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.

Matthew 22
22
1And Jesus answering spoke to them again in parables, saying, 2The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son, 3and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come. 4Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast. 5But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce. 6And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew them. 7And when the king heard of it he was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy; 9go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast. 10And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests. 11And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment. 12And he says to him, My friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But he was speechless. 13Then said the king to the servants, Bind him feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 14For many are called ones, but few chosen ones.
15Then went the Pharisees and held a council how they might ensnare him in speaking. 16And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one, for thou regardest not men's person; 17tell us therefore what thou thinkest: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 18But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites? 19Shew me the money of the tribute. And they presented to him a denarius. 20And he says to them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Pay then what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God. 22And when they heard him, they wondered, and left him, and went away.
23On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him, 24saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife and shall raise up seed to his brother. 25Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to his brother. 26In like manner also the second and the third, unto the seven. 27And last of all the woman also died. 28In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven shall she be wife, for all had her? 29And Jesus answering said to them, Ye 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 of God in heaven. 31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, 32I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of the dead, but of the living. 33And when the crowds heard it they were astonished at his doctrine.
34But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together. 35And one of them, a lawyer, demanded, tempting him, and saying, 36Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? 37And he said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy understanding. 38This is the great and first commandment. 39And the second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments the whole law and the prophets hang.
41And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus demanded of them, 42saying, What think ye concerning the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, David's. 43He says to them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying, 44The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies under thy feet? 45If therefore David call him Lord, how is he his son? 46And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did any one dare from that day to question him any more.
