Matthew 22

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 And Jesus, talking to them again in stories, said:

2 The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a feast when his son was married,

3 And sent out his servants to get in the guests to the feast: and they would not come.

4 Again he sent out other servants, with orders to say to the guests, See, I have made ready my feast: my oxen and my fat beasts have been put to death, and all things are ready: come to the feast.

5 But they gave no attention, and went about their business, one to his farm, another to his trade:

6 And the rest put violent hands on his servants, and did evil to them, and put them to death.

7 But the king was angry; and he sent his armies, and those who had put his servants to death he gave to destruction, burning down their town with fire.

8 Then he said to his servants, The feast is ready but the guests were not good enough.

9 Go then to the cross-roads, and get all those whom you see to come to the bride-feast.

10 And those servants went out into the streets, and got together all those whom they came across, bad and good: and the feast was full of guests.

11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a guest's robe;

12 And he says to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a guest's robe? And he had nothing to say.

13 Then the king said to the servants, Put cords round his hands and feet and put him out into the dark; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

14 For out of all to whom the good news has come, only a small number will get salvation.

15 Then the Pharisees went and had a meeting to see how they might make use of his words to take him.

16 And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we see that you are true, and that you are teaching the true way of God, and have no fear of anyone, because you have no respect for a man's position.

17 Give us, then, your opinion of this: Is it right to give tax to Caesar, or not?

18 But Jesus saw their trick and said, Oh false ones, why are you attempting to put me in the wrong?

19 Let me see the tax money. And they gave him a penny.

20 And he said to them, Whose is this image and name on it?

21 They say to him, Caesar's. Then he said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's.

22 And hearing it, they were full of wonder, and went away from him.

23 On the same day there came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no coming back from the dead: and they put a question to him, saying,

24 Master, Moses said, If a man, at the time of his death, has no children, let his brother take his wife, and get a family for his brother;

25 Now there were among us seven brothers; and the first was married and at his death, having no seed, gave his wife to his brother;

26 In the same way the second and the third, up to the seventh.

27 And last of all the woman came to her end.

28 When they come back from the dead, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? because they all had her.

29 But Jesus said to them in answer, You are in error, not having knowledge of the Writings, or of the power of God.

30 For when they come back from the dead there are no husbands and wives, but they are as the angels in heaven.

31 But about the dead coming back to life, have you no knowledge of what was said to you by God in the Writings:

32 I 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.

33 And the people hearing it were surprised at his teaching.

34 But the Pharisees, hearing how the mouths of the Sadducees had been stopped, came together;

35 And one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, testing him, and saying,

36 Master, which is the chief rule in the law?

37 And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

38 This is the first and greatest rule.

39 And a second like it is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

40 On these two rules all the law and the prophets are based.

41 Now while the Pharisees were together, Jesus put a question to them, saying,

42 What is your opinion of the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, The Son of David.

43 He says to them, How then does David in the Spirit give him the name of Lord, saying,

44 The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put under your feet all those who are against you?

45 If David then gives him the name of Lord, how is he his son?

46 And no one was able to give him an answer, and so great was their fear of him, that from that day no one put any more questions to him.

1 2 And, in reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach again spoke in meshalim (parables) to them, saying,

2 The Malchut HaShomayim is like a man, a Melech (King), who prepared a feast for the chasunoh (wedding) of Bno.

3 And the Melech sent out his servants to summon the Bnei HaChuppah (wedding invitees—Mt 9:15) to the chasunoh, and they did not want to come.

4 Again, the Melech sent out other servants, saying, Tell the Bnei HaChuppah, the wedding invitees, Hinei! My Seudah I have prepared, my oxen and fattened calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready: Come to the chasunoh!

5 But the Bnei HaChuppah, the chasunoh invitees, having treated it all as a mere trifle, departed, one to his farmer’s field, one to his business.

6 Meanwhile, the others seized the Mesharetim HaMelech (Ministers of the King) and abused them and killed them.

7 So the Melech was angry and, having sent his armies, the King destroyed those ratzchaniyot (murderers), and their city he burned.

8 Then the King says to his ministers, The chasunoh is ready, but the invited ones were not worthy.

9 Therefore, go to the intersections of the streets, and, whoever you find, invite as muzmanim (guests) to the chasunoh.

10 And having gone out to the highways, those ministers congregated everyone they found, rah and tov, and the chasunoh was filled with muzmanim (guests).

