Matthew 22

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:

2 The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king who made a marriage for his son.

3 And he sent his servants to call them that were invited to the marriage: and they would not come.

4 Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come ye to the marriage.

5 But they neglected and went their ways, one to his farm and another to his merchandise.

6 And the rest laid hands on his servants and, having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.

7 But when the king had heard of it, he was angry: and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers and burnt their city.

8 Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.

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

10 And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests.

11 And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.

12 And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having on a wedding garment? But he was silent.

13 Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

15 Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech.

16 And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker and teachest the way of God in truth. Neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men.

17 Tell us therefore what dost thou think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

18 But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites?

19 Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny.

20 And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?

21 They say to him: Caesar’s. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God, the things that are God’s.

22 And hearing this, they wondered and, leaving him, went their ways.

23 That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him,

24 Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up issue to his brother.

25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his brother.

26 In like manner the second and the third and so on, to the seventh.

27 And last of all the woman died also.

28 At the resurrection therefore, whose wife of the seven shall she be? For they all had her.

29 And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married, but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.

31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you:

32 I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.

33 And the multitudes hearing it were in admiration at his doctrine.

34 But the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together.

35 And one of them, a doctor of the law, asked him, tempting him:

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

37 Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind.

38 This is the greatest and the first commandment.

39 And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.

41 And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them,

42 Saying: What think you of Christ? Whose son is he? They say to him: David’s.

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

44 The Lord said to my Lord: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy 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.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Again Jesus used stories as illustrations when he spoke to them. He said,

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

3 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the wedding, but they refused to come.

4 He sent other servants to tell the people who had been invited, 'I've prepared dinner. My bulls and fattened calves have been butchered. Everything is ready. Come to the wedding!'

5 "But they paid no attention and went away. Some went to work in their own fields, and others went to their businesses.

6 The rest grabbed the king's servants, mistreated them, and then killed them.

7 "The king became angry. He sent his soldiers, killed those murderers, and burned their city.

8 "Then the king said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited don't deserve the honor.

9 Go where the roads leave the city. Invite everyone you find to the wedding.'

10 The servants went into the streets and brought in all the good people and all the evil people they found. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11 "When the king came to see the guests, he saw a person who was not dressed in the wedding clothes [provided for the guests].

12 He said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without proper wedding clothes?' "The man had nothing to say.

13 Then the king told his servants, 'Tie his hands and feet, and throw him outside into the darkness. People will cry and be in extreme pain there.'

14 "Therefore, many are invited, but few of those are chosen to stay."

15 Then the Pharisees went away and planned to trap Jesus into saying the wrong thing.

16 They sent their disciples to him along with Herod's followers. They said to him, "Teacher, we know that you tell the truth and that you teach the truth about the way of God. You don't favor individuals because of who they are.

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

18 Jesus recognized their evil plan, so he asked, "Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

19 Show me a coin used to pay taxes." They brought him a coin.

20 He said to them, "Whose face and name is this?"

21 They replied, "The emperor's." Then he said to them, "Very well, give the emperor what belongs to the emperor, and give God what belongs to God."

22 They were surprised to hear this. Then they left him alone and went away.

23 On that day some Sadducees, who say that people will never come back to life, came to Jesus. They asked him,

24 "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies childless, his brother should marry his widow and have children for his brother.'

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

26 The second brother also died, as well as the third, and the rest of the seven brothers.

27 At last the woman died.

28 Now, when the dead come back to life, whose wife will she be? All seven brothers had been married to her."

29 Jesus answered, "You're mistaken because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power.

30 When people come back to life, they don't marry. Rather, they are like the angels in heaven.

31 Haven't you read what God told you about the dead coming back to life? He said,

32 'I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.' He's not the God of the dead but of the living."

33 He amazed the crowds who heard his teaching.

34 When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

35 One of them, an expert in Moses' Teachings, tested Jesus by asking,

36 "Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in Moses' Teachings?"

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

38 This is the greatest and most important commandment.

39 The second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.'

40 All of Moses' Teachings and the Prophets depend on these two commandments."

41 While the Pharisees were still gathered, Jesus asked them,

42 "What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?" They answered him, "David's."

43 He said to them, "Then how can David, guided by the Spirit, call him Lord? David says,

44 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Take the highest position in heaven until I put your enemies under your control."'

45 If David calls him Lord, how can he be his son?"

46 No one could answer him, and from that time on no one dared to ask him another question.
