Parábola del banquete de bodas

22 Jesús comenzó a hablarles otra vez en parábolas, diciendo: 2 «(A)El reino de los cielos puede compararse a[a]un rey[b]que hizo un banquete de bodas(B)para su hijo. 3 Y envió a sus siervos(C)a llamar a los que habían sido invitados a las bodas, pero no quisieron venir. 4 De nuevo envió otros siervos(D), diciéndoles: “Digan a los que han sido invitados: ‘Ya he preparado mi banquete; he matado mis novillos y animales cebados, y todo está preparado; vengan a las bodas’”. 5 Pero ellos no hicieron caso y se fueron: uno a su campo, otro a sus negocios, 6 y los demás, echando mano a los siervos, los maltrataron y los mataron.

7 »Entonces el rey se enfureció, y enviando sus ejércitos, destruyó a aquellos asesinos e incendió su ciudad. 8 Luego dijo* a sus siervos: “La boda está preparada, pero los que fueron invitados no eran dignos. 9 Vayan, por tanto, a las salidas de los caminos(E), e inviten a las bodas a cuantos encuentren”. 10 Aquellos siervos salieron por los caminos, y reunieron a todos los que encontraron, tanto malos como buenos; y el salón de bodas se llenó de invitados[c].

11 »Pero cuando el rey entró a ver a los invitados, vio allí a uno que no estaba vestido con traje de boda(F) , 12 y le dijo*: “Amigo(G), ¿cómo entraste aquí sin[d]traje de boda?”. Pero el hombre se quedó callado. 13 El rey entonces dijo a los sirvientes: “Átenle las manos y los pies, y échenlo a las tinieblas de afuera; allí será el llanto y el crujir de dientes(H)”. 14 Porque muchos son llamados[e], pero pocos son escogidos(I)».

El pago del impuesto a César

15 (J)Entonces los fariseos se fueron y deliberaron entre sí cómo atrapar a Jesús en alguna palabra que Él dijera. 16 Y los fariseos enviaron* algunos de sus discípulos junto con los partidarios de Herodes(K), diciendo: «Maestro, sabemos que eres veraz y que enseñas el camino de Dios con verdad, y no buscas el favor[f] de nadie, porque eres imparcial[g]. 17 Dinos, pues, cuál es Tu opinión: ¿Está permitido pagar[h] impuesto(L) a César(M), o no?».

18 Pero Jesús, conociendo su malicia, dijo: «¿Por qué me ponen a prueba, hipócritas? 19 Traigan la moneda(N)que se usa para pagar ese impuesto». Y le trajeron un denario[i]. 20 Y Él les preguntó*: «¿De quién es esta imagen y esta inscripción?». 21 Ellos le dijeron*: «De César». Entonces Él les dijo*: «Pues den a César lo que es de César, y a Dios lo que es de Dios(O)». 22 Al oír esto, se maravillaron; lo dejaron y se fueron(P).

Pregunta sobre la resurrección

23 (Q)Ese día se acercaron a Jesús algunos saduceos(R), los que dicen que no hay resurrección(S), 24 y le dijeron: «Maestro, Moisés dijo: “Si alguien muere sin tener hijos, su hermano, como pariente más cercano, se casará con su mujer y levantará descendencia a su hermano(T)”. 25 Ahora bien, había entre nosotros siete hermanos; el primero se casó, y murió; pero no teniendo descendencia, le dejó la mujer a su hermano. 26 De igual manera también el segundo, y el tercero, hasta el séptimo. 27 Y después de todos, murió la mujer. 28 Por tanto, en la resurrección, ¿de cuál de los siete será mujer? Porque todos ellos la tuvieron».

29 Pero Jesús les respondió: «Están equivocados por no comprender[j]las Escrituras ni el poder de Dios(U). 30 Porque en la resurrección, ni se casan(V)ni son dados en matrimonio, sino que son como los ángeles de Dios[k]en el cielo. 31 Y en cuanto a la resurrección de los muertos, ¿no han leído lo que les fue dicho por Dios, cuando dijo: 32 “Yo soy el Dios de Abraham, y el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob(W)”? Él no es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos». 33 Al oír esto, las multitudes se admiraban de Su enseñanza(X).

El gran mandamiento

34 (Y)Los fariseos se agruparon al oír que Jesús había dejado callados a los saduceos(Z). 35 Uno de ellos, intérprete de la ley[l](AA), para poner a prueba[m] a Jesús, le preguntó: 36 «Maestro, ¿cuál es el gran mandamiento de la ley?».

37 Y Él le contestó: «Amarás al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, y con toda tu alma, y con toda tu mente(AB). 38 Este es el grande y primer mandamiento. 39 Y el segundo es semejante a este: Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo(AC). 40 De estos dos mandamientos dependen toda la ley y los profetas(AD)».

Jesús, Hijo y Señor de David

41 (AE)Estando reunidos los fariseos, Jesús les hizo una pregunta: 42 «¿Cuál es la opinión de ustedes sobre el Cristo? ¿De quién es hijo?». «De David(AF)», le contestaron* ellos.

43 Jesús les dijo*: «Entonces, ¿cómo es que David en el Espíritu[n](AG)lo llama “Señor”, diciendo:

44 “Dijo el Señor a mi Señor:
‘Siéntate a Mi diestra,
Hasta que ponga a Tus enemigos debajo de Tus pies(AH) ’”?

45 Pues si David lo llama “Señor”, ¿cómo es Él su hijo?». 46 Y nadie le pudo contestar ni una palabra(AI), ni ninguno desde ese día se atrevió a hacer más preguntas a Jesús.

