Matthew 22

New Century Version NCV

1 Jesus again used stories to teach the people. He said,

2 "The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding feast for his son.

3 The king invited some people to the feast. When the feast was ready, the king sent his servants to tell the people, but they refused to come.

4 "Then the king sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those who have been invited that my feast is ready. I have killed my best bulls and calves for the dinner, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.'

5 "But the people refused to listen to the servants and left to do other things. One went to work in his field, and another went to his business.

6 Some of the other people grabbed the servants, beat them, and killed them.

7 The king was furious and sent his army to kill the murderers and burn their city.

8 "After that, the king said to his servants, 'The wedding feast is ready. I invited those people, but they were not worthy to come.

9 So go to the street corners and invite everyone you find to come to my feast.'

10 So the servants went into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11 "When the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man who was not dressed for a wedding.

12 The king said, 'Friend, how were you allowed to come in here? You are not dressed for a wedding.' But the man said nothing.

13 So the king told some servants, 'Tie this man's hands and feet. Throw him out into the darkness, where people will cry and grind their teeth with pain.'

14 "Yes, many people are invited, but only a few are chosen."

15 Then the Pharisees left that place and made plans to trap Jesus in saying something wrong.

16 They sent some of their own followers and some people from the group called Herodians. They said, "Teacher, we know that you are an honest man and that you teach the truth about God's way. You are not afraid of what other people think about you, because you pay no attention to who they are.

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

18 But knowing that these leaders were trying to trick him, Jesus said, "You hypocrites! Why are you trying to trap me?

19 Show me a coin used for paying the tax." So the men showed him a coin.

20 Then Jesus asked, "Whose image and name are on the coin?"

21 The men answered, "Caesar's." Then Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and give to God the things that are God's."

22 When the men heard what Jesus said, they were amazed and left him and went away.

23 That same day some Sadducees came to Jesus and asked him a question. (Sadducees believed that people would not rise from the dead.)

24 They said, "Teacher, Moses said if a married man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him.

25 Once there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died. Since he had no children, his brother married the widow.

26 Then the second brother also died. The same thing happened to the third brother and all the other brothers.

27 Finally, the woman died.

28 Since all seven men had married her, when people rise from the dead, whose wife will she be?"

29 Jesus answered, "You don't understand, because you don't know what the Scriptures say, and you don't know about the power of God.

30 When people rise from the dead, they will not marry, nor will they be given to someone to marry. They will be like the angels in heaven.

31 Surely you have read what God said to you about rising from the dead.

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

33 When the people heard this, they were amazed at Jesus' teaching.

34 When the Pharisees learned that the Sadducees could not argue with Jesus' answers to them, the Pharisees met together.

35 One Pharisee, who was an expert on the law of Moses, asked Jesus this question to test him:

36 "Teacher, which command in the law is the most important?"

37 Jesus answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.'

38 This is the first and most important command.

39 And the second command is like the first: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.'

40 All the law and the writings of the prophets depend on these two commands."

41 While the Pharisees were together, Jesus asked them,

42 "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" They answered, "The Christ is the Son of David."

43 Then Jesus said to them, "Then why did David call him 'Lord'? David, speaking by the power of the Holy Spirit, said,

44 'The Lord said to my Lord: Sit by me at my right side, until I put your enemies under your control.'

45 David calls the Christ 'Lord,' so how can the Christ be his son?"

46 None of the Pharisees could answer Jesus' question, and after that day no one was brave enough to ask him any more questions.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et respondens Iesus dixit iterum in parabolis eis dicens

2 simile factum est regnum caelorum homini regi qui fecit nuptias filio suo

3 et misit servos suos vocare invitatos ad nuptias et nolebant venire

4 iterum misit alios servos dicens dicite invitatis ecce prandium meum paravi tauri mei et altilia occisa et omnia parata venite ad nuptias

5 illi autem neglexerunt et abierunt alius in villam suam alius vero ad negotiationem suam

6 reliqui vero tenuerunt servos eius et contumelia adfectos occiderunt

7 rex autem cum audisset iratus est et missis exercitibus suis perdidit homicidas illos et civitatem illorum succendit

8 tunc ait servis suis nuptiae quidem paratae sunt sed qui invitati erant non fuerunt digni

9 ite ergo ad exitus viarum et quoscumque inveneritis vocate ad nuptias

10 et egressi servi eius in vias congregaverunt omnes quos invenerunt malos et bonos et impletae sunt nuptiae discumbentium

11 intravit autem rex ut videret discumbentes et vidit ibi hominem non vestitum veste nuptiali

12 et ait illi amice quomodo huc intrasti non habens vestem nuptialem at ille obmutuit

13 tunc dixit rex ministris ligatis pedibus eius et manibus mittite eum in tenebras exteriores ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium

14 multi autem sunt vocati pauci vero electi

15 tunc abeuntes Pharisaei consilium inierunt ut caperent eum in sermone

16 et mittunt ei discipulos suos cum Herodianis dicentes magister scimus quia verax es et viam Dei in veritate doces et non est tibi cura de aliquo non enim respicis personam hominum

17 dic ergo nobis quid tibi videatur licet censum dare Caesari an non

18 cognita autem Iesus nequitia eorum ait quid me temptatis hypocritae

19 ostendite mihi nomisma census at illi obtulerunt ei denarium

20 et ait illis Iesus cuius est imago haec et suprascriptio

21 dicunt ei Caesaris tunc ait illis reddite ergo quae sunt Caesaris Caesari et quae sunt Dei Deo

22 et audientes mirati sunt et relicto eo abierunt

23 in illo die accesserunt ad eum Sadducaei qui dicunt non esse resurrectionem et interrogaverunt eum

24 dicentes magister Moses dixit si quis mortuus fuerit non habens filium ut ducat frater eius uxorem illius et suscitet semen fratri suo

25 erant autem apud nos septem fratres et primus uxore ducta defunctus est et non habens semen reliquit uxorem suam fratri suo

26 similiter secundus et tertius usque ad septimum

27 novissime autem omnium et mulier defuncta est

28 in resurrectione ergo cuius erit de septem uxor omnes enim habuerunt eam

29 respondens autem Iesus ait illis erratis nescientes scripturas neque virtutem Dei

30 in resurrectione enim neque nubent neque nubentur sed sunt sicut angeli Dei in caelo

31 de resurrectione autem mortuorum non legistis quod dictum est a Deo dicente vobis

32 ego sum Deus Abraham et Deus Isaac et Deus Iacob non est Deus mortuorum sed viventium

33 et audientes turbae mirabantur in doctrina eius

34 Pharisaei autem audientes quod silentium inposuisset Sadducaeis convenerunt in unum

35 et interrogavit eum unus ex eis legis doctor temptans eum

36 magister quod est mandatum magnum in lege

37 ait illi Iesus diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo et in tota anima tua et in tota mente tua

38 hoc est maximum et primum mandatum

39 secundum autem simile est huic diliges proximum tuum sicut te ipsum

40 in his duobus mandatis universa lex pendet et prophetae

41 congregatis autem Pharisaeis interrogavit eos Iesus

42 dicens quid vobis videtur de Christo cuius filius est dicunt ei David

43 ait illis quomodo ergo David in spiritu vocat eum Dominum dicens

44 dixit Dominus Domino meo sede a dextris meis donec ponam inimicos tuos scabillum pedum tuorum

45 si ergo David vocat eum Dominum quomodo filius eius est

46 et nemo poterat respondere ei verbum neque ausus fuit quisquam ex illa die eum amplius interrogare
