Mattithyahu (Matthew) 22
22
1And יהושע responded and spoke to them again by parables and said,
2“The reign of the heavens is like a man, a sovereign, who made a wedding feast for his son,
3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast. But they would not come.
4Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Say to those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle are slaughtered, and all is ready. Come to the wedding feast.” ’
5“But they disregarded it and went their way – this one to his field, that one to his trade.
6“And the rest, having seized his servants, insulted and killed them.
7“But when the sovereign heard, he was wroth, and sent out his soldiers, destroyed those murderers, and set their city on fire.
8“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast, indeed, is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9Therefore go into the street corners, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding feast.’
10“And those servants went out into the street corners and gathered all whom they found, both wicked and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11And when the sovereign came in to view the guests, he saw there a man who had not put on a wedding garment,”
12and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not having a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless.
13“Then the sovereign said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him out into the outer darkness – there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14“For many are called, but few are chosen.”#See Mat. 20:16
15Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap Him in His words.
16And they sent to Him their taught ones with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of Elohim in truth, and it does not concern You about anyone, for You are not partial to any man.
17Then say to us, what do You think? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
18But knowing their wickedness, יהושע said, “Why do you try Me, you hypocrites?
19Show Me the coin of the tax. And they brought Him a denarius.#Roman monetary unit.
20And He said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?”
21They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” And He said to them, “Then give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to Elohim what is Elohim’s.”
22And having heard, they marvelled, and left Him and went away.
23On that day Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,
24saying, “Teacher, Mosheh said that if anyone should die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise offspring for his brother.# Deu. 25:5
25“And there were with us seven brothers, and the first died after he had married, and having no children, left his wife to his brother.
26“In the same way the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27“And last of all the woman died too.
28“At the resurrection, then, whose wife of the seven shall she be – for all had her?”
29And יהושע answering, said to them, “You go astray, not knowing the Scriptures#See Mark 12:24 nor the power of Elohim.
30“For in the resurrection they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of Elohim in heaven.
31And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by Elohim, saying,”
32‘I am the Elohim of Aḇraham, and the Elohim of Yitsḥaq, and the Elohim of Ya‛aqoḇ’?# Exo. 3:6 Elohim is not the Elohim of the dead, but of the living.”
33And when the crowds heard, they were astonished at His teaching.
34But the Pharisees, having heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, were gathered together,
35and one of them, one learned in the Torah, did question, trying Him, and saying,
36Teacher, which is the great command in the Torah?
37And יהושע said to him, " ‘You shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your mind.’# Deu. 6:5
38“This is the first and great command.
39And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’# Lev. 19:18
40On these two commands hang all the Torah and the Prophets.
41And when the Pharisees were gathered together, יהושע asked them,
42saying, “What do you think concerning the Messiah? Whose Son is He?” They said to Him, “The Son of Dawiḏ.”
43He said to them, “Then how does Dawiḏ in the Spirit call Him ‘Master,’ saying,
44‘יהוה said to my Master, “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool of Your feet” ’?# Psa. 110:1
45If then Dawiḏ calls Him ‘Master,’ how is He his Son?
46And no one was able to answer Him a word, and from that day on no one was bold enough to ask Him any more questions.

The Parable of the Marriage Feast
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.
11And 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. 13#Matt 8.12; 25.30; Luke 13.28. Then 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.
Paying Taxes to Caesar
(Mark 12.13-17; Luke 20.20-26)
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 Hero´di-ans, 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 Caesar, or not? 18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19Show 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 which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. 22When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left him, and went their way.
The Question about the Resurrection
(Mark 12.18-27; Luke 20.27-40)
23 #
Acts 23.8. The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24#Deut 25.5. saying, 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, 32#Exod 3.6. I 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.
The Great Commandment
(Mark 12.28-34)
34But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35#Luke 10.25-28. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37#Deut 6.5. Jesus 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. 39#Lev 19.18. And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
The Question about David's Son
(Mark 12.35-37; Luke 20.41-44)
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 #
Ps 110.1. The Lord said unto my Lord,
Sit thou on my right hand,
till I make thine 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.
