22Matthew 22

1And Jesus answered, and spoke to them again by parables, and said,Select Matthew 22:1

2The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage for his son,Select Matthew 22:2

3And sent his servants to call them that were invited to the wedding: and they would not come.Select Matthew 22:3

4Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell them who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come to the marriage.Select Matthew 22:4

5But they made light of [it], and went, one to his farm, another to his merchandise.Select Matthew 22:5

6And the remnant took his servants, and treated [them] spitefully, and slew [them].Select Matthew 22:6

7But when the king heard [of it], he was wroth: and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.Select Matthew 22:7

8Then he saith to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy.Select Matthew 22:8

9Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, invite to the marriage.Select Matthew 22:9

10So those servants went out into the highways, and collected all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.Select Matthew 22:10

11And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not a wedding-garment:Select Matthew 22:11

12And he saith to him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.Select Matthew 22:12

13Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into utter darkness: 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 Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in [his] talk.Select Matthew 22:15

16And they sent out to 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.Select Matthew 22:16

17Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?Select Matthew 22:17

18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, [ye] hypocrites?Select Matthew 22:18

19Show me the tribute-money. And they brought to him a penny.Select Matthew 22:19

20And he saith to them, Whose [is] this image, and superscription?Select Matthew 22:20

21They say to him, Cesar's. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Cesar, the things which are Cesar's; and to God, the things that are God's.Select Matthew 22:21

22When they had heard [these words], they marveled, and left him, and departed.Select Matthew 22:22

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

24Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man shall die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.Select Matthew 22:24

25Now there were with us seven brothers: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased; and having no issue, left his wife to his brother.Select Matthew 22:25

26Likewise the second also, and the third, to the seventh.Select Matthew 22:26

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

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

29Jesus answered and said to them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.Select Matthew 22:29

30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.Select Matthew 22:30

31But as concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,Select Matthew 22:31

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.Select Matthew 22:32

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

34But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were assembled about him.Select Matthew 22:34

35Then one of them [who was] a lawyer, asked [him a question], tempting him, and saying,Select Matthew 22:35

36Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?Select Matthew 22:36

37Jesus said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.Select Matthew 22:37

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

39And the second [is] like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.Select Matthew 22:39

40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.Select Matthew 22:40

41While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them,Select Matthew 22:41

42Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, [The son] of David.Select Matthew 22:42

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

44The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool?Select Matthew 22:44

45If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?Select Matthew 22:45

46And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any [man], from that day forth, ask him any more questions.Select Matthew 22:46