The Parable of the Wedding Feast(A)

22 And Jesus answered (B)and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4 Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; (C)my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” ’ 5 But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6 And the rest seized his servants, treated them [a]spitefully, and killed them. 7 But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out (D)his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not (E)worthy. 9 Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ 10 So those servants went out into the highways and (F)gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there (G)who did not have on a wedding garment. 12 So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was (H)speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, [b]take him away, and cast him (I)into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

14 (J)“For many are called, but few are chosen.”

The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?(K)

15 (L)Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk. 16 And they sent to Him their disciples with the (M)Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not [c]regard the person of men. 17 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

18 But Jesus [d]perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show Me the tax money.”

So they brought Him a denarius.

20 And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”

21 They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”

And He said to them, (N)“Render[e] therefore to Caesar the things that are (O)Caesar’s, and to God the things that are (P)God’s.” 22 When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.

The Sadducees: What About the Resurrection?(Q)

23 (R)The same day the Sadducees, (S)who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, 24 saying: “Teacher, (T)Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother. 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh. 27 Last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.”

29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are [f]mistaken, (U)not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but (V)are like angels [g]of God in heaven. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, 32 (W)‘I am the God of Abraham, 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 multitudes heard this, (X)they were astonished at His teaching.

The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?(Y)

34 (Z)But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 Then one of them, (AA)a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”

37 Jesus said to him, (AB)“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: (AC)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 (AD)On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

Jesus: How Can David Call His Descendant Lord?(AE)

41 (AF)While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?”

They said to Him, “The (AG)Son of David.”

43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:

44 ‘The(AH) Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool” ’?

45 If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?” 46 (AI)And no one was able to answer Him a word, (AJ)nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore.

Parable of the Marriage Feast

22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. 3 And he sent his servants to call those who had [previously] been invited to the wedding feast, but they refused to come. 4 Then he sent out some other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Look, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fattened calves are butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast.”’ 5 But they paid no attention [they disregarded the invitation, treating it with contempt] and went away, one to his farm, another to his business. 6 The rest [of the invited guests] seized his servants and mistreated them [insulting and humiliating them] and killed them. 7 The king was enraged [when he heard this], and sent his soldiers and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding [feast] is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9 So go to the main highways that lead out of the city, and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ 10 Those servants went out into the streets and gathered together all the people they could find, both bad and good; so the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests [sitting at the banquet table].

11 “But when the king came in to see the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed [appropriately] in wedding clothes, 12 and he said, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without wearing the wedding clothes [that were provided for you]?’ And the man was speechless and without excuse. 13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the darkness outside; in that place there will be weeping [over sorrow and pain] and grinding of teeth [over distress and anger].’ 14 For many are called (invited, summoned), but few are chosen.”

Tribute to Caesar

15 Then the Pharisees went and conspired together plotting how to trap Him by [distorting] what He said.(A) 16 They sent their disciples to Him, along with the [a]Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are sincere and that You teach the way of God truthfully, without concerning Yourself about [what] anyone [thinks or says of Your teachings]; for You are impartial and do not seek anyone’s favor [and You treat all people alike, regardless of status]. 17 Tell us then, what do You think? Is it permissible [according to Jewish law and tradition] to pay a [b]poll-tax to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, asked, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a denarius [a day’s wage]. 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “[[c]The Emperor Tiberius] Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “Then pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.” 22 When they heard this, they were caught off guard, and they left Him and went away.

Jesus Answers the Sadducees

23 On that day some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection [of the dead], came to Him and asked Him a question,(B) 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, leaving no children, his brother as next of kin shall [d]marry his widow, and raise children for his brother.’(C) 25 Now there were seven brothers among us; the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother. 26 The second also [died childless], and the third, down to the seventh. 27 Last of all, the woman died. 28 So in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.”

29 But Jesus replied to them, “You are all wrong because you know neither the Scriptures [which teach the resurrection] nor the power of God [for He is able to raise the dead]. 30 For in the resurrection neither do men marry nor are women given in marriage, but they are like angels in heaven [who do not marry nor produce children]. 31 But as to the resurrection of the dead—have you not read [in the Scripture] what God said 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.”(D) 33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

34 Now when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced (muzzled) the Sadducees, they gathered together.(E) 35 One of them, a lawyer [an expert in Mosaic Law], asked Jesus a question, to test Him: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”(F) 37 And Jesus replied to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’(G) 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for others].’(H) 40 The whole Law and the [writings of the] Prophets depend on these two commandments.”

41 Now while the Pharisees were [still] gathered together, Jesus asked them a question:(I) 42 “What do you [Pharisees] think of the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed)? Whose Son is He?” They said to Him, “[e]The son of David.” 43 Jesus asked them, “How is it then that David by the inspiration of the Spirit, calls Him ‘Lord,’ saying,

44 
‘The Lord (the Father) said to my Lord (the Son, the Messiah),
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies under Your feet”’?(J)

45 So then, if David calls Him (the Son, the Messiah) ‘Lord,’ [f]how is He David’s son?” 46 No one was able to say a word to Him in answer, nor from that day on did anyone dare to question Him again.

  2. Matthew 22:17 Every Jew was required to pay the poll-tax. It was considered a sign of subservience to Rome.
  3. Matthew 22:21 Tiberius Caesar came to the throne after the death of his stepfather, Augustus, in a.d. 14 and ruled the Roman Empire until his death in a.d. 37. He was a brilliant military general, but an incompetent, irresponsible ruler. Most biblical references to “Caesar” refer to Tiberius.
  4. Matthew 22:24 The purpose of this was to carry on the family line and keep property within the family.
