CHAPTER 22.
1 AND Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them,
saying:
2 The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made
a marriage for his son.
3 And he sent his servants, to call them that were
invited to the marriage; and they would not come.
4 Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that
were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my beeves and fatlings are
killed, and all things are ready: come ye to the marriage.
5 But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to
his farm, and another to his merchandise.
6 And the rest laid hands on his servants, and having
treated them contumeliously, put them to death.
7 But when the king had heard of it, he was angry, and
sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.
8 Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is
ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you
shall find, call to the marriage.
10 And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered
together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled
with guests.
11 And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw
there a man who had not on a wedding garment.
12 And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in
hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent.
13 Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands
and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
15 Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves
how to insnare him in his speech.
16 And they sent to him their disciples with the
Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and teachest
the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not
regard the person of men.
17 Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful
to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you
tempt me, ye hypocrites?
19 Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered
him a penny.
20 And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription
is this?
21 They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them:
Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things
that are God's.
22 And hearing this they wondered, and leaving
him, went their ways.
23 That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say
there is no resurrection; and asked him,
24 Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having
no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up issue to his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first
having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his
brother.
26 In like manner the second, and the third, and so on
to the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
28 At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the
seven shall she be? for they all had her.
29 And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not
knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor
be married; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.
31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have
you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you:
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 And the multitudes hearing it, were in admiration at
his doctrine.
34 But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the
Sadducees, came together:
35 And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him,
tempting him:
36 Master, which is the greatest commandment in the
law?
37 Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.
38 This is the greatest and the first commandment.
39 And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments dependeth the whole law
and the prophets.
41 And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus
asked them,
42 Saying: What think you of Christ? whose son is he?
They say to him: David's.
43 He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call
him Lord, saying:
44 The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand,
until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no man was able to answer him a word; neither
durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
