Matthew 22
22
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.

Matthew 22
22
The Parable of the Wedding Banquet
Lk 14:15–24
1Jesus spoke to them again by parables, saying, 2#Mt 13:24“The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding, but they would not come.
4#Mt 21:36“Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited: See, I have prepared my supper. My oxen and fattened calves are killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5#Heb 2:3“But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his business; 6the rest took his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. 7#Lk 19:27When the king heard about it, he was angry. He sent in his army and destroyed those murderers and burned up their city.
8#Lk 20:35; Ac 13:46“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9Go therefore to the streets, and invite to the wedding banquet as many as you find.’ 10#Mt 13:47–48So those servants went out into the streets and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11#2Ki 10:22; Zec 3:3–4“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man who was not wearing wedding garments. 12#Mt 20:13; 26:50He said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without wedding garments?’ And he was speechless.
13#Mt 8:12; 25:30; 13:42“Then the king told the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14#Rev 17:14“For many are called, but few are chosen.”
The Question of Paying Taxes
Mk 12:13–17; Lk 20:20–26
15#Mk 12:13–17; Lk 20:20–26Then the Pharisees went and took counsel to entangle Him in His words. 16#Mk 3:6; 8:15They sent their disciples to Him with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God truthfully, and are swayed by no one. For You do not regard the person of men. 17#Lk 2:1; Mt 17:25Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18#Jn 8:6But Jesus perceived their wickedness and said, “Why test Me, you hypocrites? 19Show Me the tax money.” They brought Him a denarius. 20He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
21#Ro 13:7They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”
Then He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22#Mk 12:12When they heard these words, they were amazed, and left Him and went on their way.
The Question About the Resurrection
Mk 12:18–27; Lk 20:27–40
23#Mt 3:7; Ac 4:1The same day the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, 24“Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry his wife and raise up children for his brother.’#Dt 25:5. 25Now there were seven brothers with us. The first died after he married and, having no children, left his wife to his brother. 26Likewise the second and third, on to the seventh. 27Last of all, the woman died also. 28Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
29#Jn 20:9Jesus answered, “You err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30#Ps 103:20; Mt 18:10For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels of God in heaven. 31#Mt 21:16But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, 32#Ex 3:6; Ac 7:32‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’#Ex 3:6.? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
The Great Commandment
Mk 12:28–34; Lk 10:25–28
34When the Pharisees heard that He silenced the Sadducees, they came together. 35#Lk 7:30; 14:3One of them, who was a lawyer, tested Him by asking Him, 36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
37#Dt 6:5; Lk 10:27Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’#Dt 6:5. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39#Lev 19:18; Mt 19:19; Gal 5:14And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’#Lev 19:18. 40#Mt 7:12On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
The Question About David’s Son
Mk 12:35–37; Lk 20:41–44
41#Mk 12:35–37; Lk 20:41–44While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them, 42#Mt 1:1“What do you think of the Christ? Whose Son is He?”
They said to Him, “The Son of David.”
43#2Sa 23:2; Rev 4:2He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:
44#Ps 110:1; 1Co 15:25; Heb 1:13 ‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
until I make Your enemies
Your footstool” ’?#Ps 110:1.
45#Ro 1:3–4If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?” 46#Mk 12:34; Lk 20:40No one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare to ask Him any more questions.
