1And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said:

1Again Jesus spoke to them in parables. He said,

2“The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son,

2"The kingdom from heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son.

3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come.

3He sent his servants to call those who had been invited to the wedding, but they refused to come.

4Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” ’

4So he sent other servants after saying, 'Tell those who have been invited, "Look! I've prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened calves have been slaughtered. Everything is ready. Come to the wedding!"'

5But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business.

5But they paid no attention to this and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.

6And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them.

6The rest grabbed the king's servants, treated them brutally, and then killed them.

7But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

7Then the king became outraged. He sent his troops, and they destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

8"Then he told his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

9Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’

9So go into the roads leading out of town and invite as many people as you can find to the wedding.'

10So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.

10Those servants went out into the streets and brought in everyone they found, evil and good alike, and the wedding hall was packed with guests.

11“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.

11"When the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.

12So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless.

12He asked him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' But the man was speechless.

13Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

13Then the king told his servants, 'Tie his hands and feet, and throw him into the darkness outside!' In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth,

14“For many are called, but few are chosen.”

14because many are invited, but few are chosen."

15Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk.

15Then the Pharisees went and planned how to trap Jesus in conversation.

16And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not regard the person of men.

16They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. They said, "Teacher, we know that you are sincere and that you teach the way of God truthfully. You don't favor any individual, because you pay no attention to external appearance.

17Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

17So tell us what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test Me, you hypocrites?

18Recognizing their wickedness, Jesus asked, "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites?

19Show Me the tax money.” So they brought Him a denarius.

19Show me the coin used for the tax." They brought him a denarius.

20And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”

20Then he asked them, "Whose face and name is this?"

21They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” And He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

21They told him, "Caesar's." So he told them, "Then give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

22When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.

22When they heard this, they were amazed. Then they left him and went away.

23The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,

23That same day some Sadducees, who claim there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and asked him,

24saying: “Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

24"Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for his brother.'

25Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.

25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his widow to his brother.

26Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh.

26The same thing happened with the second brother, and then the third, and finally with the rest of the brothers.

27Last of all the woman died also.

27Finally, the woman died, too.

28Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.”

28Now in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be, since all of them had married her?"

29Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

29Jesus answered them, "You are mistaken because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power,

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

30because in the resurrection, people neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels in heaven.

31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,

31As for the resurrection from the dead, haven't you read what was spoken to you by God when he said,

32‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

32I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living."

33And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

33When the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.

34But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

34When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they met together in the same place.

35Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,

35One of them, an expert in the Law, tested him by asking,

36“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”

36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"

37Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

37Jesus told him, "'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

38This is the first and great commandment.

38This is the greatest and most important commandment.

39And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

39The second is exactly like it: 'You must love your neighbor as yourself.'

40On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

40All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments."

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

41While the Pharisees were still gathered, Jesus asked them,

42saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?” They said to Him, “The Son of David.”

42"What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?" They told him, "David's."

43He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:

43He asked them, "Then how can David by the Spirit call him 'Lord' when he says,

44‘The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool” ’?

44The Lord told my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet."'?

45If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?”

45If David calls him 'Lord', how can he be his son?"

46And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore.

46No one could answer him at all, and from that day on no one dared to ask him another question.
