# Chapter 22
|
|
1. And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said:
|
|
2. *"The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son,*
|
|
3. *and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come.*
|
|
4. *Again, he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding." '*
|
|
5. *But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business.*
|
|
6. *And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them.*
|
|
7. *But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.*
|
|
8. *Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.*
|
|
9. *Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.'*
|
|
10. *So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.*
|
|
|
|
11. *"But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.*
|
|
12. *So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.*
|
|
13. *Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'*
|
|
|
|
14. *"For many are called, but few are chosen."*The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?
|
|
|
|
15. Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk.
|
|
16. And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not regard the person of men.
|
|
17. Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"
|
|
|
|
18. But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, *"Why do you test Me, you hypocrites?*
|
|
19. *Show Me the tax money."*
|
|
So they brought Him a denarius.
|
|
|
|
20. And He said to them, *"Whose image and inscription is this?"*
|
|
|
|
21. They said to Him, "Caesar's."
|
|
And He said to them, *"Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."*
|
|
22. When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.The Sadducees: What About the Resurrection?
|
|
|
|
23. The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,
|
|
24. saying: "Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
|
|
25. Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.
|
|
26. Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh.
|
|
27. Last of all the woman died also.
|
|
28. Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her."
|
|
|
|
29. Jesus answered and said to them, *"You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.*
|
|
30. *For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.*
|
|
31. *But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,*
|
|
32. *'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."*
|
|
33. And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?
|
|
|
|
34. But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.
|
|
35. Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,
|
|
36. "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"
|
|
|
|
37. Jesus said to him, *"'You shall love the Lord* your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
|
|
38. *This is the first and great commandment.*
|
|
39. *And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'*
|
|
40. *On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."*Jesus: How Can David Call His Descendant Lord?
|
|
|
|
41. While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
|
|
42. saying, *"What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?"*
|
|
They said to Him, "The Son of David."
|
|
|
|
43. He said to them, *"How then does David in the Spirit call Him 'Lord,' saying:*
|
|
|
|
44. *'The Lord* said to my Lord,
|
|
*"Sit at My right hand,*
|
|
*Till I make Your enemies Your footstool" '?*
|
|
|
|
45. *If David then calls Him 'Lord,' how is He his Son?"*
|
|
46. And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore.
