Matthew 22

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Yeshua again used parables in speaking to them:

2 "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding feast for his son,

3 but when he sent his slaves to summon the invited guests to the wedding, they refused to come.

4 So he sent some more slaves, instructing them to tell the guests, `Look, I've prepared my banquet, I've slaughtered my bulls and my fattened cattle, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding!'

5 But they weren't interested and went off, one to his farm, another to his business;

6 and the rest grabbed his slaves, mistreated them and killed them.

7 The king was furious and sent his soldiers, who killed those murderers and burned down their city.

8 "Then he said to his slaves, `Well, the wedding feast is ready; but the ones who were invited didn't deserve it.

9 So go out to the street-corners and invite to the banquet as many as you find.'

10 The slaves went out into the streets, gathered all the people they could find, the bad along with the good; and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11 "Now when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who wasn't dressed for a wedding; so he asked him,

12 `Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' The man was speechless.

13 Then the king said to the servants, `Bind him hand and foot, and throw him outside in the dark!' In that place people will wail and grind their teeth,

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

15 Then the P'rushim went away and put together a plan to trap Yeshua with his own words.

16 They sent him some of their talmidim and some members of Herod's party. They said, "Rabbi, we know that you tell the truth and really teach what God's way is. You aren't concerned with what other people think about you, since you pay no attention to a person's status.

17 So tell us your opinion: does Torah permit paying taxes to the Roman Emperor or not?"

18 Yeshua, however, knowing their malicious intent, said, "You hypocrites! Why are you trying to trap me?

19 Show me the coin used to pay the tax!" They brought him a denarius;

20 and he asked them, "Whose name and picture are these?"

21 "The Emperor's," they replied. Yeshua said to them, "Nu, give the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor. And give to God what belongs to God!"

22 On hearing this, they were amazed; and they left him and went away.

23 That same day, some Tz'dukim came to him. They are the ones who say there is no such thing as resurrection, so they put to him a sh'eilah:

24 "Rabbi, Moshe said, `If a man dies childless, his brother must marry his widow and have children to preserve the man's family line.'

25 There were seven brothers. The first one married and then died; and since he had no children, he left his widow to his brother.

26 The same thing happened to the second brother, and the third, and finally to all seven.

27 After them all, the woman died.

28 Now in the Resurrection -- of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all married her."

29 Yeshua answered them, "The reason you go astray is that you are ignorant both of the Tanakh and of the power of God.

30 For in the Resurrection, neither men nor women will marry; rather, they will be like angels in heaven.

31 And as for whether the dead are resurrected, haven't you read what God said to you,

32 `I am the God of Avraham, the God of Yitz'chak and the God of Ya`akov'? He is God not of the dead but of the living!"

33 When the crowds heard how he taught, they were astounded;

34 but when the P'rushim learned that he had silenced the Tz'dukim, they got together,

35 and one of them who was a Torah expert asked a sh'eilah to trap him:

36 "Rabbi, which of the mitzvot in the Torah is the most important?"

37 He told him, "`You are to love ADONAI your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.'

38 This is the greatest and most important mitzvah.

39 And a second is similar to it, `You are to love your neighbor as yourself.'

40 All of the Torah and the Prophets are dependent on these two mitzvot."

41 Then, turning to the assembled P'rushim, Yeshua put a sh'eilah to them:

42 "Tell me your view concerning the Messiah: whose son is he?" They said to him, "David's."

43 "Then how is it," he asked them, "that David, inspired by the Spirit, calls him `Lord,' when he says,

44 `ADONAI said to my Lord, "Sit here at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet"'?

45 If David thus calls him `Lord,' how is he his son?"

46 No one could think of anything to say in reply; and from that day on, no one dared put to him another sh'eilah.

King James Version KJV

1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

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

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said,Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

20 And he saith unto them,Whose is this image and superscription?

21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them,Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:

26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

27 And last of all the woman died also.

28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

29 Jesus answered and said unto them,Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

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

31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

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 when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him,Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

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 think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.

43 He saith unto them,How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
