Matthew 22
1 The parable of the marriage of the king's son. 9 The vocation of the Gentiles. 12 The punishment of him that wanted the wedding garment. 15 Tribute ought to be paid to Cesar. 23 Christ confuteth the Sadducees for the resurrection: 34 answereth the lawyer, which is the first and great commandment: 41 and poseth the Pharisees about the Messias.
22:1
Jesus 2424 spoke 3004 to them again 3825 in parables 3850b, saying 3004,
22:2
“The kingdom 932 of heaven 3772 may be compared 3666 to a king 444 935 who 3748 gave 4160 a wedding 1062 feast 1062 for his son 5207.
22:3
“And he sent 649 out his slaves 1401 to call 2564 those 3588 who had been invited 2564 to the wedding 1062 feast 1062, and they were unwilling 3756 2309 to come 2064.
22:4
“Again 3825 he sent 649 out other 243 slaves 1401 saying 3004, ‘Tell 3004 those 3588 who have been invited 2564, “Behold 2400, I have prepared 2090 my dinner 712; my oxen 5022 and my fattened 4619b livestock 4619b are [all] butchered 2380 and everything 3956 is ready 2092; come 1205 to the wedding 1062 feast 1062.”’
22:5
“But they paid 272 no 272 attention 272 and went 565 their way 565, one 3739 to his own 2398 farm 68, another 3739 1161 to his business 1171,
22:6
and the rest 3062 seized 2902 his slaves 1401 and mistreated 5195 them and killed 615 them.
22:7
“But the king 935 was enraged 3710, and he sent 3992 his armies 4753 and destroyed 622 those 1565 murderers 5406 and set 1705b their city 4172 on fire 1705b.
22:8
“Then 5119 he *said 3004 to his slaves 1401, ‘The wedding 1062 is ready 2092, but those 3588 who were invited 2564 were not worthy 514.
22:9
‘Go 4198 therefore 3767 to the main 1327b highways 3598, and as many 3745 as you find 2147 [there], invite 2564 to the wedding 1062 feast 1062.’
22:10
“Those 1565 slaves 1401 went 1831 out into the streets 3598 and gathered 4863 together 4863 all 3956 they found 2147, both 5037 evil 4190 and good 18; and the wedding 3567 hall 3567 was filled 4092a with dinner 345 guests 345.
22:11
¶ “But when the king 935 came 1525 in to look 2300 over 2300 the dinner 345 guests 345, he saw 3708 a man 444 there 1563 who was not dressed 1746a in wedding 1062 clothes 1742,
22:12
and he *said 3004 to him, ‘Friend 2083, how 4459 did you come 1525 in here 5602 without 3361 2192 wedding 1062 clothes 1742?’ And the man was speechless 5392.
22:13
“Then 5119 the king 935 said 3004 to the servants 1249, ‘Bind 1210 him hand 5495 and foot 4228, and throw 1544b him into the outer 1857 darkness 4655; in that place 1563 there 1563 will be weeping 2805 and gnashing 1030 of teeth 3599.’
22:14
“For many 4183 are called 2822, but few 3641 [are] chosen 1588.”
22:15
¶ Then 5119 the Pharisees 5330 went 4198 and plotted 4824 together 4824 how 3704 they might trap 3802 Him in what He said 3056.
22:16
And they *sent 649 their disciples 3101 to Him, along with the Herodians 2265, saying 3004, “Teacher 1320, we know 3609a that You are truthful 227 and teach 1321 the way 3598 of God 2316 in truth 225, and defer 3199 to no 3762 one 3762; for You are not partial 991 4383 to any 3762.
22:17
“Tell 3004 us then 3767, what 5101 do You think 1380? Is it lawful 1832 to give 1325 a poll-tax 2778b to Caesar 2541, or 2228 not?”
22:18
But Jesus 2424 perceived 1097 their malice 4189, and said 3004, “Why 5101 are you testing 3985 Me, you hypocrites 5273?
22:19
“Show 1925 Me the coin 3546 [used] for the poll-tax 2778b.” And they brought 4374 Him a denarius 1220.
22:20
And He *said 3004 to them, “Whose 5101 likeness 1504 and inscription 1923 is this 3778?”
22:21
They *said 3004 to Him, “Caesar’s 2541.” Then 5119 He *said 3004 to them, “Then 3767 render 591 to Caesar 2541 the things that are Caesar’s 2541; and to God 2316 the things that are God’s 2316.”
