  • 1 The Parable of the Wedding Banquet Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying:
  • 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
  • 3 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
  • 4 “Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
  • 5 “But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business.
  • 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them.
  • 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
  • 8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.
  • 9 So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’
  • 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
  • 11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.
  • 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.
  • 13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
  • 14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.” Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar
  • 15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words.
  • 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are.
  • 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax 22:17 A special tax levied on subject peoples, not on Roman citizens to Caesar or not?”
  • 18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me?
  • 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius,
  • 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
  • 21 “Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
  • 22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away. Marriage at the Resurrection
  • 23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
  • 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
  • 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.
  • 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh.
  • 27 Finally, the woman died.
  • 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”
  • 29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
  • 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
  • 31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you,
  • 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’ 22:32 Exodus 3:6 ? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
  • 33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching. The Greatest Commandment
  • 34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together.
  • 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:
  • 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
  • 37 Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 22:37 Deut. 6:5
  • 38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
  • 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 22:39 Lev. 19:18
  • 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Whose Son Is the Messiah?
  • 41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
  • 42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?” “The son of David,” they replied.
  • 43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord’? For he says,
  • 44 “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.” ’ 22:44 Psalm 110:1
  • 45 If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?”
  • 46 No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.
