Chapter 22
1Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:
(Hebrew unavailable)
2“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
(Hebrew unavailable)
3He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
(Hebrew unavailable)
4Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
(Hebrew unavailable)
5But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.
(Hebrew unavailable)
6The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
(Hebrew unavailable)
7The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.
(Hebrew unavailable)
8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.
(Hebrew unavailable)
9Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
(Hebrew unavailable)
10So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
(Hebrew unavailable)
11But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
(Hebrew unavailable)
12‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
(Hebrew unavailable)
13Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
(Hebrew unavailable)
14For many are called, but few are chosen.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
15Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
(Hebrew unavailable)
16They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.
(Hebrew unavailable)
17So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
18But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?
(Hebrew unavailable)
19Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
(Hebrew unavailable)
20“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
21“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
22And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
(Hebrew unavailable)
23That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.
(Hebrew unavailable)
24“Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
(Hebrew unavailable)
25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.
(Hebrew unavailable)
26The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.
(Hebrew unavailable)
27And last of all, the woman died.
(Hebrew unavailable)
28In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
29Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
(Hebrew unavailable)
30In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
(Hebrew unavailable)
31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:
(Hebrew unavailable)
32‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
33When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
(Hebrew unavailable)
34And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.
(Hebrew unavailable)
35One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:
(Hebrew unavailable)
36“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
37Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
(Hebrew unavailable)
38This is the first and greatest commandment.
(Hebrew unavailable)
39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
(Hebrew unavailable)
40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
41While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:
(Hebrew unavailable)
42“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
(Hebrew unavailable)
43Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:
(Hebrew unavailable)
44‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
(Hebrew unavailable)
45So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
46No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
