Matthew 22
1 And Jesus answering, again spake to them in similes, saying,
Then Iesus answered, and spake vnto them againe in parables, saying,
2 'The reign of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made marriage-feasts for his son,
The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine King which maried his sonne,
3 and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to come.
And sent foorth his seruants, to call them that were bidde to the wedding, but they woulde not come.
4 'Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Lo, my dinner I prepared, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things [are] ready, come ye to the marriage-feasts;
Againe hee sent foorth other seruants, saying. Tell them which are bidden, Beholde, I haue prepared my dinner: mine oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all thinges are readie: come vnto the mariage.
5 and they, having disregarded [it], went away, the one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise;
But they made light of it, and went their wayes, one to his farme, and another about his marchandise.
6 and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, did insult and slay [them].
And the remnant tooke his seruants, and intreated them sharpely, and slewe them.
7 'And the king having heard, was wroth, and having sent forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their city he set on fire;
But when the King heard it, he was wroth, and sent foorth his warriers, and destroyed those murtherers, and burnt vp their citie.
8 then saith he to his servants, The marriage-feast indeed is ready, and those called were not worthy,
Then saide hee to his seruants, Truely the wedding is prepared: but they which were bidden, were not worthy.
9 be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as ye may find, call ye to the marriage-feasts.
Go ye therefore out into the high wayes, and as many as ye finde, bid them to the mariage.
10 'And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, did gather all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the marriage-feast apartment was filled with those reclining.
So those seruantes went out into the hie wayes, and gathered together all that euer they found, both good and bad: so the wedding was furnished with ghestes.
11 'And the king having come in to view those reclining, saw there a man not clothed with clothing of the marriage-feast,
Then the King came in, to see the ghestes, and sawe there a man which had not on a wedding garment.
12 and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was speechless.
And he sayd vnto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, and hast not on a wedding garment? And he was speachlesse.
13 'Then said the king to the ministrants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him up and cast forth to the outer darkness, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth;
Then sayd the King to the seruants, Binde him hand and foote: take him away, and cast him into vtter darkenes: there shalbe weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 for many are called, and few chosen.'
For many are called, but fewe chosen.
15 Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words,
Then went the Pharises and tooke counsell how they might tangle him in talke.
16 and they send to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, 'Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and the way of God in truth thou dost teach, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men;
And they sent vnto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we knowe that thou art true, and teachest the way of God truely, neither carest for any man: for thou considerest not the person of men.
17 tell us, therefore, what dost thou think? is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?'
Tell vs therefore, how thinkest thou? Is it lawfull to giue tribute vnto Cesar, or not?
18 And Jesus having known their wickedness, said, 'Why me do ye tempt, hypocrites?
But Iesus perceiued their wickednes, and sayd, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 show me the tribute-coin?' and they brought to him a denary;
Shewe me the tribute money. And they brought him a peny.
20 and he saith to them, 'Whose [is] this image and the inscription?'
And he sayde vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 they say to him, 'Caesar's;' then saith he to them, 'Render therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'
They sayd vnto him, Cesars. Then sayd he vnto them, Giue therefore to Cesar, the things which are Cesars, and giue vnto God, those things which are Gods.
22 and having heard they wondered, and having left him they went away.
And when they heard it, they marueiled, and left him, and went their way.
23 In that day there came near to him Sadducees, who are saying there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,
The same day the Sadduces came to him (which say that there is no resurrection) and asked him,
24 'Teacher, Moses said, If any one may die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and shall raise up seed to his brother.
Saying, Master, Moses sayd, If a man die, hauing no children, his brother shall marie his wife by the right of alliance, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.
25 'And there were with us seven brothers, and the first having married did die, and not having seed, he left his wife to his brother;
Nowe there were with vs seuen brethren, and the first maried a wife, and deceased: and hauing none yssue, left his wife vnto his brother.
26 in like manner also the second, and the third, unto the seventh,
Likewise also the second, and the third, vnto the seuenth.
27 and last of all died also the woman;
And last of all the woman died also.
28 therefore in the rising again, of which of the seven shall she be wife — for all had her?'
Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seuen? for all had her.
29 And Jesus answering said to them, 'Ye go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God;
Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Ye are deceiued, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 for in the rising again they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in heaven.
For in the resurrection they neither marie wiues, nor wiues are bestowed in mariage, but are as the Angels of God in heauen.
31 'And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
And concerning the resurrection of the dead, haue ye not read what is spoken vuto you of God, saying,
32 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.'
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the liuing.
33 And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching;
And when the multitude heard it, they were astonied at his doctrine.
34 and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him;
But when the Pharises had heard, that he had put the Sadduces to silence, they assembled together.
35 and one of them, a lawyer, did question, tempting him, and saying,
And one of them, which was an expounder of the Lawe, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 'Teacher, which [is] the great command in the Law?'
Master, which is ye great commandement in the Lawe?
37 And Jesus said to him, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding —
Iesus sayd to him, Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soule, and with all thy minde.
38 this is a first and great command;
This is the first and the great commandement.
39 and the second [is] like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;
And the second is like vnto this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
40 on these — the two commands — all the law and the prophets do hang.'
On these two commandements hangeth the whole Lawe, and the Prophets.
41 And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did question them,
While the Pharises were gathered together, Iesus asked them,
42 saying, 'What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?' They say to him, 'Of David.'
Saying, What thinke ye of Christ? whose sonne is he? They sayd vnto him, Dauids.
43 He saith to them, 'How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord, saying,
He sayd vnto them, How then doeth Dauid in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?
The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestoole?
45 If then David doth call him lord, how is he his son?'
If then Dauid call him Lord, howe is he his sonne?
46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor durst any from that day question him any more.
And none could answere him a worde, neither durst any from that day foorth aske him any moe questions.
