1 And answering Jesus again spoke in parables to them saying;
And Jesus answering, again spoke to them in allegories, saying,
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 the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made wedding feasts 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.
and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the wedding feasts, and they were not willing 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 forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Behold, I prepared my early meal, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things [are] ready, come to the wedding feasts;
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;
and they, having disregarded [it], went away, one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise;
6 And the rest having laid hold of the servants of him mistreated and killed [them].
and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, mistreated and slew [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.
And the king having heard, was angry, and having sent forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their city he set on fire;
8 Then he says to the servants of him; The indeed wedding feast ready is, those however invited not were worthy.
then he says to his servants, The wedding feast indeed is ready, and those called 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.
be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as you may find, call to the wedding feasts.
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.
And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, gathered all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the wedding was filled with those reclining.
11 Having entered in then the king to see those reclining he saw there a man not being dressed himself in clothes of wedding
And the king having come in to view those reclining, saw there a man not clothed with wedding clothes,
12 and he says to him; Friend, how did you enter here not having garment of wedding? And he was speechless.
and he says to him, Friend, how did you come in here, not having wedding clothes? And he 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 said to the servants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him up and cast forth into the outer darkness, there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth;
14 Many for are called, few however chosen.
for many are called, and few chosen.”
15 Then having gone out the Pharisees counsel took how Him they may trap in His words.
Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare Him in 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.
and they send to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we have known that You are true, and the way of God in truth You teach, and You are not caring for anyone, for You do not look to the face of men;
17 do tell therefore us what You think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?
tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?”
18 Having known however Jesus the malice of them He said; Why Me do you test, hypocrites?
And Jesus having known their wickedness, said, “Why do you tempt Me, hypocrites?
19 do show Me the coin of the tribute. And they presented to Him a denarius.
Show Me the tribute-coin.” And they brought to Him a denarius;
20 And He says to them; Of whom [is] likeness this And [of whom is] the inscription?
and He says to them, “Whose [is] this image and the 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.
They say to Him, “Caesar’s”; then He says to them, “Render therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God”;
22 And having heard they marveled, and having left Him they went away.
and having heard they wondered, and having left Him they went away.
23 On that [very] day came to Him Sadducees (those *k*) saying not being a resurrection and they questioned Him
In that day there came near to Him Sadducees who are saying there is not a resurrection, and they questioned Him, saying,
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, Moses said if anyone may die having no children, his brother will marry his wife, and will raise up seed to his brother.
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;
And there were with us seven brothers, and the first having married died, and having no seed, he left his wife to his brother;
26 Likewise also the second and the third until the seventh.
in like manner also the second, and the third, to the seventh,
27 Finally then of all died (and *ko*) the woman.
and last of all the woman also died;
28 In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven will she be wife? All for had her.
therefore in the resurrection, of which of the seven will she be wife—for all had her?”
29 Answering now Jesus said to them; You err not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
And Jesus answering said to them, “You go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor 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.
for in the resurrection they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in Heaven.
31 Concerning now the resurrection of the dead surely you have read that which has been spoken to you by God saying;
And concerning the resurrection of the dead, did you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
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, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.”
33 And having heard the crowds were astonished at the teaching of Him.
And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at His teaching;
34 And the Pharisees having heard that He had silenced the Sadducees were gathered together the same.
and the Pharisees, having heard that He silenced the Sadducees, were gathered together to Him;
35 And questioned [Him] one of them a lawyer testing Him (and saying: *k*)
and one of them, a lawyer, questioned, tempting Him, and saying,
36 Teacher, which commandment [is the] greatest in the law?
“Teacher, which [is] the great command 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.’
And Jesus said to him, “You will love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your understanding—
38 This is (the *no*) great and first commandment.
this is a first and great command;
39 [The] second also [is] like (to it: *NK(o)*) You will love the neighbour of you as yourself.’
and the second [is] like to it: You will love your neighbor as yourself;
40 On these two commandments all the law (hangs *N(k)O*) and the Prophets.
on these—the two commands—all the Law and the Prophets hang.”
41 When were assembled now the Pharisees questioned them Jesus
And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus questioned them,
42 saying; What you think concerning the Christ? Of whom son is He? They say to Him; Of David.
saying, “What do you think concerning the Christ? Of whom is He Son?” They say to Him, “Of David.”
43 He says to them; How then David in spirit does call Him Lord saying:
He says to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him Lord, saying,
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 may make Your enemies Your footstool?
45 If therefore David calls Him Lord, how son of him is He?
If then David calls Him Lord, how is He his 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.
And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor did any dare question Him from that day [on].
