Matthew 22
1 AND Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
Yeshua answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
"The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.
4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
Again he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "Look, I have made ready my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage feast."'
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,
6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
The king was enraged, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
"Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren't worthy.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.'
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all they found, both bad and good, and the wedding was filled with those reclining.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on wedding clothing,
12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.'
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
For many are called, but few chosen."
15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
They sent their talmidim to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you are not partial to anyone.
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?
Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
But Yeshua perceived their wickedness, and said, "Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
Show me the tax money." They brought to him a denarius.
20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
He asked them, "Whose is this image and inscription?"
21 They say unto him, Cæsar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
They said to him, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
When they heard it, they were astonished, and left him, and went away.
23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
On that day Sadducees came to him, the ones saying that there is no resurrection. And they asked him,
24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies, having no children, his brother is to marry his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.'
25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.
26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
In like manner the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
After them all, the woman died.
28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her."
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
But Yeshua answered them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven.
31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you 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 Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?' God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
When the crowds heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
One of them, a Law scholar, asked him a question, testing him.
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?"
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
He said to him, "'You are to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
38 This is the first and great commandment.
This is the great and first commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
A second likewise is this, 'You are to love your neighbor as yourself.'
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
The whole Law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments."
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Yeshua asked them a question,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
saying, "What do you think of the Messiah? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "Of David."
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
He said to them, "How then does David in the Ruach call him Lord, saying,
44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
'The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet'?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
"If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?"
46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
No one was able to answer him a word, neither did anyone dare ask him any more questions from that day forth.
