22 And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son, and sent forth his [a]servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come. Again he sent forth other [b]servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise; and the rest laid hold on his [c]servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them. But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. Then saith he to his [d]servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast. 10 And those [e]servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests. 11 But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who 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 the king said to the [f]servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few chosen.

15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might ensnare him in his talk. 16 And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one: 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 make ye trial of me, ye hypocrites? 19 Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a [g]denarius. 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 that are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s. 22 And when they heard it, they marvelled, and left him, and went away.

23 On that day there came to him Sadducees, [h]they that say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him, 24 saying, Teacher, Moses said, [i]If a man die, having no children, his brother [j]shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his brother; 26 in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the [k]seventh. 27 And after them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29 But 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 angels [l]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 [m]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 multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered themselves together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, trying him: 36 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 And he said unto him, [n]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 great and first commandment. 39 [o]And a second like unto it is this, [p]Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 40 On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets.

41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42 saying, What think ye of the Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. 43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

44 [q]The Lord said unto my Lord,
Sit thou on my right hand,
Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet?

45 If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son? 46 And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

22 Once kai again palin · ho Jesus Iēsous spoke legō to them autos in en parables parabolē, saying legō: The ho kingdom basileia of ho heaven ouranos is like homoioō a king basileus who hostis prepared poieō a wedding feast gamos for ho his autos son hyios and kai sent apostellō · ho his autos servants to call kaleō those ho who had been invited kaleō to eis the ho feast gamos; but kai they would thelō not ou come erchomai. Then palin he sent apostellō other allos servants, saying legō, ‘ Tell legō those ho who have been invited kaleō, “ See idou, I have prepared hetoimazō · ho my egō banquet ariston, · ho my egō oxen tauros and kai · ho fattened calves sitistos have been slaughtered thuō, and kai everything pas is ready hetoimos. Come deute to eis the ho wedding feast gamos.”’ But de they ho paid ameleō no attention and went aperchomai on their way , one hos men to eis · ho his idios farm agros, another hos de to epi · ho his autos business emporia, while de the ho rest loipos seized krateō · ho his autos servants, treated hybrizō them shamefully , and kai killed apokteinō them. The ho · de king basileus was furious orgizō! · kai He sent pempō · ho his autos troops strateuma and destroyed apollymi · ho those ekeinos murderers phoneus and kai burned · ho their autos city polis to the ground. Then tote he said legō to ho his autos servants, ‘ The ho wedding feast gamos is eimi ready hetoimos, but de those ho who were invited kaleō were eimi not ou worthy axios. Go poreuō therefore oun to epi the ho busy diexodos · ho intersections hodos and kai invite kaleō everyone hosos ean you can find heuriskō to eis the ho wedding feast gamos.’ 10 So kai those ekeinos servants went exerchomai out · ho into eis the ho streets hodos and gathered synagō everyone pas hos they could find heuriskō, rogues ponēros as well as te honorable agathos men ; and kai the ho wedding hall gamos was packed pimplēmi with guests anakeimai. 11 But de when the ho king basileus came eiserchomai in to see theaomai the ho guests anakeimai, he noticed a man anthrōpos there ekei who was not ou wearing endyō a wedding gamos garment endyma. 12 And kai he said legō to him autos, ‘ Friend hetairos, how pōs did you get eiserchomai in here hōde without mē echō a wedding gamos garment endyma?’ And de the ho man was speechless phimoō. 13 Then tote the ho king basileus said legō to his ho assistants diakonos, ‘ Bind deō him autos foot pous and kai hand cheir and throw ekballō him autos out into eis · ho outer exōteros darkness skotos, · ho where ekei there will be eimi · ho weeping klauthmos and kai · ho gnashing brygmos of ho teeth odous.’ 14 For gar many polys are eimi called klētos, but de few oligos are chosen eklektos.”

15 Then tote the ho Pharisees Pharisaios went poreuō out and plotted symboulion lambanō how hopōs they could trap pagideuō him autos in en what he said logos. 16 And kai they sent apostellō their autos disciples mathētēs to him autos · ho along with meta the ho Herodians hērōidianoi, saying legō, “ Teacher didaskalos, we know oida that hoti you are eimi true alēthēs and kai teach didaskō the ho way hodos of ho God theos in en truth alētheia, and kai show deference melei to peri no oudeis one , for gar you are not ou swayed blepō by eis appearances prosōpon anthrōpos. 17 So oun tell legō us hēmeis, what tis do you sy think dokeō? Is it proper to pay didōmi a tax kēnsos to Caesar Kaisar or ē not ou?” 18 But de Jesus Iēsous, perceiving ginōskō · ho · ho their autos evil ponēria intent , said legō, “ Why tis are you testing peirazō me egō, you hypocrites hypokritēs? 19 Show epideiknymi me egō the ho coin nomisma used for the ho tax kēnsos.” So de they ho brought prospherō him autos a denarius dēnarion. 20 And kai Jesus said legō to them autos, “ Whose tis · ho image eikōn is this houtos, and kai whose · ho inscription epigraphē?” 21 They answered legō him autos, “Caesar’ s Kaisar.” Then tote he said legō to them autos, “ Render apodidōmi therefore oun to Caesar Kaisar the ho things that are Caesar’ s Kaisar, and kai to ho God theos the ho things that are · ho God’ s theos.” 22 · kai When they heard akouō this they were astonished thaumazō, so kai they left aphiēmi him autos and went aperchomai away .

