The Gospel of Matthew 22

22 And answering, Jesus again spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of the heavens is compared to a man, a king, who made a wedding feast for his son. 3 And he sent out his servants to call the ones having been invited to the wedding feast, and they were not willing to come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Say to the ones having been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My bulls and fattened calves have been killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast.” ’ 5 But they, having paid no attention, went away, one to his own field and one to his business. 6 But the rest, having seized his servants, mistreated and killed them. 7 But the king became angry, and having sent his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he says to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but the ones having been invited were not worthy. 9 Therefore, go to the crossings of the roads and invite as many as you find to the wedding feast.’ 10 And those servants, having gone out to the roads, gathered together all whom they found, both evil and good, and the wedding was filled with those reclining to eat. 11 But the king, having come in to look at the ones reclining to eat, saw there a man not wearing wedding clothes. 12 And he says to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here, not having wedding clothes?’ But he was silent. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Having bound his feet and hands, throw him out into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of the teeth.’ 14 For many are called, but few chosen.”

15 Then having gone, the Pharisees took counsel how they might entrap him in word. 16 And they send to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful, and you teach the way of God in truth, and it is not a concern to you about anyone, for you do not look at the face of men. 17 Therefore, tell us, what do you think? Is it lawful to give a poll tax to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, having known their wickedness, said, “Why are you testing me, hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin of the poll tax.” And they brought a denarius to him. 20 And he says to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” 21 They say, “Caesar’s.” Then he says to them, “Therefore, give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.” 22 And having heard it, they marveled, and having left him, they went away.

23 On that day Sadducees, saying there is no resurrection, approached him and questioned him, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If someone dies, not having children, his brother will marry his wife and will raise up seed for his brother.’ 25 But there were among us seven brothers, and the first, having married, died. And not having seed, he left his wife to his brother. 26 Likewise also, the second and the third, until the seven. 27 And last of all, the woman died. 28 Therefore, in the resurrection, of which of the seven will she be a wife? For they all had her.” 29 But answering, Jesus said to them, “You are being led astray, not knowing the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like angels in heaven. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not a God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 And having heard this, the crowds were astonished at his teaching.

34 But the Pharisees, having heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered together at the same place. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, questioned him, testing him— 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 But he said to him, “‘You will love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole mind.’ 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 Now a second is like it—‘You will love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments are hung the whole Law and the Prophets.”

41 Now the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus questioned them, 42 saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They say to him, “David’s.” 43 He says to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him ‘Lord,’ saying,

44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit at my right hand,

until I put your enemies under your feet” ’?

45 If David therefore calls him ‘Lord,’ how is he his son?” 46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day to question him any longer.
