40_MAT_22_01 And Jesus answered And spake unto them again by parables , And said ,
40_MAT_22_02 the kingdom of heaven Is like unto A certain king , which made A marriage for his son ,
40_MAT_22_03 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding : And they would not come .
40_MAT_22_04 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 .
40_MAT_22_05 but they made light of [ it ] , And went their ways , one to his farm , another to his merchandise :
40_MAT_22_06 And the remnant took his servants , And entreated [ them ] spitefully , And slew [ them ] .
40_MAT_22_07 but when the king heard [ thereof ] , he was wroth : And he sent forth his armies , And destroyed those murderers , And burned up their city .
40_MAT_22_08 Then saith he to his servants , the wedding Is ready , but they which were bidden were not worthy .
40_MAT_22_09 go ye therefore into the highways , And as Many as ye shall find , Bid to the marriage .
40_MAT_22_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 .
40_MAT_22_11 And when the king came in to see the guests , he saw there A man which had not on A wedding garment :
40_MAT_22_12 And he saith unto him , friend , how camest thou in hither not having A wedding garment ? And he was speechless .
40_MAT_22_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 .
40_MAT_22_14 for Many are called , but few [ are ] chosen .
40_MAT_22_15 Then went the Pharisees , And took counsel how they might entangle him in [ his ] talk .
40_MAT_22_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 .
40_MAT_22_17 tell us therefore , what thinkest thou ? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar , or not ?
40_MAT_22_18 but Jesus perceived their wickedness , And said , why tempt ye me , [ ye ] hypocrites ?
40_MAT_22_19 show me the tribute money . And they brought unto him A penny .
40_MAT_22_20 And he saith unto them , whose [ Is ] this image And superscription ?
40_MAT_22_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 .
40_MAT_22_22 when they had heard [ These words ] , they marvelled , And left him , And went their way .
40_MAT_22_23 the same day came to him the Sadducees , which say that there Is no resurrection , And asked him ,
40_MAT_22_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 .
40_MAT_22_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 :
40_MAT_22_26 Likewise the second also , And the third , unto the seventh .
40_MAT_22_27 And last of all the woman died also .
40_MAT_22_28 therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven ? for they all had her .
40_MAT_22_29 Jesus answered And said unto them , ye do err , not knowing the scriptures , nor the power of God .
40_MAT_22_30 for in the resurrection they neither marry , nor are given in marriage , but are as the angels of God in heaven .
40_MAT_22_31 but as touching the resurrection of the dead , have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God , saying ,
40_MAT_22_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 .
40_MAT_22_33 And when the multitude heard [ this ] , they were astonished at his doctrine .
40_MAT_22_34 but when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence , they were gathered together .
40_MAT_22_35 Then one of them , [ which was ] A lawyer , asked [ him A question ] , tempting him , And saying ,
40_MAT_22_36 master , which [ Is ] the great commandment in the law ?
40_MAT_22_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 .
40_MAT_22_38 this Is the first And great commandment .
40_MAT_22_39 And the second [ Is ] like unto it , thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself .
40_MAT_22_40 on These two commandments hang all the law And the prophets .
40_MAT_22_41 while the Pharisees were gathered together , Jesus asked them ,
40_MAT_22_42 saying , what think ye of Christ ? whose son Is he ? they say unto him , [ the son ] of David .
40_MAT_22_43 he saith unto them , how Then Doth David in spirit call him LORD , saying ,
40_MAT_22_44 the LORD said unto my LORD , sit thou on my right hand , till I make thine enemies thy footstool ?
40_MAT_22_45 if David Then call him LORD , how Is he his son ?
40_MAT_22_46 And no man was able to answer him A word , neither durst any [ man ] from that day forth ask him any more [ questions ] .
