Matthew 22
1 And Jesus answered, and spoke to them again by parables, and said,
Yeshua [Salvation] answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage for his son,
“The Kingdom of Heaven (God) is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
3 And sent his servants to call them that were invited to the wedding: and they would not come.
and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.
4 Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell them who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come to the marriage.
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!”’
5 But they made light of [it], and went, one to his farm, another to his merchandise.
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,
6 And the remnant took his servants, and treated [them] spitefully, and slew [them].
and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 But when the king heard [of it], he was wroth: and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Then he saith to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy.
“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, invite to the marriage.
Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.’
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and collected all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
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.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not a wedding-garment:
But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
12 And he saith to him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.
and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into utter darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
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.’
14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen.
For many are called, but few chosen.”
15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in [his] talk.
Then the Pharisees [Separated] went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
16 And they sent out to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any [man]: for thou regardest not the person of men.
They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Rabbi ·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.
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
Tell us what you think: Does Torah ·Teaching· permit paying taxes to Caesar [Ruler], or not?”
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, [ye] hypocrites?
But Yeshua [Salvation] perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
19 Show me the tribute-money. And they brought to him a penny.
Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius [one day’s wage].
20 And he saith to them, Whose [is] this image, and superscription?
He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
21 They say to him, Cesar's. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Cesar, the things which are Cesar's; and to God, the things that are God's.
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.”
22 When they had heard [these words], they marveled, and left him, and departed.
When they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went away.
23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
On that day Sadducees [Morally-upright] (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him hard questions,
24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man shall die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
saying, “Rabbi ·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.’
25 Now there were with us seven brothers: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased; and having no issue, left his wife to his brother.
Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
26 Likewise the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
After them all, the woman died.
28 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
But Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “You are mistaken, 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 the angels of God in heaven.
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
31 But as concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was 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 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.”
33 And when the multitude heard [this], they were astonished at his doctrine.
When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were assembled about him.
But the Pharisees [Separated], when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees [Morally-upright], gathered themselves together.
35 Then one of them [who was] a lawyer, asked [him a question], tempting him, and saying,
One of them, a Torah-expert, asked him a question, testing him.
36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
“Rabbi ·Teacher·, which of the mitzvot ·instructions· in the Torah ·Teaching· is the most important?”
37 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.
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.’
38 This is the first and great commandment.
This is the greatest and most important mitzvah ·instruction·.
39 And the second [is] like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
A second likewise is this, ‘You shall show agapao ·total devoted love· to your neighbor as yourself.’
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
All of the Torah ·Teaching· and the Prophets depend on these two mitzvot ·instructions·.”
41 While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them,
Now while the Pharisees [Separated] were gathered together, Yeshua [Salvation] asked them a question,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, [The son] of David.
saying, “What do you think of the Messiah [Anointed one]? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David [Beloved].”
43 He saith to them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
He said to them, “How then does David [Beloved] in haRuach [the Spirit, Breath] call him MarYah [Master Yahweh], saying,
44 The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool?
‘Yahweh said to 'adoni ·my Lord·, sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet’?
45 If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
“If then David [Beloved] calls him MarYah [Master Yahweh], in what way can he be his son?”
46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any [man], from that day forth, ask him any more questions.
No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more hard questions from that day forward.
