Matthew 22
1 Then Iesus answered, and spake vnto them againe in parables, saying,
And, answering, Jesus, again, spake in parables unto them, saying: —
2 The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine King which maried his sonne,
The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man, a 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 his servants, to call the invited into the marriage-feast, —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, sent he other servants, saying—Say to the invited, Lo! my dinner, have I prepared, mine oxen and my fatlings, are slain, —and, all things, are, ready: Come ye into the marriage-feast.
5 But they made light of it, and went their wayes, one to his farme, and another about his marchandise.
And, they, slighting it, went off, one, indeed, into his own field, and, another, unto his merchandise, —
6 And the remnant tooke his seruants, and intreated them sharpely, and slewe them.
And, the rest, securing his servants, 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 provoked to anger, —and, sending his armies, destroyed those murderers, and, their city, set on fire.
8 Then saide hee to his seruants, Truely the wedding is prepared: but they which were bidden, were not worthy.
Then, saith he unto his servants—The marriage, indeed, is ready, —but, the invited, were not, worthy;
9 Go ye therefore out into the high wayes, and as many as ye finde, bid them to the mariage.
Be going, therefore, into the crossways of the roads, and, as many as ye shall find, call ye into the marriage-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.
And those servants, going forth, into the roads, gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good, —and filled was the bride-chamber with guests.
11 Then the King came in, to see the ghestes, and sawe there a man which had not on a wedding garment.
But the king, entering to view the guests, saw there a man, who had not put 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 saith unto him—Friend! how camest thou in here, not having a wedding-garment? And, he, was put to silence.
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 unto the ministers, Binding him feet and hands, cast him forth into the darkness, outside: There, shall be wafting and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but fewe chosen.
For, many, are called, but, few, chosen.
15 Then went the Pharises and tooke counsell how they might tangle him in talke.
Then, went the Pharisees and took, counsel, that they might ensnare him, in discourse.
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 sent forth to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher! we know that, true, thou art, and, the way of God, in truth, dost teach, and it concerneth thee not about anyone, —for thou lookest not unto the face of men:
17 Tell vs therefore, how thinkest thou? Is it lawfull to giue tribute vnto Cesar, or not?
Tell us then, how, to thee, it seemeth? Is it allowable to give tax unto Caesar, or not?
18 But Iesus perceiued their wickednes, and sayd, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
But Jesus, taking note of their wickedness, said—Why are ye tempting me, hypocrites?
19 Shewe me the tribute money. And they brought him a peny.
Shew me the coin appointed for the tax. And, they, brought unto him a denary.
20 And he sayde vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
And he saith unto them—Whose, is this image and the 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 unto them—Render, therefore, the things of Caesar, unto Caesar, —and, the things of God, unto God.
22 And when they heard it, they marueiled, and left him, and went their way.
And, hearing, they marvelled, —and, leaving him, departed.
23 The same day the Sadduces came to him (which say that there is no resurrection) and asked him,
On that day, there came unto him Sadducees, who say, there is, no resurrection—and they questioned 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 any man die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto 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 brethren; and, the first, marrying, died, and not having seed, left his wife unto his brother.
26 Likewise also the second, and the third, vnto the seuenth.
Likewise, the second also, and the third, —unto the seven.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
And, last of all, died, the wife.
28 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seuen? for all had her.
In the resurrection, therefore, —Of which of the seven, shall she be wife? For, all, had her.
29 Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Ye are deceiued, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
And Jesus answering, said—Ye are deceiving yourselves, knowing neither the Scriptures, nor yet 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, as messengers in the heaven, are they.
31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, haue ye not read what is spoken vuto you of God, saying,
But, as touching the resurrection of the dead—Have ye not read what was spoken unto 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 God, of the dead, but, of the living.
33 And when the multitude heard it, they were astonied at his doctrine.
And, the multitudes, hearing, were being struck with astonishment at his teaching.
34 But when the Pharises had heard, that he had put the Sadduces to silence, they assembled together.
Now, the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, were brought together with one accord;
35 And one of them, which was an expounder of the Lawe, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
and one from among them, a lawyer, proposed a question, putting him to the test:
36 Master, which is ye great commandement in the Lawe?
Teacher! which commandment, is greatest 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 unto 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.
The second, like it, is, this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandements hangeth the whole Lawe, and the Prophets.
In these two commandments, all the law, is contained, and the prophets.
41 While the Pharises were gathered together, Iesus asked them,
Now, the Pharisees having come together, Jesus questioned them, saying—
42 Saying, What thinke ye of Christ? whose sonne is he? They sayd vnto him, Dauids.
How, to you, doth it seem, concerning the Christ? Whose son, is he? They say unto him—David’s.
43 He sayd vnto them, How then doeth Dauid in spirit call him Lord, saying,
He saith unto them—How then doth, David, in 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, hath said unto, my Lord, —Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool?
45 If then Dauid call him Lord, howe is he his sonne?
If then, David, 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, neither durst anyone, from that day, question him, any more.
