And{G2532} Jesus{G2424} answered{G611} and spake{G2036} again{G3825} in{G1722} parables{G3850} unto them,{G846} saying,{G3004}

The kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is likened unto{G3666} a certain{G444} king,{G935} who{G3748} made{G4160} a marriage{G1062} feast for{G5207} his{G846} son,{G5207}

and{G2532} sent forth{G649} his{G846} servants{G1401} to call{G2564} them that were bidden{G2564} to{G1519} the marriage{G1062} feast: and{G2532} they would{G2309} not{G3756} come.{G2064}

Again{G3825} he sent forth{G649} other{G243} servants,{G1401} saying,{G3004} Tell{G2036} them that are bidden,{G2564} Behold,{G2400} I have made ready{G2090} my{G3450} dinner;{G712} my{G3450} oxen{G5022} and{G2532} my fatlings{G4619} are killed,{G2380} and{G2532} all things{G3956} are ready:{G2092} come{G1205} to{G1519} the marriage{G1062} feast.

But{G1161} they made light of{G272} it, and went their ways,{G565} one{G3588} to{G1519} his{G2398} own farm,{G68} another{G3588} to{G1519} his{G2398} merchandise;{G1711}

and{G1161} the rest{G3062} laid{G2902} hold on his{G846} servants,{G1401} and{G2532} treated them shamefully,{G5195} and{G2532} killed{G615} them.

But{G1161} the{G191} king{G935} was wroth;{G3710} and{G2532} he sent{G3992} his{G846} armies,{G4753} and{G2532} destroyed{G622} those{G1565} murderers,{G5406} and{G2532} burned{G1714} their{G846} city.{G4172}

Then{G5119} saith he{G3004} to{G1401} his{G846} servants,{G3303} The wedding{G1062} is{G2076} ready,{G2092} but{G1161} they that were bidden{G2564} were{G2258} not{G3756} worthy.{G514}

Go ye{G4198} therefore{G3767} unto{G1909} the{G1327} partings of the highways,{G3598} and{G2532} as many{G3745} as{G302} ye shall find,{G2147} bid{G2564} to{G1519} the marriage{G1062} feast.

And{G2532} those{G1565} servants{G1401} went out{G1831} into{G1519} the highways,{G3598} and gathered together{G4863} all{G3956} as many as{G3745} they found,{G2147} both{G5037} bad{G4190} and{G2532} good:{G18} and{G2532} the wedding{G1062} was filled{G4130} with guests.{G345}

But{G1161} when{G1525} the king{G935} came in{G1525} to behold{G2300} the guests,{G345} he saw{G1492} there{G1563} a man{G444} who had{G1746} not{G3756} on{G1746} a wedding-{G1062} garment:{G1062}

and{G2532} he saith{G3004} unto him,{G846} Friend,{G2083} how{G4459} camest thou in{G1525} hither{G5602} not{G3361} having{G2192} a{G1742} wedding-{G1062} garment?{G1742} And{G1161} he was speechless.{G5392}

Then{G5119} the king{G935} said{G2036} to the servants,{G1249} Bind{G1210} him{G846} hand{G5495} and{G2532} foot,{G4228} and cast{G1544} him out into{G1519} the outer{G1857} darkness;{G4655} there{G1563} shall be{G2071} the weeping{G2805} and{G2532} the gnashing{G1030} of teeth.{G3599}

For{G1063} many{G4183} are{G1526} called,{G2822} but{G1161} few{G3641} chosen.{G1588}

Then{G5119} went{G4198} the Pharisees,{G5330} and took{G2983} counsel{G4824} how{G3704} they might ensnare{G3802} him{G846} in{G1722} [his] talk.{G3056}

And{G2532} they send to{G649} him{G846} their{G846} disciples,{G3101} with{G3326} the Herodians,{G2265} saying,{G3004} Teacher,{G1320} we know{G1492} that{G3754} thou art{G1488} true,{G227} and{G2532} teachest{G1321} the way{G3598} of God{G2316} in{G1722} truth,{G2532} and carest{G3199} not{G3756} for{G4012} any{G3762} one: for{G4012} thou{G4671} regardest{G991} not{G3756} the person{G4383} of men.{G444}

Tell{G2036} us{G2254} therefore,{G3767} What{G5101} thinkest{G1380} thou?{G4671} Is it lawful{G1832} to give{G1325} tribute{G2778} unto Caesar,{G2541} or{G2228} not?{G3756}

But{G1161} Jesus{G2424} perceived{G1097} their{G846} wickedness,{G4189} and said,{G2036} Why{G5101} make ye{G3985} trial of me,{G3165} ye hypocrites?{G5273}

Show{G1925} me{G3427} the tribute{G2778} money.{G3546} And{G1161} they brought{G4374} unto him{G846} a denarius.{G1220}

And{G2532} he saith{G3004} unto them,{G846} Whose{G5101} is this{G3778} image{G1504} and{G2532} superscription?{G1923}

They say{G3004} unto him,{G846} Caesar's.{G2541} Then{G5119} saith he{G3004} unto them,{G846} Render{G591} therefore{G3767} unto Caesar{G2541} the things that are Caesar's;{G2541} and{G2532} unto God{G2316} the things that are God's.{G2316}

