Matthew 22
22
1Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered and spoke to them again in the words of a parable.
2“The Kingdom of heaven is like a king who made a wedding ceremony”
3“He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the wedding ceremony, but they did not wish to come”.
4“He again sent other servants saying: ‘Tell those who are invited, behold I have prepared a feast, I have killed oxen and fowl, and all is ready. Come to the wedding ceremony’”.
5“But they scorned and went away, some into the city and some to their businesses”.
6“Others took his servants, abused them, and killed them”.
7“The king heard this, was angry, sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burnt their house with fire”.
8“Then he said to his servants: ‘The marriage ceremony is ready, but those who were invited were unworthy’”.
9“Now, go out unto the roads and all whom you find invite to the marriage ceremony”.
10“His servants went out unto the ways and assembled all those who were found, good and bad; so the marriage ceremony was filled with those who were eating”.
11“The king entered to see those who were eating and saw there a man who was not clothed in wedding garments”.
12“He said to him: ‘My friend how did you come in here without wedding garments?’ He was silent”.
13“Then the king said to his servants: ‘Bind his hands and feet and cast him to the lower most and lowest hell; in that place will be weeping and gnashing of teeth’”.
14“Many are called but few are chosen.”
15Then the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] came and took counsel how to trap him in what he said.
16They sent him some of their disciples, with violent men from Herod [heroic] saying: ‘Rabbi, we know that you are faithful, you faithfully study the way of Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God], you fear nothing, and are impartial’.
17‘Tell us your opinion: Is it right to give tribute to Caesar [venerable] or not?’
18Yeshua [God is Salvation] recognized their deceit and said: “Why do you entice me, hypocrites?”
19“Show me a tax coin”. They brought a plain one to him.
20He said to them: “Whose likeness is this and inscription?”
21They said: ‘Caesar [venerable]’s’. Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to them: “Return to Caesar [venerable] that which is Caesar [venerable]’s and to Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God] that which is Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God]’s”.
22They heard and were amazed. They left him and went away.
23On that day, the Tz’dukim (Sadducees) [followers of the right] and those who deny the resurrection of the dead met him. They asked him
24saying: ‘Rabbi, Moshe [drawn out] surely said to us: “When brothers dwell together and one of them dies and has no son, his brother should take his wife to raise up the seed of his brother”.
25‘Behold there were seven brothers among us. The first one took a wife, died without seed and his brother married his wife’.
26‘Likewise the second and third unto the seventh’.
27‘After them the woman died’.
28‘Since she had already belonged to all of them, to which of the seven will she be a wife, in the resurrection?’
29Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered and said to them: “You err and do not understand the Writings or the power of The Mighty One”.
30“In the day of resurrection, men will not take women nor women men, but they will be like the angels of Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God] in heaven”.
31“Have you not read concerning the resurrection of the dead that Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] spoke to you saying”:
32“I, Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], am Elohe Avraham [the God of Exalted Father], Elohe Yitz’chak [the God of Laughter], and Elohe Ya’akov [the God if He who grabs onto the heal of]”?. If so He is not Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God] of the dead but Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God] of the living”
33The crowds heard and were amazed at his wisdom.
34When the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] saw that the Tz’dukim (Sadducees) [followers of the right] had no answer, they gathered together.
35Then a scribe asked him, tempting him:
36‘Rabbi, tell us which is the greatest commandment in the Torah?’
37He said to him: “Thou shalt love Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] your Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God] with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength”.
38“This is the first and great commandment.”
39“The second is like it: “Thou shalt love your neighbour as yourself”
40“Upon these two commandments the whole law hangs and the prophets”
41The P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] assembled and Yeshua [God is Salvation] asked them
42saying: “What is your opinion concerning Ha-Moshiach [Messiah] [The Messiah], whose son will he be? They said to him: ‘The son of David [Beloved].’
43He said to them: “How is it that David [Beloved] by Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit [Ruach]) called him saying ‘Adon [Lord - Kurios of the Earth]’”,;
44“as it is written: “Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] said to my Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth] sit at My right hand until I make your enemies your footstool”
45“If David [Beloved] called him ‘Adon [Lord - Kurios of the Earth]’, how is he his son?”
46They were not able to answer him a word and from then on they feared to ask him anything.

Matthew 22
22
The Wedding Garment
1And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 4Again, 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. 5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6and the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10So 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: 12and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13Then 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. 14For many are called, but few are chosen.
Tribute to Cæsar
15Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. 16And 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. 17Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not? 18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. 20And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21They say unto him, Cæsar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar's; and unto God the things that are God's. 22When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
Silencing the Sadducees
23The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25Now 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: 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. 29Jesus 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 as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 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.
Reproving the Pharisees
34But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35Then one of them, which was a lawyer, 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.
41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. 43He 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? 46And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
