Jesusg2424 spokeg3004 to them againg3825 in parablesg3850b, sayingg3004,

2

aThe kingdomg932 of heaveng3772  1may be comparedg3666 to  2a kingg444g935 whog3748  3gaveg4160 a  bweddingg1062 feastg1062 for his song5207.

3

"And he  asentg649 out his slavesg1401 to callg2564 thoseg3588 who had been invitedg2564 to the weddingg1062 feastg1062, and they were unwillingg3756g2309 to comeg2064.

4

"Againg3825 he  asentg649 out otherg243 slavesg1401 sayingg3004, `Tellg3004 thoseg3588 who have been invitedg2564, "Beholdg2400, I have preparedg2090 my dinnerg712; my oxeng5022 and my fattenedg4619b livestockg4619b are all butcheredg2380 and everythingg3956 is readyg2092; comeg1205 to the weddingg1062 feastg1062."'

5

"But they paidg272 nog272 attentiong272 and wentg565 their wayg565, oneg3739 to his owng2398  1farmg68, anotherg3739g1161 to his businessg1171,

6

and the restg3062 seizedg2902 his slavesg1401 and mistreatedg5195 them and killedg615 them.

7

"But the kingg935 was enragedg3710, and he sentg3992 his armiesg4753 and destroyedg622 thoseg1565 murderersg5406 and setg1705b their cityg4172 on fireg1705b.

8

"Theng5119 he *saidg3004 to his slavesg1401, `The weddingg1062 is readyg2092, but thoseg3588 who were invitedg2564 were not worthyg514.

9

`Gog4198 thereforeg3767 to  athe maing1327b highwaysg3598, and as manyg3745 as you findg2147 there, inviteg2564 to the weddingg1062 feastg1062.'

10

"Thoseg1565 slavesg1401 wentg1831 out into the streetsg3598 and gatheredg4863 togetherg4863 allg3956 they foundg2147, bothg5037 evilg4190 and goodg18; and the weddingg3567 hallg3567 was filledg4092a with  1dinnerg345 guestsg345.

11

"But when the kingg935 cameg1525 in to lookg2300 overg2300 the dinnerg345 guestsg345, he sawg3708  aa mang444 thereg1563 who was not dressedg1746a in weddingg1062 clothesg1742,

12

and he *saidg3004 to him, ` aFriendg2083, howg4459 did you comeg1525 in hereg5602 withoutg3361g2192 weddingg1062 clothesg1742?' And the man was speechlessg5392.

13

"Theng5119 the kingg935 saidg3004 to the servantsg1249, `Bindg1210 him handg5495 and footg4228, and throwg1544b him into  athe outerg1857 darknessg4655; in that placeg1563 thereg1563 will be weepingg2805 and gnashingg1030 of teethg3599.'

14

"For manyg4183 are  1 acalledg2822, but fewg3641 are  achoseng1588."

Tribute to Caesar

15

 aTheng5119 the Phariseesg5330 wentg4198 and  1plottedg4824 togetherg4824 howg3704 they might trapg3802 Him  2in what He saidg3056.

16

And they *sentg649 their disciplesg3101 to Him, along with the  aHerodiansg2265, sayingg3004, "Teacherg1320, we knowg3609a that You are truthfulg227 and teachg1321 the wayg3598 of Godg2316 in truthg225, and  1deferg3199 to nog3762 oneg3762; for You are not partialg991g4383 to anyg3762.

17

"Tellg3004 us theng3767, whatg5101 do You thinkg1380? Is it  1lawfulg1832 to giveg1325 a  apoll-taxg2778b to  bCaesarg2541, org2228 not?"

18

But Jesusg2424 perceivedg1097 their  1maliceg4189, and saidg3004, "Whyg5101 are you testingg3985 Me, you hypocritesg5273?

19

"Showg1925 Me the  acoing3546 used for the poll-taxg2778b." And they broughtg4374 Him a  1denariusg1220.

20

And He *saidg3004 to them, "Whoseg5101 likenessg1504 and inscriptiong1923 is thisg3778?"

21

They *saidg3004 to Him, "Caesar'sg2541." Theng5119 He *saidg3004 to them, aTheng3767 renderg591 to Caesarg2541 the things that are Caesar'sg2541; and to Godg2316 the things that are God'sg2316."

22

And hearingg191 this, they were amazedg2296, and  aleavingg863 Him, they wentg565 awayg565.

