Matthew 22

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Jesus told them more stories. He said,

2 "Here is what the kingdom of heaven is like. A king prepared a wedding dinner for his son.

3 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the dinner. The servants told them to come. But they refused.

4 "Then he sent some more servants. He said, 'Tell those who were invited that I have prepared my dinner. I have killed my oxen and my fattest cattle. Everything is ready. Come to the wedding dinner.'

5 "But the people paid no attention. One went away to his field. Another went away to his business.

6 The rest grabbed his servants. They treated them badly and then killed them.

7 "The king became very angry. He sent his army to destroy them. They killed those murderers and burned their city.

8 "Then the king said to his servants, 'The wedding dinner is ready. But those I invited were not fit to come.

9 Go to the street corners. Invite to the dinner anyone you can find.'

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

11 "The king came in to see the guests. He noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.

12 'Friend,' he asked, 'how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' The man couldn't think of anything to say.

13 "Then the king told his servants, 'Tie up his hands and feet. Throw him outside into the darkness. Out there people will sob and grind their teeth.'

14 "Many are invited, but few are chosen."

15 The Pharisees went out. They made plans to trap Jesus with his own words.

16 They sent their followers to him. They sent the Herodians with them. "Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of honor. You teach the way of God truthfully. You don't let others tell you what to do or say. You don't care how important they are.

17 Tell us then, what do you think? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

18 But Jesus knew their evil plans. He said, "You pretenders! Why are you trying to trap me?

19 Show me the coin people use for paying the tax." They brought him a silver coin.

20 He asked them, "Whose picture is this? And whose words?"

21 "Caesar's," they replied. Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. And give to God what belongs to God."

22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.

23 That same day the Sadducees came to Jesus with a question. They do not believe that people rise from the dead.

24 "Teacher," they said, "here is what Moses told us. If a man dies without having children, his brother must get married to the widow. He must have children to carry on his brother's name.

25 There were seven brothers among us. The first one got married and died. Since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.

26 The same thing happened to the second and third brothers. It happened right on down to the seventh brother.

27 Finally, the woman died.

28 Now then, when the dead rise, whose wife will she be? All seven of them were married to her."

29 Jesus replied, "You are mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures. And you do not know the power of God.

30 When the dead rise, they won't get married. And their parents won't give them to be married. They will be like the angels in heaven.

31 "What about the dead rising? Haven't you read what God said to you?

32 He said, 'I am the God of Abraham. I am the God of Isaac. And I am the God of Jacob.'(Exodus 3:6) He is not the God of the dead. He is the God of the living."

33 When the crowds heard this, they were amazed by what he taught.

34 The Pharisees heard that the Sadducees weren't able to answer Jesus. So the Pharisees got together.

35 One of them was an authority on the law. So he tested Jesus with a question.

36 "Teacher," he asked, "which is the most important commandment in the Law?"

37 Jesus replied, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your mind.'(Deuteronomy 6:5)

38 This is the first and most important commandment.

39 And the second is like it. 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.'(Leviticus 19:18)

40 Everything that is written in the Law and the Prophets is based on these two commandments."

41 The Pharisees were gathered together. Jesus asked them,

42 "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" "The son of David," they replied.

43 He said to them, "Then why does David call him 'Lord'? The Holy Spirit spoke through David himself. David said,

44 " 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your control." ' (Psalm 110:1)

45 So if David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be David's son?"

46 No one could answer him with a single word. From that day on, no one dared 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
