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.

St Matthew 22
22
1AND Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:
2The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son.
3And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage; and they would not come.
4Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come ye to the marriage.
5But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise.
6And the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.
7But when the king had heard of it, he was angry, and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.
8Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.
9Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.
10And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests.
11And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.
12And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent.
13Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14For many are called, but few are chosen.
15Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech.
16And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men.
17Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
18But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites?
19Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny.
20And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?
21They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's.
22And hearing this they wondered, and leaving him, went their ways.
23That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him,
24Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up issue to his brother.
25Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his brother.
26In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh.
27And last of all the woman died also.
28At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her.
29And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.
31And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you:
32I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33And the multitudes hearing it, were in admiration at his doctrine.
34But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together:
35And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him:
36Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
37Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.
38This is the greatest and the first commandment.
39And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.
41And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42Saying: What think you of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him: David's.
43He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying:
44The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
45If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46And no man was able to answer him a word; neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
