Matthew 22
1 Yeshua answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,
AND Jesus continuing his discourse, spake again to them in parables, saying,
2 "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage-feast for his son:
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.
and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the entertainment: and they would not come.
4 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."'
Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who have been invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and the fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come unto the marriage-feast.
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,
But they gave themselves no concern about it, and went their several ways, one to his own farm, and another to his traffick:
6 and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
And the rest seizing his servants, insulted and slew them.
7 The king was enraged, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
Then the king, when he heard it, was incensed: and sending out his armies, destroyed these murderers, and burnt down their city.
8 "Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren't worthy.
Then he said to his servants, The wedding entertainment indeed is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy:
9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.'
go therefore into the thoroughfares of the roads, and as many as ye find, invite to the banquet.
10 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.
So these servants going out into the roads, collected all, as many as they found, both bad and good; and the wedding feast was fully furnished with guests.
11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on wedding clothing,
Then the king coming in to look around on the guests, saw there a man who had not put on the wedding garment:
12 and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.
and he saith to him, Friend, how came thou in here, not having the garment provided for the marriage feast? And he was speechless.
13 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.'
Then said the king to the servants, Bind his feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him into the darkness, which is without; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few chosen."
For many are called, but few elect.
15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel together how they might lay a snare to entrap him in his discourse.
16 They sent their disciples 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.
And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God with veracity; and carest for no man, for thou regardest not the person of men:
17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"
tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 But Yeshua perceived their wickedness, and said, "Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
But Jesus knew their wicked design, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Show me the tax money." They brought to him a denura.
Shew me the money for the tribute; and they brought him a denarius.
20 He asked them, "Whose is this image and inscription?"
And he saith unto them, Whose figure is this and inscription?
21 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."
They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Caesar, the things which are Caesar’s; and to God, the things which are God’s.
22 When they heard it, they were astonished, and left him, and went away.
And when they heard him, they marvelled, and leaving him, went away.
23 On that day Sadducees came to him, the ones saying that there is no resurrection. And they asked him,
On the same day the Sadducees came to him, who say, that there is no resurrection, and they put a question to him,
24 saying, "Teacher, Mushe said, 'If a man dies, having no children, his brother is to marry his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.'
saying, Master, Moses said, “If a man die having no children, his brother in right of affinity shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.”
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.
Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first marrying, died, and had no offspring, and left his wife to his brother;
26 In like manner the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
likewise the second also; then the third; so on to the seven.
27 After them all, the woman died.
Last of all the woman died also.
28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her."
In the resurrection therefore, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 But Yeshua answered them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
Jesus then answering, said unto them, Ye are in an error, from not knowing the Scriptures, and the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven.
For at the resurrection, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
But with respect to the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you of God, saying,
32 'I am the God of Avraham, and the God of Iskhaq, and the God of Yaquv?' 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 When the crowds heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
And when the multitude heard it, they were amazingly struck with his doctrine.
34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
But the Pharisees hearing that he had stopped the Sadducees’ mouths, they assembled together:
35 One of them, a Law scholar, asked him a question, testing him.
and one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, to make trial of him, and said,
36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?"
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 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.'
Then Jesus 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 great and first commandment.
This is the first and great commandment.
39 A second likewise is this, 'You are to love your neighbor as yourself.'
And the second is like to it, “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
40 The whole Law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments."
On these two commandments, the whole law and the prophets depend.
41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Yeshua asked them a question,
The Pharisees being then assembled, Jesus put a question to them,
42 saying, "What do you think of the Meshikha? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "Of Dawid."
saying, What think ye of the Messiah, whose son is he? They say unto him, David’s.
43 He said to them, "How then does Dawid in the Rukha call him Lord, saying,
He saith unto them, How then doth David by the Spirit call him Lord? saying,
44 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet'?
“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thine enemies as a footstool for thy feet.”
45 "If then Dawid calls him Lord, how is he his son?"
If then David calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did anyone dare ask him any more questions from that day forth.
And no man could answer him a word, neither durst any man, from that day, interrogate him any more.