Jesus Answers the Sadducees

23

 aOn that dayg2250 some  bSadduceesg4523 (who sayg3004  cthere is nog3361 resurrectiong386) cameg4334 to Jesus and questionedg1905 Him,

24

askingg3004, "Teacherg1320, Mosesg3475 saidg3004, ` aIFg1437 A MANg5100 DIESg599 HAVINGg2192 NOg3361 CHILDRENg5043, HIS BROTHERg80 AS NEXT OF KIN SHALL MARRYg1918 HIS WIFEg1135, AND RAISEg450 UP CHILDRENg5043 FOR HIS BROTHERg80.'

25

"Nowg1161 there were seveng2033 brothersg80 with us; and the firstg4413 marriedg1060 and diedg5053, and havingg2192 nog3361 childreng4690 leftg863 his wifeg1135 to his brotherg80;

26

sog3668 alsog2532 the secondg1208, and the thirdg5154, downg2193 to the seventhg2033.

27

"Lastg5305 of allg3956, the womang1135 diedg599.

28

"In the resurrectiong386, thereforeg3767, whoseg5101 wifeg1135 of the seveng2033 will she be? For they allg3956 hadg2192 married her."

29

But Jesusg2424 answeredg611 and saidg3004 to them, "You are mistakeng4105,  anot  1understandingg3609a the Scripturesg1124 norg3366 the powerg1411 of Godg2316.

30

"For in the resurrectiong386 they neitherg3777  amarryg1060 norg3777 are giveng1061a in marriageg1061a, but are likeg5613 angelsg32a in heaveng3772.

31

"But regardingg4012 the resurrectiong386 of the deadg3498, have you not readg314 whatg3588 was spokeng3004 to you by Godg2316:

32

aI AMg1510 THE GODg2316 OF ABRAHAMg11, AND THE GODg2316 OF ISAACg2464, AND THE GODg2316 OF JACOBg2384'? He is not the Godg2316 of the deadg3498 but of the livingg2198."

33

When the crowdsg3793 heardg191 this,  athey were astonishedg1605 at His teachingg1322.

34

 aBut when the Phariseesg5330 heardg191 that Jesus had silencedg5392  bthe Sadduceesg4523, they gatheredg4863 themselves togetherg1909g3588g846.

35

Oneg1520 of them,  1 aa lawyerg3544, askedg1905 Him a question, testingg3985 Him,

36

"Teacherg1320, whichg4169 is the greatg3173 commandmentg1785 in the Lawg3551?"

37

And He saidg5346 to him, " ` aYOU SHALL LOVEg25 THE LORDg2962 YOUR GODg2316 WITH ALLg3650 YOUR HEARTg2588, AND WITH ALLg3650 YOUR SOULg5590, AND WITH ALLg3650 YOUR MINDg1271.'

38

"Thisg3778 is the greatg3173 and  1foremostg4413 commandmentg1785.

39

"The secondg1208 is likeg3664 it, ` aYOU SHALL LOVEg25 YOUR NEIGHBORg4139 AS YOURSELFg4572.'

40

aOn theseg3778 twog1417 commandmentsg1785 dependg2910 the wholeg3650 Lawg3551 and the Prophetsg4396."

41

 aNowg1161 while the Phariseesg5330 were gatheredg4863 togetherg4863, Jesusg2424 askedg1905 them a questiong1905:

42

"Whatg5101 do you thinkg1380 aboutg4012  1the Christg5547, whoseg5101 song5207 is He?" They *saidg3004 to Him, " aThe son of Davidg1160b."

43

He *saidg3004 to them, "Theng3767 howg4459 does Davidg1160b  1 ain the Spiritg4151 callg2564 Him `Lordg2962,' sayingg3004,

44

aTHE LORDg2962 SAIDg3004 TO MY LORDg2962, "SITg2521 AT MY RIGHTg1188 HANDg1188, UNTILg2193 I PUTg5087 YOUR ENEMIESg2190 BENEATHg5270 YOUR FEETg4228"'?

45

"Ifg1487 Davidg1160b theng3767 callsg2564 Him `Lordg2962,' howg4459 is He his song5207?"

46

 aNog3762 oneg3762 was ableg1410 to answerg611 Him a wordg3056, norg3761 did anyoneg5100 dareg5111 from that dayg2250 on to askg1905 Him  1anotherg3765 questiong1905.
