assembled together;
35 And one of them, which was an expounder of the Lawe, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
and one of them, a lawyer, asked, trying him,
36 Master, which is ye great commandement in the Lawe?
Teacher, which commandment is great in the Law?
37 Iesus sayd to him, Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soule, and with all thy minde.
And he said to him, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.”
38 This is the first and the great commandement.
This is the great and first commandment.
39 And the second is like vnto this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
There is a second like it: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”
40 On these two commandements hangeth the whole Lawe, and the Prophets.
On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.
41 While the Pharises were gathered together, Iesus asked them,
And while the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying, What thinke ye of Christ? whose sonne is he? They sayd vnto him, Dauids.
saying, What think ye concerning the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, David's.
43 He sayd vnto them, How then doeth Dauid in spirit call him Lord, saying,
He saith to them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord? saying,
44 The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestoole?
“The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I put thine enemies under thy feet.”
45 If then Dauid call him Lord, howe is he his sonne?
If David then calleth him lord, how is he his son?
46 And none could answere him a worde, neither durst any from that day foorth aske him any moe questions.
And no one was able to answer him a word; nor durst any one from that day question him any more.
