22:1 The parable about the wedding reception

(Luke 14:15-24)

22Yeshua, still answering them, told another parable: 2The kingdom of the heavens is like a king who prepared the wedding reception for his son 3and he sent out some of his slaves to remind those who’d been invited, but they didn’t want to come. 4So he sent out some other slaves, instructing them, ‘Tell those who’re invited: Listen, I’ve prepared the dinner, including some of my grain-fed beef and everything’s now ready. Come to the wedding and celebrate.’ 5But they ignored the message and went their various ways—one went off to his field to work and another went into his business. 6Still others grabbed the slaves and mistreated them, and even killed them.

7Now the king was angry and sent in his soldiers to destroy those murderers and to burn their city. 8Then he told his slaves, ‘Well, the wedding reception is ready but those that were invited aren’t worthy to come. 9So spread out on the roads and invite everywhere that you find to come to the reception.’ 10So those slaves went out onto the roads and invited everyone they found—both evil and good people, and then the seats at the wedding reception were all full.

11But when the king came into to meet the seated guests, he saw a man there who wasn’t dressed in the proper clothes for a wedding, 12and demanded, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without the right clothes?’ But the man had nothing to say. 13[ref]So the king told his servants, ‘Tie up the man’s hands and feet and throw him outside into the darkness, and there’ll be weeping and much anguish out there.’

14Because many are invited, but few are selected.

22:15 The question about paying tax

(Mark 12:13-17, Luke 20:20-26)

15Then the members of the Pharisees went away and had a discussion to try to figure out how to trap him into saying something wrong. 16Afterwards, they sent some of their apprentices along with some supporters of Herod and asked, “Teacher, we know that you are honest and that you teach God’s ways in all honesty irrespective of what people might say, because you don’t care about people’s opinions. 17So then, tell us what you think: should we pay the poll tax to Caesar or not?”

18But Yeshua knew how wicked they were and asked, “Why are you testing me, you hypocrites? 19Show me the coin used to pay the poll tax.So they brought a coin to him. 20Then he asked, “Whose image is this on the coin, and the inscription?

21“Caesar’s,” they answered.

Then give Caesar’s things to Caesar and God’s things to God,” Yeshua responded.

22When they heard that, they were amazed, and left him and went away.

22:23 The question about marriage in heaven

(Mark 12:18-27, Luke 20:27-40)

23[ref]On that day some from the Sadducee sect (who claim there’s no resurrection) approached Yeshua and asked, 24[ref]Teacher, Mosheh wrote that if a married man dies childless, his brother should marry the widow and so raise up children for his deceased brother. 25Well, there were seven brothers amongst up, and the first one got married and then died childless. So his brother married the widow. 26The same happened for the second brother, and the third, all the way to the seventh. 27Finally the woman died. 28Now then, in the resurrection, which of the brothers will she be the wife of, because they were all married to her?”

29You’ve got it wrong,Yeshua answered, “because you don’t understand either the scriptures or God’s power, 30because in the resurrection, there’ll be no marrying or getting engaged, because they’ll be like the messengers in heaven. 31But as for the resurrection of the dead, isn’t it written in the scriptures that God said, 32[ref]I am Abraham’s God and Isaac’s God and Yacob’s God.’? So God is not the god of the dead, but of the living.

33When the crowds heard his answer, they were amazed at his teaching.

22:34 The most important commandment

(Mark 12:28-34, Luke 10:25-28)

34But when the Pharisees party heard that Yeshua had silenced the Sadducees, they decided to work together, 35so a lawyer among them tested him by asking, 36Teacher, which is the most important commandment from Mosheh?”

37[ref]You should love the master, your God, with all of your heart and your soul and your mind. 38That’s the first and most important commandment. 39[ref]The next is similar to it: You should love your neighbour like yourself. 40[ref]Everything from the Torah and the writings of the prophets just follows on from those two commandments.

22:41 The question about the messiah

(Mark 12:35-37, Luke 20:41-44)

41Since all from the Pharisees’ party were gathered together, Yeshua asked them a question, 42How do you interpret the scriptures about the messiah? Who will he be a descendant of?

“A descendant of King David,” they answered.

43Then how could David,” he continued, “under the inspiration of God’s spirit, call himmaster’ when he said,

44[ref]‘The master said to my master:

“Sit there on my right

until I conquer your enemies.”

45So if David is calling him ‘master’, how could he be his descendant?

46No one was able to answer his question, and after that day they didn’t dare ask him anything else.
