Matthew 22
1 Yeshua [Salvation] answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,
και αποκριθεις ο ιησους παλιν ειπεν αυτοις εν παραβολαις λεγων
2 “The Kingdom of Heaven (God) is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει οστις εποιησεν γαμους τω υιω αυτου
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.
και απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου καλεσαι τους κεκλημενους εις τους γαμους και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν
4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage feast!”’
παλιν απεστειλεν αλλους δουλους λεγων ειπατε τοις κεκλημενοις ιδου το αριστον μου ητοιμασα οι ταυροι μου και τα σιτιστα τεθυμενα και παντα ετοιμα δευτε εις τους γαμους
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,
οι δε αμελησαντες απηλθον ο μεν εις τον ιδιον αγρον ο δε εις την εμποριαν αυτου
6 and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
οι δε λοιποι κρατησαντες τους δουλους αυτου υβρισαν και απεκτειναν
7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
ακουσας δε ο βασιλευς ωργισθη και πεμψας τα στρατευματα αυτου απωλεσεν τους φονεις εκεινους και την πολιν αυτων ενεπρησεν
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
τοτε λεγει τοις δουλοις αυτου ο μεν γαμος ετοιμος εστιν οι δε κεκλημενοι ουκ ησαν αξιοι
9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.’
πορευεσθε ουν επι τας διεξοδους των οδων και οσους αν ευρητε καλεσατε εις τους γαμους
10 Those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας οσους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο γαμος ανακειμενων
11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
εισελθων δε ο βασιλευς θεασασθαι τους ανακειμενους ειδεν εκει ανθρωπον ουκ ενδεδυμενον ενδυμα γαμου
12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
και λεγει αυτω εταιρε πως εισηλθες ωδε μη εχων ενδυμα γαμου ο δε εφιμωθη
13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
τοτε ειπεν ο βασιλευς τοις διακονοις δησαντες αυτου ποδας και χειρας αρατε αυτον και εκβαλετε εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων
14 For many are called, but few chosen.”
πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι
15 Then the Pharisees [Separated] went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
τοτε πορευθεντες οι φαρισαιοι συμβουλιον ελαβον οπως αυτον παγιδευσωσιν εν λογω
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.
και αποστελλουσιν αυτω τους μαθητας αυτων μετα των ηρωδιανων λεγοντες διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι αληθης ει και την οδον του θεου εν αληθεια διδασκεις και ου μελει σοι περι ουδενος ου γαρ βλεπεις εις προσωπον ανθρωπων
17 Tell us what you think: Does Torah ·Teaching· permit paying taxes to Caesar [Ruler], or not?”
ειπε ουν ημιν τι σοι δοκει εξεστιν δουναι κηνσον καισαρι η ου
18 But Yeshua [Salvation] perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
γνους δε ο ιησους την πονηριαν αυτων ειπεν τι με πειραζετε υποκριται
19 Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius [one day’s wage].
επιδειξατε μοι το νομισμα του κηνσου οι δε προσηνεγκαν αυτω δηναριον
20 He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
και λεγει αυτοις τινος η εικων αυτη και η επιγραφη
21 They said to him, “Caesar’s [Ruler]’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar [Ruler] the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
λεγουσιν αυτω καισαρος τοτε λεγει αυτοις αποδοτε ουν τα καισαρος καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went away.
και ακουσαντες εθαυμασαν και αφεντες αυτον απηλθον
23 On that day Sadducees [Morally-upright] (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him hard questions,
εν εκεινη τη ημερα προσηλθον αυτω σαδδουκαιοι οι λεγοντες μη ειναι αναστασιν και επηρωτησαν αυτον
24 saying, “Teacher, Moses [Drawn out] said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.’
λεγοντες διδασκαλε μωσης ειπεν εαν τις αποθανη μη εχων τεκνα επιγαμβρευσει ο αδελφος αυτου την γυναικα αυτου και αναστησει σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
ησαν δε παρ ημιν επτα αδελφοι και ο πρωτος γαμησας ετελευτησεν και μη εχων σπερμα αφηκεν την γυναικα αυτου τω αδελφω αυτου
26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
ομοιως και ο δευτερος και ο τριτος εως των επτα
27 After them all, the woman died.
υστερον δε παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
εν τη ουν αναστασει τινος των επτα εσται γυνη παντες γαρ εσχον αυτην
29 But Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις πλανασθε μη ειδοτες τας γραφας μηδε την δυναμιν του θεου
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
εν γαρ τη αναστασει ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε εκγαμιζονται αλλ ως αγγελοι του θεου εν ουρανω εισιν
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
περι δε της αναστασεως των νεκρων ουκ ανεγνωτε το ρηθεν υμιν υπο του θεου λεγοντος
32 ‘I am the God of Abraham [Father of a multitude], and the God of Isaac [Laughter], and the God of Jacob [Supplanter]?’ God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
εγω ειμι ο θεος αβρααμ και ο θεος ισαακ και ο θεος ιακωβ ουκ εστιν ο θεος θεος νεκρων αλλα ζωντων
33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
και ακουσαντες οι οχλοι εξεπλησσοντο επι τη διδαχη αυτου
34 But the Pharisees [Separated], when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees [Morally-upright], gathered themselves together.
οι δε φαρισαιοι ακουσαντες οτι εφιμωσεν τους σαδδουκαιους συνηχθησαν επι το αυτο
35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
και επηρωτησεν εις εξ αυτων νομικος πειραζων αυτον και λεγων
36 “Teacher, which of the mitzvot ·instructions· in the Torah ·Teaching· is the most important?”
διδασκαλε ποια εντολη μεγαλη εν τω νομω
37 Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “‘You shall have agapao ·total devotion love· to MarYah [Master Yahweh] your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτω αγαπησεις κυριον τον θεον σου εν ολη τη καρδια σου και εν ολη τη ψυχη σου και εν ολη τη διανοια σου
38 This is the greatest and most important mitzvah ·instruction·.
αυτη εστιν πρωτη και μεγαλη εντολη
39 A second likewise is this, ‘You shall show agapao ·total devoted love· to your neighbor as yourself.’
δευτερα δε ομοια αυτη αγαπησεις τον πλησιον σου ως σεαυτον
40 All of the Torah ·Teaching· and the Prophets depend on these two mitzvot ·instructions·.”
εν ταυταις ταις δυσιν εντολαις ολος ο νομος και οι προφηται κρεμανται
41 Now while the Pharisees [Separated] were gathered together, Yeshua [Salvation] asked them a question,
συνηγμενων δε των φαρισαιων επηρωτησεν αυτους ο ιησους
42 saying, “What do you think of the Messiah [Anointed one]? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David [Beloved].”
λεγων τι υμιν δοκει περι του χριστου τινος υιος εστιν λεγουσιν αυτω του δαβιδ
43 He said to them, “How then does David [Beloved] in haRuach [the Spirit] call him MarYah [Master Yahweh], saying,
λεγει αυτοις πως ουν δαβιδ εν πνευματι κυριον αυτον καλει λεγων
44 ‘Yahweh said to adoni [my Lord], sit on my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet’?
ειπεν ο κυριος τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
45 “If then David [Beloved] calls him MarYah [Master Yahweh], how is he his son?”
ει ουν δαβιδ καλει αυτον κυριον πως υιος αυτου εστιν
46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more hard questions from that day forward.
και ουδεις εδυνατο αυτω αποκριθηναι λογον ουδε ετολμησεν τις απ εκεινης της ημερας επερωτησαι αυτον ουκετι
