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
1Yeshua answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying, 2“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son, 3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. 4Again 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 wedding feast!”’ 5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise; 6and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy. 9Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’ 10Those 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 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing, 12and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless. 13Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’ 14For many are called, but few chosen.”
15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk. 16They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Rabbi, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone. 17Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18 But Yeshua perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites? 19Show me the tax money.”
They brought to him a denarius.
20 He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
21 They said to him, “Caesar’s.”
Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him, 24saying, “Rabbi, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring#22:24 or, seed for his brother.’ 25Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh. 27After them all, the woman died. 28In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
29 But Yeshua answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. 30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven. 31But 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’?#Exodus 3:6 God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together. 35One of them, a Torah scholar, asked him a question, testing him. 36“Rabbi, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
37Yeshua said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’#Deuteronomy 6:5 38This is the first and great commandment. 39A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’#Leviticus 19:18 40The whole Torah and the Prophets depend on these two commandments.”
41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Yeshua asked them a question, 42saying, “What do you think of the Messiah? Whose son is he?”
They said to him, “Of David.”
43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord,
sit on my right hand,
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’? #
Psalms 110:1
45 “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
