Matthew 22
22
CHAPTER 22
1And Jesus answered, and spake again in parables to them, and said,
2The kingdom of heavens is made like to a king that made weddings to his son.
3And he sent his servants to call men that were bidden to the weddings, and they would not come.
4Again he sent other servants, and said, Say to the men that be bidden to the feast, Lo! I have made ready my meat, my bulls and my volatiles, [or my fat beasts], be slain, and all things be ready; come ye to the weddings.
5But they despised, [or reckoned not], and went forth, one into his town [or vineyard], another to his merchandise.
6But others held his servants, and tormented them, and slew [them].
7But the king, when he had heard, was wroth; and he sent his hosts, and destroyed those man-quellers, and burnt their city.
8Then he said to his servants, The weddings be ready, but they that were called to the feast, were not worthy.
9Therefore go ye into the ends of ways, and whomever ye find, call ye to the weddings.
10And his servants went out into the ways, and gathered together all that they found, good and evil; and the bridal was [or the weddings be] full-filled with men sitting at the meat.
11And the king entered, to see men sitting at the meat; and he saw there a man not clothed with bride [or bridal] clothes.
12And he said to him, Friend, how enteredest thou hither without bride clothes? And he was dumb.
13Then the king bade [or said to] his ministers, Bind him both hands and feet, and send ye him into outer-more [or uttermore] darknesses; there shall be weeping, and grinding of teeth.
14For many be called, but few be chosen.
15Then Pharisees went away, and took a counsel [or took counsel] to take Jesus in word.
16And they send to him their disciples, with Herodians, and said, Master, we know, that thou art soothfast, and thou teachest in truth the way of God, and thou chargest not [or there is no care to thee] of any man, for thou beholdest not the person of men.
17Therefore say to us, what seemeth to thee. Is it leaveful that tribute be given to the emperor [or Caesar], either [or] nay?
18And when Jesus had known the wickedness of them, he said, Hypocrites, what tempt ye me?
19Show ye to me the print of the money. And they brought to him a penny.
20And Jesus said to them, Whose is this image, and the writing above?
21They say to him, The emperor’s [or Of Caesar]. Then he said to them, Therefore yield ye to the emperor [or Caesar] those things that be the emperor’s [or Caesar’s], and to God those things that be of God.
22And they heard, and wondered; and they left him, and went away.
23In that day Sadducees, that say there is no rising again to life, came to him, and asked him,
24and said, Master, Moses said, if any man is dead, not having a son, that his brother wed his wife, and raise seed to his brother.
25And there were seven brethren to us; and the first wedded a wife, and is dead. And he had no seed, and left his wife to his brother;
26also the second, and the third, till to the seventh.
27But the last of all, [also] the woman is dead.
28Also [or Therefore] in the rising again to life, whose wife of the seven shall she be? for all had her.
29Jesus answered, and said to them, Ye err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the virtue of God.
30For in the rising again to life, neither they shall wed, neither shall be wedded; but they be as the angels of God in heaven.
31And of the rising again of dead men, have ye not read, that [it] is said of the Lord, that saith to you,
32I am God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob? he is not God of dead men, but of living men.
33And the people hearing, wondered on his teaching.
34And the Pharisees heard that he had put silence to Sadducees, and came together.
35And one of them, a teacher of the law, asked Jesus, and tempted him,
36Master, which is a great command-ment in the law?
37Jesus said to him, Thou shalt love thy Lord God [or the Lord thy God], of all thine heart, and in all thy soul, and in all thy mind.
38This is the first and the most commandment.
39And the second is like to this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40In these two commandments hangeth all the law and the prophets.
41And when the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42and said, What seemeth to you of Christ, whose son is he? They say to him, Of David.
43He saith to them, How then David in spirit calleth him Lord, and saith,
44The Lord said to my Lord, Sit [thou] on my right half, till I put thine enemies a stool of thy feet?
45Then if David calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
46And no man might answer a word to him, neither any man was hardy from that day, to ask him more.

Matthew 22
22
1And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them, saying, 2The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, who 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 treated 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 who 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 the 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, 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 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 make ye trial of me, ye hypocrites? 19Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a denarius. 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 that are Cæsar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s. 22And when they heard it, they marvelled, and left him, and went away.
23On that day there came to him Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him, 24saying, Teacher, 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, trying him: 36Teacher, 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 neighbor as thyself. 40On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, 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.
