And Jesus
answered
and spake
unto them
again
by
parables
, and said
,
The kingdom of heaven
is like
unto a certain
king
, which
made
a marriage
for his
son
,
And sent forth
his
servants
to call
them that were bidden
to
the wedding
: and
they would
not
come
.
Again, 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
.
But they made light of
it , and went their ways
, one
to
his
farm
, another
to
his
merchandise
:
And the remnant
took
his
servants
, and entreated them spitefully
, and
slew
them .
But when the king
heard
thereof , he was wroth
: and
he sent forth
his
armies
, and destroyed
those
murderers
, and
burned up
their
city
.
Then saith he
to his
servants
,
The wedding
is
ready
, but
they which were bidden
were
not
worthy
.
Go ye therefore
into
the highways
, and
as many as
ye shall find
, bid
to
the marriage
.
So 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
.
And when
the king
came in
to see
the guests
, he saw
there
a man
which had
not
on
a wedding
garment
:
And he saith
unto him
, Friend
, how
camest thou
in hither
not
having
a wedding
garment
? And
he was speechless
.
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
.
For many
are
called
, but
few
are chosen
.
Then went
the Pharisees
, and took
counsel
how
they might entangle
him
in
his talk
.
And they sent out
unto him
their
disciples
with
the Herodians
, 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
.
Tell us
therefore
, What
thinkest
thou
? Is it lawful
to give
tribute
unto Caesar
, or
not
?
But Jesus
perceived
their
wickedness
, and said
, Why
tempt ye
me
, ye hypocrites
?
Shew me
the tribute
money
. And
they brought
unto him
a penny
.
And he saith
unto them
, Whose
is this
image
and
superscription
?
They 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
.
When they had heard
these words , they marvelled
, and
left
him
, and went their way
.
The same day
came
to him
the Sadducees
, which
say
that there is
no
resurrection
, and
asked
him
,
Saying, Master
, Moses
said
, If
a man
die
, having
no
children
, his
brother
shall marry
his
wife
, and
raise up
seed
unto his
brother
.
Now 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
:
Likewise the second
also
, and
the third
, unto
the seventh
.
And last
of all
the woman
died
also
.
Therefore in
the resurrection
whose
wife
shall she be
of the seven
? for
they all
had
her
.
Jesus answered
and
said
unto them
, Ye do err
, not
knowing
the scriptures
, nor
the power
of God
.
For in
the resurrection
they neither
marry
, nor
are given in marriage
, but
are
as
the angels
of God
in
heaven
.
But as touching
the resurrection
of the dead
, have ye
not
read
that which
was spoken
unto you
by
God
, saying
,
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
.
And when the multitude
heard
this , they were astonished
at
his
doctrine
.
But when the Pharisees
had heard
that
he had put
the Sadducees
to silence
, they were gathered together
.
Then one
of
them
, which was a lawyer
, asked
him a question , tempting
him
, and
saying
,
Master, which
is the great
commandment
in
the law
?
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
.
This is
the first
and
great
commandment
.
And the second
is like
unto it
, Thou shalt love
thy
neighbour
as
thyself
.
On these
two
commandments
hang
all
the law
and
the prophets
.
While the Pharisees
were gathered together
, Jesus
asked
them
,
Saying, What
think
ye
of
Christ
? whose
son
is he
? They say
unto him
, The Son of David
.
He saith unto them
, How
then
doth David
in
spirit
call
him
Lord
, saying
,
The LORD said
unto my
Lord
, Sit thou
on
my
right hand
, till
I make
thine
enemies
thy
footstool
?
If David
then
call
him
Lord
, how
is he
his
son
?
And no man
was able
to answer
him
a word
, neither
durst
any
man from
that
day
forth ask
him
any more
questions .