And when{G2532} they heard{G191} it, they marvelled,{G2296} and{G2532} left{G863} him,{G846} and went away.{G565}

On{G2250} that{G1565} day{G2250} there came{G4334} to him{G846} Sadducees,{G4523} they that say that{G3004} there is{G1511} no{G3361} resurrection:{G386} and{G2532} they asked{G1905} him,{G846}

saying,{G3004} Teacher,{G1320} Moses{G3475} said,{G2036} If{G1437} a man{G5100} die,{G599} having{G2192} no{G3361} children,{G5043} his{G846} brother{G80} shall marry{G1918} his{G846} wife,{G1135} and{G2532} raise up{G450} seed{G4690} unto{G80} his{G846} brother.{G80}

Now{G1161} there were{G2258} with{G3844} us{G2254} seven{G2033} brethren:{G80} and{G2532} the first{G4413} married{G1060} and deceased,{G5053} and{G2532} having{G2192} no{G3361} seed{G4690} left{G863} his{G846} wife{G1060} unto{G80} his{G846} brother;{G80}

in like manner{G3668} the second{G1208} also,{G2532} and{G2532} the third,{G5154} unto{G2193} the seventh.{G2033}

And{G1161} after{G5305} them all,{G3956} the woman{G1135} died.{G599}

In{G1722} the resurrection{G386} therefore{G3767} whose{G5101} wife{G1135} shall she be{G2071} of the seven?{G2033} for{G1063} they{G2192} all{G3956} had{G2192} her.{G846}

But Jesus{G2424} answered{G611} and said{G2036} unto them,{G846} Ye do err,{G4105} not{G3361} knowing{G1492} the scriptures,{G1124} nor{G3366} the power{G1411} of God.{G2316}

For{G1063} in{G1722} the resurrection{G386} they{G1060} neither{G3777} marry,{G1060} nor{G3777} are given in marriage,{G1547} but{G235} are{G1526} as{G5613} angels{G32} in{G1722} heaven.{G3772}

But{G1161} as touching{G4012} the resurrection{G386} of the dead,{G3498} have ye{G314} not{G3756} read{G314} that which was spoken{G4483} unto you{G5213} by{G5259} God,{G2316} saying,{G3004}

I{G1473} am{G1510} the God{G2316} of Abraham,{G11} and{G2532} the God{G2316} of Isaac,{G2464} and{G2532} the God{G2316} of Jacob?{G2384} God{G2316} is{G2076} not{G3756} [the God]{G2316} of the dead,{G3498} but{G235} of the living.{G2198}

And{G2532} when{G191} the multitudes{G3793} heard{G191} it, they were astonished{G1605} at{G1909} his{G846} teaching.{G1322}

But{G1161} the Pharisees,{G5330} when{G191} they heard{G191} that{G3754} he had put{G5392} the Sadducees{G4523} to silence,{G5392} gathered{G4863} themselves together.{G846}

And{G2532} one{G1520} of{G1537} them,{G846} a lawyer,{G3544} asked{G1905} him{G846} a question, trying{G3985} him:{G846}

Teacher,{G1320} which{G4169} is the{G1785} great{G3173} commandment{G1785} in{G1722} the law?{G3551}

And he{G2424} said{G2036} unto him,{G846} Thou shalt love{G25} the Lord{G2962} thy{G4675} God{G2316} with{G1722} all{G3650} thy{G4675} heart,{G2588} and{G2532} with{G1722} all{G3650} thy{G4675} soul,{G5590} and{G2532} with{G1722} all{G3650} thy{G4675} mind.{G1271}

This{G3778} is{G2076} the great{G3173} and{G2532} first{G4413} commandment.{G1785}

And{G1161} a second{G1208} like{G3664} [unto it]{G3778} is this, Thou shalt love{G25} thy{G4675} neighbor{G4139} as{G5613} thyself.{G4572}

On{G1722} these{G3778} two{G1417} commandments{G1785} the whole{G3650} law{G3551} hangeth,{G2910} and{G2532} the prophets.{G4396}

Now while{G1161} the Pharisees{G5330} were gathered together,{G4863} Jesus{G2424} asked{G1905} them{G846} a question,

saying,{G3004} What{G5101} think{G1380} ye{G5213} of{G4012} the Christ?{G5547} whose{G5101} son{G5207} is he?{G2076} They say{G3004} unto him,{G846} [The son] of David.{G1138}

He saith{G3004} unto them,{G846} How{G4459} then{G3767} doth{G2564} David{G1138} in{G1722} the Spirit{G4151} call{G2564} him{G846} Lord,{G2962} saying,{G3004}

The Lord{G2962} said{G2036} unto{G2962} my{G3450} Lord,{G2962} Sit thou{G2521} on{G1537} my{G3450} right hand,{G1188} Till{G2193} I{G302} put{G5087} thine{G4675} enemies{G2190} underneath{G4228} thy{G4675} feet?

If{G1487} David{G1138} then{G3767} calleth{G2564} him{G846} Lord,{G2962} how{G4459} is he{G2076} his{G846} son?{G5207}

And{G2532} no one{G3762} was able{G1410} to answer{G611} him{G846} a word,{G3056} neither{G3761} durst{G5111} any{G5100} man from{G575} that{G1565} day{G2250} forth{G575} ask{G1905} him{G846} any more{G3765} questions.
