Matthew 22 King James Version 2016

From Textus Receptus

1 And Jesus responded and spoke to them again by parables and said:
2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son,
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they would not come.
4 Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted cattle are slaughtered, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage.”’
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his business.
6 And the rest took his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them.
7 But when the king heard about it, he was very angry. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9 Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you can find, invite to the marriage.’
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together everyone they could find, both bad and good. And the wedding was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have a wedding garment on.
12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless.
13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 “Because, many are called, but few are chosen.”
15 Then the Pharisees went, and plotted how they might entangle Him in His speech.
16 And they sent out 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 gratify anyone, because You do not regard the person of men.
17 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test Me, you hypocrites?
19 Show Me the tax money.” So they gave a denarius to Him.
20 And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”
21 They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22 When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.
23 The same day the Sadducees who say that there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,
24 saying: “Teacher, Moses said, that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. So the first died after he had married a wife, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.
26 Likewise the second also, and the third, until the seventh.
27 Then last of all the woman died also.
28 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven shall she be, because they all had her?”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 Because, in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,
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.”
33 And when the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His doctrine.
34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they were gathered together.
35 Then one of them, who was a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 saying, “What do you think of Christ? Whose Son is He?” They said to Him, “The Son of David.”
43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:
44 “The LORD said to my Lord, ‘sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool?’”
45 If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?”
46 And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone ask Him any more questions from that day on.
