Context 11But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, 12and he said to him, Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes? And the man was speechless. 13Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14For many are called, but few are chosen. Tribute to Caesar 15Then the Pharisees went and plotted together how they might trap Him in what He said. 16And they sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any. 17Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to give a poll-tax to Caesar, or not? 18But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? 19Show Me the coin used for the poll-tax. And they brought Him a denarius. 20And He said to them, Whose likeness and inscription is this? 21They said to Him, Caesars. Then He said to them, Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesars; and to God the things that are Gods. 22And hearing this, they were amazed, and leaving Him, they went away. Jesus Answers the Sadducees 23On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him, 24asking, Teacher, Moses said, IF A MAN DIES HAVING NO CHILDREN, HIS BROTHER AS NEXT OF KIN SHALL MARRY HIS WIFE, AND RAISE UP CHILDREN FOR HIS BROTHER. 25Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother; 26so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh. 27Last of all, the woman died. 28In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her. 29But Jesus answered and said to them, You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God: 32I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB? He is not the God of the dead but of the living. 33When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching. 34But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered themselves together. 35One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, 36Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law? 37And He said to him, YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND. 38This is the great and foremost commandment. 39The second is like it, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. 40On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets. 41Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question: 42What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He? They said to Him, The son of David. 43He said to them, Then how does David in the Spirit call Him Lord, saying, 44THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, 45If David then calls Him Lord, how is He his son? 46No one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him another question.