22:22
And hearing 191 [this], they were amazed 2296, and leaving 863 Him, they went 565 away 565.
22:23
¶ On that day 2250 [some] Sadducees 4523 (who say 3004 there is no 3361 resurrection 386) came 4334 to Jesus and questioned 1905 Him,
22:24
asking 3004, “Teacher 1320, Moses 3475 said 3004, ‘IF 1437 A MAN 5100 DIES 599 HAVING 2192 NO 3361 CHILDREN 5043, HIS BROTHER 80 AS NEXT OF KIN SHALL MARRY 1918 HIS WIFE 1135, AND RAISE 450 UP CHILDREN 5043 FOR HIS BROTHER 80.’
22:25
“Now 1161 there were seven 2033 brothers 80 with us; and the first 4413 married 1060 and died 5053, and having 2192 no 3361 children 4690 left 863 his wife 1135 to his brother 80;
22:26
so 3668 also 2532 the second 1208, and the third 5154, down 2193 to the seventh 2033.
22:27
“Last 5305 of all 3956, the woman 1135 died 599.
22:28
“In the resurrection 386, therefore 3767, whose 5101 wife 1135 of the seven 2033 will she be? For they all 3956 had 2192 [married] her.”
22:29
¶ But Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004 to them, “You are mistaken 4105, not understanding 3609a the Scriptures 1124 nor 3366 the power 1411 of God 2316.
22:30
“For in the resurrection 386 they neither 3777 marry 1060 nor 3777 are given 1061a in marriage 1061a, but are like 5613 angels 32a in heaven 3772.
22:31
“But regarding 4012 the resurrection 386 of the dead 3498, have you not read 314 what 3588 was spoken 3004 to you by God 2316:
22:32
‘I AM 1510 THE GOD 2316 OF ABRAHAM 11, AND THE GOD 2316 OF ISAAC 2464, AND THE GOD 2316 OF JACOB 2384’? He is not the God 2316 of the dead 3498 but of the living 2198.”
22:33
When the crowds 3793 heard 191 [this], they were astonished 1605 at His teaching 1322.
22:34
¶ But when the Pharisees 5330 heard 191 that Jesus had silenced 5392 the Sadducees 4523, they gathered 4863 themselves together 1909 3588 846.
22:35
One 1520 of them, a lawyer 3544, asked 1905 Him [a question], testing 3985 Him,
22:36
“Teacher 1320, which 4169 is the great 3173 commandment 1785 in the Law 3551?”
22:37
And He said 5346 to him, “ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE 25 THE LORD 2962 YOUR GOD 2316 WITH ALL 3650 YOUR HEART 2588, AND WITH ALL 3650 YOUR SOUL 5590, AND WITH ALL 3650 YOUR MIND 1271.’
22:38
“This 3778 is the great 3173 and foremost 4413 commandment 1785.
22:39
“The second 1208 is like 3664 it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE 25 YOUR NEIGHBOR 4139 AS YOURSELF 4572.’
22:40
“On these 3778 two 1417 commandments 1785 depend 2910 the whole 3650 Law 3551 and the Prophets 4396.”
22:41
¶ Now 1161 while the Pharisees 5330 were gathered 4863 together 4863, Jesus 2424 asked 1905 them a question 1905:
22:42
“What 5101 do you think 1380 about 4012 the Christ 5547, whose 5101 son 5207 is He?” They *said 3004 to Him, “[The son] of David 1160b.”
22:43
He *said 3004 to them, “Then 3767 how 4459 does David 1160b in the Spirit 4151 call 2564 Him ‘Lord 2962,’ saying 3004,
22:44
‘THE LORD 2962 SAID 3004 TO MY LORD 2962, “SIT 2521 AT MY RIGHT 1188 HAND 1188, UNTIL 2193 I PUT 5087 YOUR ENEMIES 2190 BENEATH 5270 YOUR FEET 4228”’?
22:45
“If 1487 David 1160b then 3767 calls 2564 Him ‘Lord 2962,’ how 4459 is He his son 5207?”
22:46
No 3762 one 3762 was able 1410 to answer 611 Him a word 3056, nor 3761 did anyone 5100 dare 5111 from that day 2250 on to ask 1905 Him another 3765 question 1905.