23 On en that ekeinos · ho day hēmera the Sadducees Saddoukaios who say legō there is eimi no resurrection anastasis came proserchomai to him autos and kai posed eperōtaō a question . 24 They said legō, “ Teacher didaskalos, Moses Mōysēs said legō, ‘ If ean a man tis dies apothnēskō having echō no children teknon, his autos brother adelphos must marry epigambreuō · ho · ho his autos widow gynē and kai raise anistēmi up children sperma for ho his autos brother adelphos.’ 25 Now de there were eimi seven hepta brothers adelphos among para us hēmeis; · kai the ho first prōtos one married gameō and died teleutaō, and kai since he had echō no children sperma, he left aphiēmi · ho his autos wife gynē to ho his autos brother adelphos. 26 So homoiōs also kai the ho second deuteros and kai the ho third tritos, and so on to heōs the ho seventh hepta. 27 Finally hysteros, · de the ho woman gynē died apothnēskō as well pas. 28 Therefore oun in en the ho resurrection anastasis, whose tis wife gynē of the ho seven hepta will she be eimi? For gar they all pas had echō married her autos.” 29 Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai · de · ho them autos, saying legō, “ You are mistaken planaō, because you know oida neither the ho Scriptures graphē nor mēde the ho power dynamis of ho God theos. 30 For gar in en the ho resurrection anastasis they will neither oute marry gameō nor oute be given in marriage gamizō, but alla will be eimi like hōs the angels angelos in en · ho heaven ouranos. 31 But de concerning peri the ho resurrection anastasis of the ho dead nekros, have you not ou read anaginōskō what ho was spoken legō to you hymeis by hypo · ho God theos: 32  I egō am eimi the ho God theos of Abraham Abraam and kai the ho God theos of Isaac Isaak and kai the ho God theos of Jacob Iakōb’? He is eimi not ou the ho God theos of the dead nekros but alla of the living zaō.” 33 And kai when the ho crowd ochlos heard akouō this, they were astounded ekplēssō at epi · ho his autos teaching didachē.

34 Now de when the ho Pharisees Pharisaios heard akouō that hoti he had silenced phimoō the ho Sadducees Saddoukaios, they met synagō together epi ho · ho 35 and kai one heis of ek them autos, an expert nomikos in the law , wanted to test peirazō him autos, and asked eperōtaō, 36  Teacher didaskalos, which poios is the greatest megas commandment entolē in en the ho law nomos?” 37 And de he ho said phēmi to him autos, “‘ You shall love agapaō the Lord kyrios · ho your sy God theos with en all holos · ho your sy heart kardia, · kai with en all holos · ho your sy soul psychē, and kai with en all holos · ho your sy mind dianoia.’ 38 This houtos is eimi the ho greatest megas and kai first prōtos commandment entolē. 39 And de a second deuteros is like homoios it autos, ‘ You shall love agapaō · ho your sy neighbor plēsion as hōs yourself seautou.’ 40 On en these houtos · ho two dyo commandments entolē depends kremannymi the ho whole holos Law nomos and kai the ho Prophets prophētēs.”

41 Now de while the ho Pharisees Pharisaios were assembled synagō, Jesus Iēsous put eperōtaō this question to them autos: · ho 42  What tis do you hymeis think dokeō about peri the ho Messiah Christos? Whose tis son hyios is eimi he ?” They said legō to him autos, · ho “David’ s Dauid.” 43 He said legō to them autos, “ How pōs then oun does David Dauid in en the Spirit pneuma call kaleō him autos Lord kyrios,’ saying legō, 44 ‘The Lord kyrios said legō to ho my egō Lord kyrios, “ Sit kathēmai at ek my egō right dexios hand until heōs an I put tithēmi · ho your sy enemies echthros under hypokatō · ho your sy feet pous”’? 45 If ei therefore oun David Dauid calls kaleō him autos Lord kyrios,’ how pōs can he be eimi his autos son hyios?” 46 And kai no oudeis one was able dynamai to answer apokrinomai him autos a word logos, nor oude did anyone tis dare tolmaō to question eperōtaō him autos any more ouketi from apo that ekeinos · ho day hēmera on.
