CHAP. XXII. / 1 The parable of the marriage of the Kings sonne. 9 The vocation of the Gentiles. 12 The punishment of him that wanted the wedding garment. 15 Tribute ought to be payed to Caesar. 23 Chr

1And Iesus answered, and spake vnto them againe by parables, and said,Select Matthew 22:1

2The Kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine King, which made a marriage for his sonne,Select Matthew 22:2

3And sent forth his seruants to call them that were bidden to the wedding, and they would not come.Select Matthew 22:3

4Againe, hee sent foorth other seruants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Beholde, I haue prepared my dinner; my oxen, and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come vnto the marriage.Select Matthew 22:4

5But they made light of it, and went their wayes, one to his farme, another to his merchandize:Select Matthew 22:5

6And the remnant tooke his seruants, and intreated them spitefully, and slew them.Select Matthew 22:6

7But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth, and hee sent foorth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burnt vp their citie.Select Matthew 22:7

8Then saith hee to his seruants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden, were not worthy.Select Matthew 22:8

9Goe yee therefore into the high wayes, and as many as yee shall finde, bid to the marriage.Select Matthew 22:9

10So those seruants went out into the high wayes, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good, and the wedding was furnished with ghests.Select Matthew 22:10

11And when the King came in to see the guests, hee sawe there a man, which had not on a wedding garment,Select Matthew 22:11

12And hee sayth vnto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not hauing a wedding garment? And hee was speechlesse.Select Matthew 22:12

13Then said the king to the seruants, Binde him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkenesse, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.Select Matthew 22:13

14For many are called, but few are chosen.Select Matthew 22:14

15Then went the Pharises, and tooke counsell, how they might intangle him in his talke.Select Matthew 22:15

16And they sent out vnto him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, wee know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in trueth, neither carest thou for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men.Select Matthew 22:16

17Tell vs therefore, what thinkest thou? Is it lawfull to giue tribute vnto Cesar, or not?Select Matthew 22:17

18But Iesus perceiued their wickednesse, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?Select Matthew 22:18

19Shew me the tribute money. And they brought vnto him a peny.Select Matthew 22:19

20And he sayth vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription?Select Matthew 22:20

21They say vnto him, Cesars. Then sayth he vnto them, Render therefore vnto Cesar, the things which are Cesars: and vnto God, the things that are Gods.Select Matthew 22:21

22When they had heard these wordes, they marueiled, and left him, and went their way.Select Matthew 22:22

23The same day came to him the Sadduces, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,Select Matthew 22:23

24Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, hauing no children, his brother shall marrie his wife, and raise vp seed vnto his brother.Select Matthew 22:24

25Now there were with vs seuen brethren, and the first when he had maried a wife, deceased, and hauing no issue, left his wife vnto his brother.Select Matthew 22:25

26Likewise the second also, and the third, vnto the seuenth.Select Matthew 22:26

27And last of al the woman died also.Select Matthew 22:27

28Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seuen? for they all had her.Select Matthew 22:28

29Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Yee doe erre, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.Select Matthew 22:29

30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are giuen in marriage, but are as the Angels of God in heauen.Select Matthew 22:30

31But as touching the resurrection of the dead, haue ye not read that which was spoken vnto you by God, saying,Select Matthew 22:31

32I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the liuing.Select Matthew 22:32

33And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.Select Matthew 22:33

34But when the Pharises had heard that he had put the Sadduces to silence, they were gathered together.Select Matthew 22:34

35Then one of them, which was a Lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,Select Matthew 22:35

36Master, which is the great Commandement in the Law?Select Matthew 22:36

37Iesus sayd vnto him, Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy minde.Select Matthew 22:37

38This is the first and great Commandement.Select Matthew 22:38

39And the second is like vnto it, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.Select Matthew 22:39

40On these two Commandements hang all the Law and the Prophets.Select Matthew 22:40

41While the Pharises were gathered together, Iesus asked them,Select Matthew 22:41

42Saying, What thinke yee of Christ? whose sonne is hee? They say vnto him, The sonne of Dauid.Select Matthew 22:42

43He saith vnto them, How then doth Dauid in spirit call him Lord, saying,Select Matthew 22:43

44The Lord said vnto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstoole?Select Matthew 22:44

45If Dauid then call him Lord, how is he his sonne?Select Matthew 22:45

46And no man was able to answere him a word, neither durst any man (from that day foorth) aske him any moe questions.Select Matthew 22:46