11 And the Melech, having entered to see the ones sitting bimesibba (reclining at tish), spotted there a man lacking the attire proper for the chasunoh [see Yn 3:3,5].

12 And the Melech says to him, Chaver, how did you get in here, not having the attire proper for the chasunoh? But the man had nothing to say.

13 Then the King said to the servants, Bind him feet and hands and expel him into the outer choshech, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.

14 For the invited ones are many, but the nivcharim (chosen ones) are few.

15 Then, having departed, the Perushim took counsel together so that they might entrap Yehoshua in his own words.

16 And they are sending to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach their talmidim with the Herodians, saying, Rabbi, we know that you are an ehrliche Yid (a good Jew) and of the Derech Hashem you give Divrei Torah in Emes, and you show no deference to flesh, for you are impartial toward Bnei Adam.

17 Therefore, tell us what to you seems right: is it mutar (permissible) to pay poll tax to Caesar or not?

18 But he, having known their rah (evil), said to them, Why do you test me, tzevuim?

19 Show me the coin of the poll tax. And they brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach a denarius.

20 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Whose image is this and whose title?

21 They say to him, Caesar’s. Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Give, therefore, unto Caesar the things of Caesar, and the things of Hashem, give unto Hashem.

22 And having heard this, they were amazed and, having left Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, they went away.

23 On that day some Tzedukim (Sadducees) approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, There is no Techiyas HaMesim! And they interrogated Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach,

24 Saying, Rabbi, Moshe Rabbenu said that if someone dies, not having banim, his brother shall marry his isha (wife) to raise up zera (seed) for his brother.

25 Now there were among us shiva achim (seven brothers), and the first, having married, died. And not having zera (offspring), left his isha to his brother.

26 Likewise, also the second brother, and the third, up to the seventh.

27 And last of all, the isha died.

28 In the Techiyas HaMesim, therefore, she will be the wife of which of the seven? For all had her.

29 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply to them, You are in error, not having known the Kitvei Hakodesh or the gevurat Hashem (power of G-d).

30 For in the Techiyas HaMesim they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like the malachim in Shomayim.

31 But concerning the Techiyas HaMesim, have you not read the thing spoken to you by Hashem, saying,

32 ANOCHI ELOHEI AVRAHAM ELOHEI YITZCHAK VEELOHEI YAAKOV (I am the G-d of Avraham, the G-d of Yitzchak, and the G-d of Yaakov, [SHEMOT 3:6])? Hashem is not the G-d of the Mesim (dead ones) but the G-d of the Chayyim (living).

33 And having heard this, the multitudes were amazed at Moshiach’s torah (teaching).

34 But the Perushim, having heard that he silenced the Tzedukim, assembled together,

35 And one of them, a Baal Torah (learned Torah scholar, a Ben Torah), tried to trip up Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach with a she’elah (question):

36 Rabbi, which mitzvah is gedolah (great) in the Torah?

37 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave this teshuva (answer) to the Baal Torah, VAHAVTAH ES ADONOI ELOHECHA BCHOL LEVAVCHA UVCHOL NAFSHECHA UVCHOL MODECHA (And thou shalt love the L-rd thy G-d with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might [DEVARIM 6:5]).

38 This is the gedolah and rishonah mitzvah.

39 And the second mitzvah is like it: VAHAVTAH LREIACHA KAMOCHA (And thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, [VAYIKRA 19:18]).

40 On these two mitzvot hang the entire Torah and the Neviim.

41 And, the Perushim, having been assembled, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach confronted with this she’elah,

42 Saying, What do you think concerning the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach? Whose Ben is he? The Perushim gave this teshuva (answer) to him: Ben Dovid.

43 Moshiach says to them, How then can Dovid, in the Ruach Hakodesh, call Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adon?... saying

44 NEUM HASHEM LAADONI, SHEV LIMINI AD ASHIT OYVECHA HADOM LERAGLECHA (Utterance of Hashem to my L-rd, Sit at My right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet TEHILLIM 110:1).

45 Therefore, if Dovid calls him Adon [i.e., Adoneinu], how is Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach [merely] Ben Dovid? [cf. MALACHI 3:1; ZECHARYAH 4:14]

46 And no one was able to give an answer to him, nor did anyone dare to pose another she’elah (question) to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach from that day on.
