Mattityahu 22
22
1And, in reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach again spoke in meshalim (parables) to them, saying,
2The Malchut HaShomayim is like a man, a Melech (King), who prepared a feast for the chasunoh (wedding) of Bno.
3And the Melech sent out his servants to summon the Bnei HaChuppah#22:3 Mt 9:15 (wedding invitees) to the chasunoh, and they did not want to come.
4Again, the Melech sent out other servants, saying, Tell the Bnei HaChuppah, the wedding invitees, Hinei! My Seudah I have prepared, my oxen and fattened calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready: Come to the chasunoh!
5But the Bnei HaChuppah, the chasunoh invitees, having treated it all as a mere trifle, departed, one to his farmerʼs field, one to his business.
6Meanwhile, the others seized the Mesharetim HaMelech (Ministers of the King) and abused them and killed them.
7So the Melech was angry and, having sent his armies, the King destroyed those ratzchaniyot (murderers), and their city he burned.
8Then the King says to his ministers, The chasunoh is ready, but the invited ones were not worthy.
9Therefore, go to the intersections of the streets, and, whoever you find, invite as muzmanim (guests) to the chasunoh.
10And having gone out to the highways, those ministers congregated everyone they found, rah and tov, and the chasunoh was filled with muzmanim (guests).
11And the Melech, having entered to see the ones sitting bimesibba (reclining at tish), spotted there a man lacking the attire proper for the chasunoh.#22:11 See Jn 3:3,5
12And the Melech says to him, Chaver, how did you get in here, not having the attire proper for the chasunoh? But the man had nothing to say.
13Then the King said to the servants, Bind him feet and hands and expel him into the outer choshech, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
14For the invited ones are many, but the nivcharim (chosen ones) are few.
15Then, having departed, the Perushim took counsel together so that they might entrap Yehoshua in his own words.
16And they are sending to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach their talmidim with the Herodians, saying, Rabbi, we know that you are an ehrliche Yid (a good Jew) and of the Derech Hashem you give Divrei Torah in Emes, and you show no deference to flesh, for you are impartial toward Bnei Adam.
17Therefore, tell us what to you seems right: is it mutar (permissible) to pay poll tax to Caesar or not?
18But he, having known their rah (evil), said to them, Why do you test me, tzevuim?
19Show me the coin of the poll tax. And they brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach a denarius.
20And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Whose image is this and whose title?
21They say to him, Caesarʼs. Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Give, therefore, unto Caesar the things of Caesar, and the things of Hashem, give unto Hashem.
22And having heard this, they were amazed and, having left Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, they went away.
23On that day some Tzedukim (Sadducees) approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, There is no Techiyas HaMesim! And they interrogated Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach,
24Saying, Rabbi, Moshe Rabbenu said that if someone dies, not having banim, his brother shall marry his isha (wife) to raise up zera (seed) for his brother.
25Now there were among us shiva achim (seven brothers), and the first, having married, died. And not having zera (offspring), left his isha to his brother.
26Likewise, also the second brother, and the third, up to the seventh.
27And last of all, the isha died.
28In the Techiyas HaMesim, therefore, she will be the wife of which of the seven? For all had her.
29And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply to them, You are in error, not having known the Kitvei Hakodesh or the gevurat Hashem (power of G-d).
30For in the Techiyas HaMesim they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like the malachim in Shomayim.
31But concerning the Techiyas HaMesim, have you not read the thing spoken to you by Hashem, saying,
32ANOCHI ELOHEI AVRAHAM ELOHEI YITZCHAK VEELOHEI Ya'akov (I am the G-d of Avraham, the G-d of Yitzchak, and the G-d of Ya'akov)?#22:32 Ex 3:6 Hashem is not the G-d of the Mesim (dead ones) but the G-d of the Chayyim (living).
33And having heard this, the multitudes were amazed at Moshiachʼs torah (teaching).
34But the Perushim, having heard that he silenced the Tzedukim, assembled together,
35And one of them, a Baal Torah (learned Torah scholar, a Ben Torah), tried to trip up Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach with a she'elah (question):
36Rabbi, which mitzvah is gedolah (great) in the Torah?
37And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave this teshuva (answer) to the Baal Torah, VAHAVTAH ES ADONOI ELOHEICHA BCHOL LEVAVCHA UVCHOL NAFSHECHA UVCHOL MODECHA (And thou shalt love the L-rd thy G-d with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might).#22:37 Dt 6:5
38This is the gedolah and rishonah mitzvah.
39And the second mitzvah is like it: VAHAVTAH L'REIACHA KAMOCHA (And thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself).#22:39 Lv 19:18
40On these two mitzvot hang the entire Torah and the Neviim.
41And, the Perushim, having been assembled, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach confronted with this she'elah,
42Saying, What do you think concerning the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach? Whose Ben is he? The Perushim gave this teshuva (answer) to him: Ben Dovid.
43Moshiach says to them, How then can Dovid, in the Ruach Hakodesh, call Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adon? …saying
44NEUM HASHEM LADONI, SHEV LIMINI AD ASHIT OYVECHA HADOM LERAGLECHA#22:44 Ps 110:1 (Utterance of Hashem to my L-rd, Sit at My right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet).
45Therefore, if Dovid calls him Adon,#22:45 i.e., Adoneinu how is Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach [merely] Ben Dovid?#22:45 c.f. Mal 3:1; Zech 4:14
46And no one was able to give an answer to him, nor did anyone dare to pose another she'elah (question) to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach from that day on.

Matthew 22
22
Matthew 22
1¶ And Jesus answered and spoke unto them again by parables and said,
2The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a certain man, a king, who made a marriage feast for his son
3and sent forth his slaves to call those that were invited to the wedding, and they would not come.
4Again, he sent forth other slaves, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my bulls and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come unto the marriage.
5But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise,
6and the others took his slaves and entreated them spitefully and slew them.
7But when the king heard of this, he became angry and sent forth his armies and destroyed those murderers and burned up their city.
8Then he said to his slaves, The wedding is ready, but those who were called were not worthy.
9Go ye therefore into the entrances of the highways and call as many as ye shall find to the marriage.
10So those slaves went out into the highways and gathered together everyone that they found, both bad and good; and the wedding was filled with guests.
11And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on a wedding garment,
12and he said unto him, Friend, how didst thou come in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13Then the king said to the slaves, Bind him hand and foot and take him away and cast him into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14For many are called, but few are chosen.
15¶ Then the Pharisees left and took counsel how they might entangle him in his word.
16And they sent out unto him their disciples with those of Herod, saying, Master, we know that thou art a lover of truth and teachest the way of God with truth and that thou takest care for no man, for thou art no respecter of persons of men.
17Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar or not?
18But Jesus perceived their wickedness and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19Show me the coin of the tribute. And they presented unto him a denarius.
20And he said unto them, Whose is this image and supion?
21They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then said he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s.
22When they had heard these words, they marvelled and left him and went away.
23¶ The same day the Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24saying, Master, Moses said, If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
25Now there were with us seven brothers, and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no seed, left his wife unto his brother;
26likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27And last of all the woman died also.
28Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29Then Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.
30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which is spoken unto you by God, who saith,
32I 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.
33And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
34¶ Then the Pharisees, hearing that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered together.
35And one of them, who was an interpreter of the law, asked him a question, tempting him and saying,
36Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind.
38This is the first and great commandment.
39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41¶ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42saying, What think ye of the Christ? Whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
43He said unto them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45If David then calls him Lord, how is he his son?
46And no one was able to answer him a word, neither dared anyone from that day forth ask him any more questions.
