1<\/sup>AND Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage; and they would not come.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come ye to the marriage.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>And the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>But when the king had heard of it, he was angry, and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>For many are called, but few are chosen.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites?<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's.<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>And hearing this they wondered, and leaving him, went their ways.<\/span> <\/p>\n 23<\/sup>That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him,<\/span> <\/p>\n 24<\/sup>Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up issue to his brother.<\/span> <\/p>\n 25<\/sup>Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his brother.<\/span> <\/p>\n 26<\/sup>In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh.<\/span> <\/p>\n 27<\/sup>And last of all the woman died also.<\/span> <\/p>\n 28<\/sup>At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her.<\/span> <\/p>\n 29<\/sup>And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.<\/span> <\/p>\n 30<\/sup>For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.<\/span> <\/p>\n 31<\/sup>And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you:<\/span> <\/p>\n 32<\/sup>I 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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 33<\/sup>And the multitudes hearing it, were in admiration at his doctrine.<\/span> <\/p>\n 34<\/sup>But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together:<\/span> <\/p>\n 35<\/sup>And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him:<\/span> <\/p>\n 36<\/sup>Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?<\/span> <\/p>\n 37<\/sup>Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.<\/span> <\/p>\n 38<\/sup>This is the greatest and the first commandment.<\/span> <\/p>\n 39<\/sup>And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.<\/span> <\/p>\n 40<\/sup>On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.<\/span> <\/p>\n 41<\/sup>And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them,<\/span> <\/p>\n 42<\/sup>Saying: What think you of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him: David's.<\/span> <\/p>\n 43<\/sup>He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying:<\/span> <\/p>\n 44<\/sup>The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?<\/span> <\/p>\n 45<\/sup>If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?<\/span> <\/p>\n 46<\/sup>And no man was able to answer him a word; neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.<\/span> <\/p>\n
