Matthew 22:1
And
Jesus
answered
and
spake
unto
them
again
by
parables,
and
said,
2
The
kingdom
of
heaven
is
like
unto a
certain
king,
which
made
a
marriage
for
his
son,
3
And
sent
forth
his
servants
to
call
them that were
bidden
to
the
wedding:
and
they
would
not
come.
4
Again,
he sent
forth
other
servants,
saying,
Tell
them which are
bidden,
Behold,
I have
prepared
my
dinner:
my
oxen
and
my
fatlings
are
killed,
and
all
things
are
ready:
come
unto
the
marriage.
5
But
they made light
of
it, and went their
ways,
one
to
his
farm,
another
to
his
merchandise:
6
And
the
remnant
took
his
servants,
and entreated them
spitefully,
and
slew
them.
7
But
when the
king
heard
thereof, he was
wroth:
and
he sent
forth
his
armies,
and
destroyed
those
murderers,
and
burned
up
their
city.
8
Then
saith
he
to
his
servants,
The
wedding
is
ready,
but
they
which were bidden
were
not
worthy.
9
Go
ye
therefore
into
the
highways,
and
as
many as
ye
shall
find,
bid
to
the
marriage.
10
So
those
servants
went
out
into
the
highways,
and gathered
together
all
as many
as
they
found,
both
bad
and
good:
and
the
wedding
was
furnished
with
guests.
11
And
when
the
king
came
in
to
see
the
guests,
he
saw
there
a
man
which
had
not
on
a
wedding
garment:
12
And
he
saith
unto
him,
Friend,
how
camest
thou
in
hither
not
having
a
wedding
garment?
And
he was
speechless.
13
Then
said
the
king
to the
servants,
Bind
him
hand
and
foot,
and
take
him
away,
and
cast
him
into
outer
darkness;
there
shall
be
weeping
and
gnashing
of
teeth.
14
For
many
are
called,
but
few
are
chosen.
15
Then
went
the
Pharisees,
and
took
counsel
how
they might
entangle
him
in
his
talk.
16
And
they sent
out
unto
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.
17
Tell
us
therefore,
What
thinkest
thou?
Is it
lawful
to
give
tribute
unto
Caesar,
or
not?
18
But
Jesus
perceived
their
wickedness,
and
said,
Why
tempt
ye
me,
ye
hypocrites?
19
Show
me
the
tribute
money.
And
they
brought
unto
him
a
penny.
20
And
he
saith
unto
them,
Whose
is
this
image
and
superscription?
21
They
say
unto
him,
Caesar's.
Then
saith
he
unto
them,
Render
therefore
unto
Caesar
the things which
are
Caesar's;
and
unto
God
the things that
are
God's.
22
When
they had
heard
these words, they
marvelled,
and
left
him,
and went their
way.
23
The
same
°
day
came
to
him
the
Sadducees,
which
say
that there
is
no
resurrection,
and
asked
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.
25
Now
there
were
with
us
seven
brethren:
and
the
first,
when he had married a
wife,
deceased,
and,
having
no
issue,
left
his
wife
unto
his
brother:
26
Likewise
the
second
also,
and
the
third,
unto
the
seventh.
27
And
last
of
all
the
woman
died
also.
28
Therefore
in
the
resurrection
whose
wife
shall she
be
of the
seven?
for
they
all
had
her.
29
Jesus
answered
and
said
unto
them,
Ye do
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
the
angels
of
God
in
heaven.
31
But
as
touching
the
resurrection
of the
dead,
have
ye
not
read
that
which
was
spoken
unto
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.
33
And
when the
multitude
heard
this, they were
astonished
at
his
doctrine.
34
But
when the
Pharisees
had
heard
that
he had
put
the
Sadducees
to
silence,
they were gathered
together.
°
35
Then
one
of
them,
which was a
lawyer,
asked
him a question,
tempting
him,
and
saying,
36
Master,
which
is the
great
commandment
in
the
law?
37
Jesus
said
unto
him,
Thou shalt
love
the
Lord
thy
God
with
all
thy
heart,
and
with
all
thy
soul,
and
with
all
thy
mind.
°
38
This
is
the
first
and
great
commandment.
39
And
the
second
is
like
unto
it,
Thou
shalt love
thy
neighbour
as
thyself.
40
On
these
two
commandments
hang
all
the
law
and
the
prophets.
41
While
the
Pharisees
were gathered
together,
Jesus
asked
them,
42
Saying,
What
think
ye
of
Christ?
whose
son
is
he?
They
say
unto
him,
The son of
David.
43
He
saith
unto
them,
How
then
doth
David
in
spirit
call
him
Lord,
saying,
44
The
Lord
said
unto
my
Lord,
Sit
thou
on
my
right
hand,
till
I
make
thine
enemies
thy
footstool?
°
45
If
David
then
call
him
Lord,
how
is
he
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.
