Matthew 22

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 And Jesus answered and spoke unto them again in parables and said,

2 "The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a certain king, who made a marriage for his son.

3 And he 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 that 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, and another to his merchandise,

6 and the remnant took his servants and treated 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 said he to his servants, `The wedding is ready, but they that 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 all together 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 who did not have on a wedding garment.

12 And he said 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 the Pharisees went 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 Show Me the tribute money." And they brought unto Him a penny.

20 And He said unto them, "Whose is this image and superscription?"

21 And they said unto Him, "Caesar's." Then said 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 marveled, and left Him and went their way.

23 The same day the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to Him 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, died; and having no issue, he 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 concerning 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, who 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 neighbor 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 said unto Him, "The son of David."

43 He said unto them, "How then doth David in the Spirit call Him `Lord,' saying,

44 `The LORD said unto my Lord, "Sit Thou on My right hand until 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 dared 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.
