Matthew 22
1 Jesus continuing to discourse to them in parables, said,
And Iesus answered and spake vnto them agayne in similitudes sayinge.
2 The Administration of Heaven resembles the conduct of a king, who having made a marriage feast for his son,
The kingdome of heve is lyke vnto a certayne kynge which maryed his sonne
3 sent his servants to call them, who had been invited; but they would not come.
and sent forth his servantes to call them that were byd to the weddinge and they wolde not come.
4 Then he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited I have prepared my feast; my bullocks and fatlings are slain, and all is ready; come to the marriage.
Ageyne he sent forth other servauntes sayinge: Tell them which are bydden: beholde I have prepared my dynner myne oxen and my fatlinges are kylled and all thinges are redy come vnto the mariage.
5 But they turned away with indifference, one to his farm, another to his merchandize.
But they made light of it and went their wayes: one to his ferme place another about his marchaundise
6 And the rest seizing his servants, abused and killed them.
the remnaunt toke his seruantes and intreated them vngodly and slewe them.
7 When the king heard this, being enraged, he sent his soldiers, destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.
When the kinge hearde that he was wroth and send forth his warryers and distroyed those murtherers and brent vp their cyte.
8 Then he said to his servants, The entertainment is ready; but they who were invited were not worthy:
Then sayde he to his servauutes: the weddinge was prepared. But they which were bydden were not worthy.
9 go therefore, into the public roads, and all that you can find, invited to the marriage.
Go ye therfore out into ye hyewayes and as many as ye finde byd them to the mariage.
10 Accordingly they went into the highways, and assembled all that they found, good and bad, so that the hall was furnished with guests.
The seruauntes wet out into the hiewayes and gaddered to gedder as many as they coulde fynde both good and bad and ye weddinge was furnysshed with gestes.
11 When the king came in to see the guests, observing one who had not on a wedding garment,
Then the kynge came in to viset the gestes and spyed there a ma which had not on a weddinge garment
12 he said to him, Friend, how came you here without a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
and sayde vnto him: frende how fortuned it that thou camest in hither and hast not on a weddyng garment? And he was eve spechlesse.
13 Then the king said to the attendants, Bind him hand and foot, and thrust him out into darkness, where will be weeping and gnashing of teeth;
Then sayde the kynge to his ministers: take and bynde hym hand and fote and caste hym into vtter darcknes there shalbe wepinge and gnasshinge of teth.
14 for there are many called, but few chosen.
For many are called and feawe be chosen.
15 Then the Pharisees retired, and having consulted how they might entrap him in his words,
Then wet the Pharises and toke counsell how they might tagle him in his wordes.
16 sent to him some of their disciples, and some Herodians, who being instructed by them, said, Rabbi, we know that you are sincere, and faithfully teach the way of God, without partiality, for you respect not the person of men.
And they sent vnto him their disciples with Herodes servauntes sayinge: Master we knowe yt thou are true and teachest the waye of god trulie nether carest for eny man for thou consydrest not menes estate.
17 Tell us, therefore, your opinion: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
Tell vs therfore: how thynkest thou? Is it lawfull to geve tribute vnto Cesar or not?
18 Jesus, perceiving their malice, said, Dissemblers, why would you entangle me?
Iesus perceaved their wikednes and sayde: Why tempte ye me ye ypocrites?
19 Show me the tribute money. And they reached him a denarius.
Let me se ye tribute money. And they toke hym a peny.
20 He asked them, Whose image and inscription is this?
And he sayde vnto them: whose is this ymage and superscripcion?
21 They answered, Cesar's. He replied, Render, then, to Cesar that which is Cesar's, and to God that which is God's.
They sayde vnto him: Cesars. Then sayde he vnto them. Geve therfore to Cesar that which is Cesars: and geve vnto god that which is goddes.
22 And admiring his answer, they left him, and went away.
When they hearde that they marveled and lefte hym and went there waye.
23 The same day Sadducees, who say that there is no future life, came to him and addressed him:
The same daye the Saduces came to him (which saye that there is no resurrcecion) and axed him
24 Rabbi, Moses has said, if one die, and have no children, his brother shall marry his widow, and raise issue to the deceased.
sayinge: Master Moses bade yf a man dye havinge no chyldre that the brother mary his wyfe and reyse vp seed vnto his brother.
25 Now there lived among us seven brothers; the eldest married and died without issue, leaving his wife to his brother.
Ther were wt vs seven brethre and the fyrste maried and deceased wt oute yssue and lefte his wyfe vnto his brother.
26 Thus also the second, and the third, and so to the seventh.
Lykewise the seconde and ye thryd vnto the sevethe.
27 Last of all the woman died also.
Laste of all the woman dyed also.
28 Now, at the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven; for they all married her?
Now in the resurreccion whose wyfe shall she be of the seven? For all had her.
29 Jesus answering, said to them, You err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God;
Iesus answered and sayde vnto the: ye are deceaved and vnderstonde not the scriptures nor yet the power of God.
30 for in that state, they neither marry, nor give in marriage: they resemble the angels of God.
For in the resurreccion they nether mary nor are maryed: but are as the angels of God in heven.
31 But as to the revival of the dead, have you not read what God declared to you, saying,
As touchynge the resurreccion of the deed: have ye not redde what is sayde vnto you of God which sayeth:
32 "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?" God is not a God of the dead, but of the living.
I am Abrahams God and Ysaacks God and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the deed: but of the lyvinge.
33 Now, the people who heard this, were struck with awe at his doctrine.
And when the people hearde that they were astonyed at his doctrine.
34 Meantime, the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, flocked about him.
When the Pharises had hearde how yt he had put the Saduces to silence they drewe to gedder
35 Then, one of them, a lawyer, trying him, proposed this question,
and one of them which was a doctoure of lawe axed a question teptinge h m and sayinge:
36 Rabbi, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
Master which is ye chefe comaundment in the lawe?
37 Jesus answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind."
Iesus sayde vnto him: love the Lorde thy God wt all thine herte with all thy soule and with all thy mynde.
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
This is the fyrst and the chefe comaundement.
39 The second is like it, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
And ther is another lyke vnto this. Love thyne neghbour as thy selfe.
40 On these two commandments the whole law and the prophets depend.
In these two commaundemetes hange all the lawe and the Prophetes.
41 While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them,
Whyll the Pharises were gaddered togeder Iesus axed
42 saying, What do you think of the Messiah? Who son should he be? They answered, David's.
the sayinge: what thinke ye of Christ? Whose sonne is he? They sayde vnto him: the sonne of David.
43 He replied, How then does David, speaking by inspiration, call him his Lord?
He sayde vnto the: how then doeth David in spirite call him Lorde sayinge?
44 "The Lord," says he, "said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand until I make your foes your footstool."
The Lorde sayde to my Lorde syt on my right honde: tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole.
45 If the Messiah were David's son, would David call him his Lord?
Yf David call him Lorde: how is he then his sonne?
46 To this none of them could answer; and from that day no person presumed to interrogate him.
And none coulde answere him ageyne one worde: nether dueste eny from that daye forth axe him eny moo questions.
