1And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,studyinterlinear

2The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,studyinterlinear

3And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.studyinterlinear

4Again, 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.studyinterlinear

5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:studyinterlinear

6And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.studyinterlinear

7But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.studyinterlinear

8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.studyinterlinear

9Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.studyinterlinear

10So 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.studyinterlinear

11And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:studyinterlinear

12And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.studyinterlinear

13Then 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.studyinterlinear

14For many are called, but few are chosen.studyinterlinear

15Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.studyinterlinear

16And 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.studyinterlinear

17Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?studyinterlinear

18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?studyinterlinear

19Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.studyinterlinear

20And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?studyinterlinear

21They say unto him, Cæsar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.studyinterlinear

22When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.studyinterlinear

23The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,studyinterlinear

24Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.studyinterlinear

25Now 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:studyinterlinear

26Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.studyinterlinear

27And last of all the woman died also.studyinterlinear

28Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.studyinterlinear

29Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.studyinterlinear

30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.studyinterlinear

31But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,studyinterlinear

32I 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.studyinterlinear

33And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.studyinterlinear

34But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.studyinterlinear

35Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,studyinterlinear

36Master, which is the great commandment in the law?studyinterlinear

37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.studyinterlinear

38This is the first and great commandment.studyinterlinear

39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.studyinterlinear

40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.studyinterlinear

41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,studyinterlinear

42Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.studyinterlinear

43He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,studyinterlinear

44The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?studyinterlinear

45If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?studyinterlinear

46And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.studyinterlinear
