Matthew 22
1 And answering Jesus again spoke in parables to them saying;
Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:
2 Has become like the kingdom of the heavens to a man a king who made a wedding feast for the son of him.
“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
3 And he sent the servants of him to call those invited to the wedding feast, and not they were willing to come.
He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
4 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.
Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5 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;
But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.
6 And the rest having laid hold of the servants of him mistreated and killed [them].
The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
7 (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.
The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.
8 Then he says to the servants of him; The indeed wedding feast ready is, those however invited not were worthy.
Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.
9 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.
Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
10 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.
So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 Having entered in then the king to see those reclining he saw there a man not being dressed himself in clothes of wedding
But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
12 and he says to him; Friend, how did you enter here not having garment of wedding? And he was speechless.
‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
13 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.
Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 Many for are called, few however chosen.
For many are called, but few are chosen.”
15 Then having gone out the Pharisees counsel took how Him they may trap in His words.
Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
16 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.
They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.
17 do tell therefore us what You think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?
So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
18 Having known however Jesus the malice of them He said; Why Me do you test, hypocrites?
But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?
19 do show Me the coin of the tribute. And they presented to Him a denarius.
Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
20 And He says to them; Of whom [is] likeness this And [of whom is] the inscription?
“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”
21 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.
“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
22 And having heard they marveled, and having left Him they went away.
And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
23 On that [very] day came to Him Sadducees (those *k*) saying not being a resurrection and they questioned Him
That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.
24 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.
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
25 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;
Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.
26 Likewise also the second and the third until the seventh.
The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.
27 Finally then of all died (and *ko*) the woman.
And last of all, the woman died.
28 In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven will she be wife? All for had her.
In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”
29 Answering now Jesus said to them; You err not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
30 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.
In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
31 Concerning now the resurrection of the dead surely you have read that which has been spoken to you by God saying;
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:
32 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.
‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33 And having heard the crowds were astonished at the teaching of Him.
When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
34 And the Pharisees having heard that He had silenced the Sadducees were gathered together the same.
And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.
35 And questioned [Him] one of them a lawyer testing Him (and saying: *k*)
One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:
36 Teacher, which commandment [is the] greatest in the law?
“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”
37 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.’
Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38 This is (the *no*) great and first commandment.
This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 [The] second also [is] like (to it: *NK(o)*) You will love the neighbour of you as yourself.’
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 On these two commandments all the law (hangs *N(k)O*) and the Prophets.
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
41 When were assembled now the Pharisees questioned them Jesus
While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:
42 saying; What you think concerning the Christ? Of whom son is He? They say to Him; Of David.
“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
43 He says to them; How then David in spirit does call Him Lord saying:
Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:
44 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?
‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
45 If therefore David calls Him Lord, how son of him is He?
So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”
46 And no [one] was able to answer Him a word nor dared anyone from that [very] day to question Him no longer. no longer.
No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
