4 “Kenaka anatumiza antchito ena nati, ‘Awuzeni oyitanidwa kuti phwando lakonzedwa: ndapha ngʼombe yayimuna ndi nyama zina zonenepa ndipo zonse zakonzedwa. Bwerani ku phwando laukwati.’
5 “Koma iwo sanalabadire ndipo anachoka; wina anapita ku munda wake ndi wina ku malonda ake. 6 Ndipo otsalawo anagwira antchito ake, nawazunza ndi kuwapha. 7 Mfumu inakwiya. Inatumiza asilikali ake ndipo anawononga opha anzawowo ndi kutentha mzinda wawo.
8 “Pamenepo anati kwa antchito ake, ‘Phwando laukwati lakonzedwa, koma amene ndinawayitana sanali oyenera. 9 Pitani ku mphambano za misewu ndipo kayitaneni aliyense amene mukamupeze kuti abwere ku phwando.’ 10 Pamenepo antchitowo anapita ku misewu nakasonkhanitsa anthu onse amene anakawapeza, abwino ndi oyipa omwe, ndipo nyumba ya madyerero inadzaza ndi oyitanidwa.
11 “Koma pamene mfumu inabwera kudzaona oyitanidwawo, inaona munthu amene sanavale zovala zaukwati. 12 Inamufunsa kuti, ‘Bwenzi walowa bwanji muno wopanda zovala zaukwati?’ Munthuyo anakhala chete.
13 “Pamenepo mfumuyo inawuza otumikira kuti, ‘Mʼmangeni manja ndi miyendo, ndipo muponyeni kunja, ku mdima kumene kudzakhale kulira ndi kukuta mano.’
14 “Popeza oyitanidwa ndi ambiri koma osankhidwa ndi ochepa.”

15 Kenaka Afarisi anatuluka nakakonza njira zomupezera zifukwa Yesu mʼmawu ake. 16 Anatumiza ophunzira awo kwa Iye pamodzi ndi Aherodia. Anati, “Aphunzitsi, tidziwa kuti ndinu wangwiro ndi kuti mumaphunzitsa mawu a Mulungu monga mwa choonadi. Simutekeseka ndi anthu, popeza simusamala kuti kodi ndi ndani? 17 Tiwuzeni tsono maganizo anu ndi otani, kodi nʼkololedwa kupereka msonkho kwa Kaisara kapena ayi?”
18 Koma Yesu podziwa maganizo awo oyipa anati, “Inu achiphamaso, bwanji mufuna kundipezera chifukwa? 19 Onetseni ndalama imene mumapereka msonkho.” Iwo anabweretsa dinari, 20 ndipo anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi chithunzi ichi ndi malemba awa ndi za ndani?”
21 Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ndi za Kaisara.”
Pamenepo anawawuza kuti, “Perekani kwa Kaisara zake za Kaisara, ndi kwa Mulungu zake za Mulungu.”
22 Atamva izi, anadabwa, ndipo anamusiya Iye, nachoka.

23 Tsiku lomwelo Asaduki amene amati kulibe za kuukanso, anabwera kwa Iye ndi funso. 24 Iwo anati, “Aphunzitsi, Mose anatiwuza kuti munthu akamwalira wosasiya ana, mʼbale wake akuyenera kukwatira mkazi wamasiyeyo kuti amuberekere ana mʼbale wakeyo. 25 Tsopano panali abale asanu ndi awiri pakati pathu. Woyambayo anakwatira ndipo anamwalira, ndipo popeza analibe ana, mʼbale wake analowa chokolo. 26 Izi zinachitikiranso mʼbale wa chiwiri ndi wachitatu mpaka wachisanu ndi chiwiri. 27 Pa mapeto pake mkaziyo anamwaliranso. 28 Tsopano, kodi akadzaukitsidwa adzakhala mkazi wa ndani mwa asanu ndi awiriwa popeza aliyense anamukwatirapo?”
29 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Inu mukulakwitsa chifukwa simukudziwa malemba kapena mphamvu ya Mulungu. 30 Anthu akadzaukitsidwa, sadzakwatira kapena kukwatiwa; adzakhala ngati angelo kumwamba. 31 Koma za kuukitsidwa kwa akufa, kodi simunawerenge zimene Mulungu ananena kwa inu kuti, 32 ‘Ine ndine Mulungu wa Abrahamu, Mulungu wa Isake ndi Mulungu wa Yakobo?’ Iyeyo si Mulungu wa akufa koma wa amoyo.”

43 Iye anawawuza kuti, “Nanga zikutheka bwanji kuti Davide poyankhula mwa Mzimu Woyera amatchula Iye ‘Ambuye?’ Pakuti akuti,
44 “Ambuye anati kwa Ambuye wanga:
‘Khala pa dzanja langa lamanja
mpaka ndiyike adani ako
pansi pa mapazi ako.’
45 Ngati tsono Davide amamutchula ‘Ambuye,’ zingatheke bwanji kukhala mwana wake?” 46 Panalibe wina anatha kuyankha, ndipo kuchokera pamenepo, panalibe wina anayerekeza kumufunsa funso.

Matthew 22
New International Version
The Parable of the Wedding Banquet(A)
22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like(B) a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants(C) 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(D) 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(E) 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(F) 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,(G) 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(H)?’ 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.’(I)
14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”(J)
Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar(K)
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.(L) “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[a](M) 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,(N) and to God what is God’s.”
22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.(O)
Marriage at the Resurrection(P)
23 That same day the Sadducees,(Q) who say there is no resurrection,(R) 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.(S) 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(T) or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage;(U) 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’[b]?(V) He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.(W)
The Greatest Commandment(X)
34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees,(Y) the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law,(Z) 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.’[c](AA) 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d](AB) 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”(AC)
Whose Son Is the Messiah?(AD)
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,”(AE) 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.”’[e](AF)
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.(AG)
