1
And
Jesus
answered
and
spake
unto
them
again
by
parables,
and
said,
2
The
kingdom
of
heaven
is
like
unto
a
certain
king,
which
made
a
marriage
for
his
son,
3
And
sent
forth
his
servants
to
call
them
that
were
bidden
to
the
wedding:
and
they
would
not
come.
4
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.
5
But
they
made
light
of
[it],
and
went
their
ways,
one
to
his
farm,
another
to
his
merchandise:
6
And
the
remnant
took
his
servants,
and
entreated
[them]
spitefully,
and
slew
[them].
7
But
when
the
king
heard
[thereof],
he
was
wroth:
and
he
sent
forth
his
armies,
and
destroyed
those
murderers,
and
burned
up
their
city.
8
Then
saith
he
to
his
servants,
The
wedding
is
ready,
but
they
which
were
bidden
were
not
worthy.
9
Go
ye
therefore
into
the
highways,
and
as
many
as
ye
shall
find,
bid
to
the
marriage.
10
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.
11
And
when
the
king
came
in
to
see
the
guests,
he
saw
there
a
man
which
had
not
on
a
wedding
garment:
12
And
he
saith
unto
him,
Friend,
how
camest
thou
in
hither
not
having
a
wedding
garment?
And
he
was
speechless.
13
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.
14
For
many
are
called,
but
few
[are]
chosen.
15
Then
went
the
Pharisees,
and
took
counsel
how
they
might
entangle
him
in
[his]
talk.
16
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.
17
Tell
us
therefore,
What
thinkest
thou?
Is
it
lawful
to
give
tribute
unto
Caesar,
or
not?
18
But
Jesus
perceived
their
wickedness,
and
said,
Why
tempt
ye
me,
[ye]
hypocrites?
19
Shew
me
the
tribute
money.
And
they
brought
unto
him
a
penny.
20
And
he
saith
unto
them,
Whose
[is]
this
image
and
superscription?
21
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.
22
When
they
had
heard
[these
words],
they
marvelled,
and
left
him,
and
went
their
way.
23
The
same
day
came
to
him
the
Sadducees,
which
say
that
there
is
no
resurrection,
and
asked
him,
24
Saying,
Master,
Moses
said,
If
a
man
die,
having
no
children,
his
brother
shall
marry
his
wife,
and
raise
up
seed
unto
his
brother.
25
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:
26
Likewise
the
second
also,
and
the
third,
unto
the
seventh.
27
And
last
of
all
the
woman
died
also.
28
Therefore
in
the
resurrection
whose
wife
shall
she
be
of
the
seven?
for
they
all
had
her.
29
Jesus
answered
and
said
unto
them,
Ye
do
err,
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
the
angels
of
God
in
heaven.
31
But
as
touching
the
resurrection
of
the
dead,
have
ye
not
read
that
which
was
spoken
unto
you
by
God,
saying,
32
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.
33
And
when
the
multitude
heard
[this],
they
were
astonished
at
his
doctrine.
34
But
when
the
Pharisees
had
heard
that
he
had
put
the
Sadducees
to
silence,
they
were
gathered
together.
35
Then
one
of
them,
[which
was]
a
lawyer,
asked
[him
a
question],
tempting
him,
and
saying,
36
Master,
which
[is]
the
great
commandment
in
the
law?
37
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.
38
This
is
the
first
and
great
commandment.
39
And
the
second
[is]
like
unto
it,
Thou
shalt
love
thy
neighbour
as
thyself.
40
On
these
two
commandments
hang
all
the
law
and
the
prophets.
41
While
the
Pharisees
were
gathered
together,
Jesus
asked
them,
42
Saying,
What
think
ye
of
Christ?
whose
son
is
he?
They
say
unto
him,
[The
Son]
of
David.
43
He
saith
unto
them,
How
then
doth
David
in
spirit
call
him
Lord,
saying,
44
The
LORD
said
unto
my
Lord,
Sit
thou
on
my
right
hand,
till
I
make
thine
enemies
thy
footstool?
45
If
David
then
call
him
Lord,
how
is
he
his
son?
46
And
no
man
was
able
to
answer
him
a
word,
neither
durst
any
[man]
from
that
day
forth
ask
him
any
more
[questions].
