< Matthew 22 >

1 And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them, saying,
And answering Jesus again spoke in parables to them saying;
2 The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, which made a marriage feast for his son,
Has become like the kingdom of the heavens to a man a king who made a wedding feast for the son of him.
3 and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come.
And he sent the servants of him to call those invited to the wedding feast, and not they were willing to come.
4 Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.
Again he sent other servants saying; do say to those invited; Behold the dinner of mine (I have prepared, *N(k)O*) the oxen of Mine and the fatlings killed, and all things [are] ready; come to the wedding feast.
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise:
And having paid no attention they went away, (that [one] *N(k)O*) indeed to [his] own field, (that [one] *N(k)O*) however (to *N(k)O*) the business of him;
6 and the rest laid hold on his servants, and entreated them shamefully, and killed them.
And the rest having laid hold of the servants of him mistreated and killed [them].
7 But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
(and *o*) (having heard *k*) Now the king (that *k*) was angry, and having sent the armies of him he destroyed the murderers those and the city of them he burned.
8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy.
Then he says to the servants of him; The indeed wedding feast ready is, those however invited not were worthy.
9 Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast.
do go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as (if *N(k)O*) you shall find, do invite to the wedding feast.
10 And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.
And having gone out the servants those into the highways they brought together all (as many as *N(k)O*) they found, evil both and good; and became full the (wedding hall *NK(O)*) of those reclining.
11 But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding-garment:
Having entered in then the king to see those reclining he saw there a man not being dressed himself in clothes of wedding
12 and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.
and he says to him; Friend, how did you enter here not having garment of wedding? And he was speechless.
13 Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Then the king said to the servants; Having bound his feet and hands (do take and *KO*) do cast out him into the darkness outer; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
14 For many are called, but few chosen.
Many for are called, few however chosen.
15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might ensnare him in [his] talk.
Then having gone out the Pharisees counsel took how Him they may trap in His words.
16 And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the person of men.
And they send to Him the disciples of them with the Herodians (saying; *NK(o)*) Teacher, we know that true You are and the way of God in [the] truth You teach, and not there is care to You about no [one], not for You look on [the] appearance of men.
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
do tell therefore us what You think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
Having known however Jesus the malice of them He said; Why Me do you test, hypocrites?
19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
do show Me the coin of the tribute. And they presented to Him a denarius.
20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
And He says to them; Of whom [is] likeness this And [of whom is] the inscription?
21 They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
They say to Him; Of Caesar. Then He says to them; do give back therefore the [things] of Caesar to Caesar and the [things] of God to God.
22 And when they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went their way.
And having heard they marveled, and having left Him they went away.
23 On that day there came to him Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him,
On that [very] day came to Him Sadducees (those *k*) saying not being a resurrection and they questioned 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 anyone shall die not having children, will marry the brother of him the wife of him and he will raise up offspring for the brother of him.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his brother;
There were now among us seven brothers. and the first having married died, and not having seed he left the wife of him to the brother of him;
26 in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
Likewise also the second and the third until the seventh.
27 And after them all the woman died.
Finally then of all died (and *ko*) the woman.
28 In the resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven will she be wife? All for had her.
29 But Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Answering now Jesus said to them; You err 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 angels in heaven.
In for the resurrection neither do they marry nor (are given in marriage *N(k)O*) but like angels (*K*) (of God *KO*) in (*no*) heaven they are.
31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
Concerning now the resurrection of the dead surely you have read that which has been 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 myself am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob?’ Not He is the God (God *k*) of [the] dead but of [the] living.
33 And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
And having heard the crowds were astonished at the teaching of Him.
34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered themselves together.
And the Pharisees having heard that He had silenced the Sadducees were gathered together the same.
35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him,
And questioned [Him] one of them a lawyer testing Him (and saying: *k*)
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Teacher, which commandment [is the] greatest in the law?
37 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.
And (Jesus *k*) (was saying *N(k)O*) to him; You will love [the] Lord the God of you with all the heart of you and with all the soul of you and with all the mind of you.’
38 This is the great and first commandment.
This is (the *no*) great and first commandment.
39 And a second like [unto it] is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[The] second also [is] like (to it: *NK(o)*) You will love the neighbour of you as yourself.’
40 On these two commandments hangeth the whole law, and the prophets.

41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
When were assembled now the Pharisees questioned them Jesus
42 saying, What think ye of the Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, [The son] of David.
saying; What you think concerning the Christ? Of whom son is He? They say to Him; Of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
He says to them; How then David in spirit does call Him Lord saying:
44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet?
Said (the *k*) Lord to the Lord of me; do sit on [the] right hand of Me until when I may place the enemies of You ([as] a footstool *N(k)O*) for the feet of You?
45 If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
If therefore David calls Him Lord, how son of him is He?
46 And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
And no [one] was able to answer Him a word nor dared anyone from that [very] day to question Him no longer. no longer.
