1 And having responded, Jesus again spoke to them in parables, saying,
2 The kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a king who made a wedding for his son.
3 And he sent forth his bondmen to call those who were invited to the wedding festivities, and they did not want to come.
4 Again he sent forth other bondmen, saying, Speak to those who were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and my fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding festivities.
5 But having disregarded, they departed, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,
6 and the others having seized his bondmen, abused and killed them.
7 But having heard that, the king was angry, and having sent forth his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding is indeed ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9 Go ye therefore to the crossings of the ways, and as many as ye may find, call to the wedding festivities.
10 And those bondmen having departed into the roads, they gathered together all, as many as they found, both bad and good. And the wedding was filled with those who were dining.
11 But when the king came in to see those who were dining, he saw there a man who was not clothed with a wedding garment.
12 And he says to him, Friend, how did thou come in here not having a wedding garment? But he was speechless.
13 Then the king said to the helpers, After binding him hands and feet, take him away and cast him out into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few chosen.
15 Then the Pharisees having departed, they took counsel how they might trap him in his talk.
16 And they send out their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou are true, and teach the way of God in truth, and it is not a concern to thee about a man, for thou look not to the personage of men.
17 Tell us therefore, what does it seem to thee? Is it permitted to give tribute to Caesar or not?
18 But Jesus having known their wickedness, said, Why do ye tempt me, ye hypocrites?
19 Exhibit to me the tribute money. And they brought to him a denarius.
20 And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription?
21 They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Therefore, render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.
22 And when they heard it, they marveled. And having left him, they departed.
23 On that day Sadducees came to him, those who claim to be no resurrection. And they questioned him, saying,
24 Teacher, Moses said, If some man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. And the first having married perished. And having no seed left his wife to his brother.
26 Likewise also the second, and the third, until the seventh.
27 And last of all, the woman also died.
28 In the resurrection therefore, which of the seven will she be wife? For they all had her.
29 But having answered, Jesus said to them, Ye are led astray, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as agents of God in heaven.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of the dead, but of the living.
33 And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 But the Pharisees, having heard that he silenced the Sadducees, they came together in the same place.
35 And one of them, a lawyer, questioned, trying him, and saying,
36 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 And Jesus said to him, Thou shall love Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like it, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law, and the prophets.
41 Now the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus interrogated them, saying,
42 What does it seem to you about the Christ? Whose son is he? They say to him, Of David.
43 He says to them, How then does David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet?
45 If David therefore calls him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no man was able to answer him a word, nor did any man from that day dare to question him any more.
1 And Iesus answered and spake vnto them agayne in similitudes sayinge.
2 The kingdome of heve is lyke vnto a certayne kynge which maryed his sonne
3 and sent forth his servantes to call them that were byd to the weddinge and they wolde not come.
4 Ageyne he sent forth other servauntes sayinge: Tell them which are bydden: beholde I have prepared my dynner myne oxen and my fatlinges are kylled and all thinges are redy come vnto the mariage.
5 But they made light of it and went their wayes: one to his ferme place another about his marchaundise
6 the remnaunt toke his seruantes and intreated them vngodly and slewe them.
7 When the kinge hearde that he was wroth and send forth his warryers and distroyed those murtherers and brent vp their cyte.
8 Then sayde he to his servauutes: the weddinge was prepared. But they which were bydden were not worthy.
9 Go ye therfore out into ye hyewayes and as many as ye finde byd them to the mariage.
10 The seruauntes wet out into the hiewayes and gaddered to gedder as many as they coulde fynde both good and bad and ye weddinge was furnysshed with gestes.
11 Then the kynge came in to viset the gestes and spyed there a ma which had not on a weddinge garment
12 and sayde vnto him: frende how fortuned it that thou camest in hither and hast not on a weddyng garment? And he was eve spechlesse.
13 Then sayde the kynge to his ministers: take and bynde hym hand and fote and caste hym into vtter darcknes there shalbe wepinge and gnasshinge of teth.
14 For many are called and feawe be chosen.
15 Then wet the Pharises and toke counsell how they might tagle him in his wordes.
16 And they sent vnto him their disciples with Herodes servauntes sayinge: Master we knowe yt thou are true and teachest the waye of god trulie nether carest for eny man for thou consydrest not menes estate.
17 Tell vs therfore: how thynkest thou? Is it lawfull to geve tribute vnto Cesar or not?
18 Iesus perceaved their wikednes and sayde: Why tempte ye me ye ypocrites?
19 Let me se ye tribute money. And they toke hym a peny.
20 And he sayde vnto them: whose is this ymage and superscripcion?
21 They sayde vnto him: Cesars. Then sayde he vnto them. Geve therfore to Cesar that which is Cesars: and geve vnto god that which is goddes.
22 When they hearde that they marveled and lefte hym and went there waye.
23 The same daye the Saduces came to him (which saye that there is no resurrcecion) and axed him
24 sayinge: Master Moses bade yf a man dye havinge no chyldre that the brother mary his wyfe and reyse vp seed vnto his brother.
25 Ther were wt vs seven brethre and the fyrste maried and deceased wt oute yssue and lefte his wyfe vnto his brother.
26 Lykewise the seconde and ye thryd vnto the sevethe.
27 Laste of all the woman dyed also.
28 Now in the resurreccion whose wyfe shall she be of the seven? For all had her.
29 Iesus answered and sayde vnto the: ye are deceaved and vnderstonde not the scriptures nor yet the power of God.
30 For in the resurreccion they nether mary nor are maryed: but are as the angels of God in heven.
31 As touchynge the resurreccion of the deed: have ye not redde what is sayde vnto you of God which sayeth:
32 I am Abrahams God and Ysaacks God and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the deed: but of the lyvinge.
33 And when the people hearde that they were astonyed at his doctrine.
34 When the Pharises had hearde how yt he had put the Saduces to silence they drewe to gedder
35 and one of them which was a doctoure of lawe axed a question teptinge h m and sayinge:
36 Master which is ye chefe comaundment in the lawe?
37 Iesus sayde vnto him: love the Lorde thy God wt all thine herte with all thy soule and with all thy mynde.
38 This is the fyrst and the chefe comaundement.
39 And ther is another lyke vnto this. Love thyne neghbour as thy selfe.
40 In these two commaundemetes hange all the lawe and the Prophetes.
41 Whyll the Pharises were gaddered togeder Iesus axed
42 the sayinge: what thinke ye of Christ? Whose sonne is he? They sayde vnto him: the sonne of David.
43 He sayde vnto the: how then doeth David in spirite call him Lorde sayinge?
44 The Lorde sayde to my Lorde syt on my right honde: tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole.
45 Yf David call him Lorde: how is he then his sonne?
46 And none coulde answere him ageyne one worde: nether dueste eny from that daye forth axe him eny moo questions.
