|
|
|
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. |
