Matthew 22
22
1Then Iesus answered, and spake vnto them againe in parables, saying, 2The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine King which maried his sonne, 3And sent foorth his seruants, to call them that were bidde to the wedding, but they woulde not come. 4Againe hee sent foorth other seruants, saying. Tell them which are bidden, Beholde, I haue prepared my dinner: mine oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all thinges are readie: come vnto the mariage. 5But they made light of it, and went their wayes, one to his farme, and another about his marchandise. 6And the remnant tooke his seruants, and intreated them sharpely, and slewe them. 7But when the King heard it, he was wroth, and sent foorth his warriers, and destroyed those murtherers, and burnt vp their citie. 8Then saide hee to his seruants, Truely the wedding is prepared: but they which were bidden, were not worthy. 9Go ye therefore out into the high wayes, and as many as ye finde, bid them to the mariage. 10So those seruantes went out into the hie wayes, and gathered together all that euer they found, both good and bad: so the wedding was furnished with ghestes. 11Then the King came in, to see the ghestes, and sawe there a man which had not on a wedding garment. 12And he sayd vnto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, and hast not on a wedding garment? And he was speachlesse. 13Then sayd the King to the seruants, Binde him hand and foote: take him away, and cast him into vtter darkenes: there shalbe weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14For many are called, but fewe chosen. 15Then went the Pharises and tooke counsell how they might tangle him in talke. 16And they sent vnto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we knowe that thou art true, and teachest the way of God truely, neither carest for any man: for thou considerest not the person of men. 17Tell vs therefore, how thinkest thou? Is it lawfull to giue tribute vnto Cesar, or not? 18But Iesus perceiued their wickednes, and sayd, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19Shewe me the tribute money. And they brought him a peny. 20And he sayde vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21They sayd vnto him, Cesars. Then sayd he vnto them, Giue therefore to Cesar, the things which are Cesars, and giue vnto God, those things which are Gods. 22And when they heard it, they marueiled, and left him, and went their way. 23The same day the Sadduces came to him (which say that there is no resurrection) and asked him, 24Saying, Master, Moses sayd, If a man die, hauing no children, his brother shall marie his wife by the right of alliance, and raise vp seede vnto his brother. 25Nowe there were with vs seuen brethren, and the first maried a wife, and deceased: and hauing none yssue, left his wife vnto his brother. 26Likewise also the second, and the third, vnto the seuenth. 27And last of all the woman died also. 28Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seuen? for all had her. 29Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Ye are deceiued, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. 30For in the resurrection they neither marie wiues, nor wiues are bestowed in mariage, but are as the Angels of God in heauen. 31And concerning the resurrection of the dead, haue ye not read what is spoken vuto you of God, saying, 32I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the liuing. 33And when the multitude heard it, they were astonied at his doctrine. 34But when the Pharises had heard, that he had put the Sadduces to silence, they assembled together. 35And one of them, which was an expounder of the Lawe, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36Master, which is ye great commandement in the Lawe? 37Iesus sayd to him, Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soule, and with all thy minde. 38This is the first and the great commandement. 39And the second is like vnto this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. 40On these two commandements hangeth the whole Lawe, and the Prophets. 41While the Pharises were gathered together, Iesus asked them, 42Saying, What thinke ye of Christ? whose sonne is he? They sayd vnto him, Dauids. 43He sayd vnto them, How then doeth Dauid in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestoole? 45If then Dauid call him Lord, howe is he his sonne? 46And none could answere him a worde, neither durst any from that day foorth aske him any moe questions.

S. Matthew 22
22
1And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them, saying, 2The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, which made a marriage feast for his son, 3and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come. 4Again he sent forth other 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. 5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise: 6and the rest laid hold on his servants, and entreated them shamefully, and killed them. 7But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. 8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy. 9Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast. 10And those 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. 11But when the king came in to behold 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 the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14For many are called, but few chosen.
15Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might ensnare him in his talk. 16And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, 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. 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? 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, 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. 22And when they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went their way.
23On that day there came to him Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection: and they 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 married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his brother; 26in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27And after them all the woman died. 28In the resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29But 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 angels 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 multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered themselves together. 35And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, 36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37And he 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 great and first commandment. 39And a second like unto it is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments hangeth the whole law, and the prophets.
41Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42saying, What think ye of the Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. 43He saith unto them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying, 44The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet? 45If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son? 46And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
