Matteus 22
Svenska 1917
22 Och Jesus begynte åter tala till dem i liknelser och sade:
2 »Med himmelriket är det, såsom när en konung gjorde bröllop åt sin son.
3 Han sände ut sina tjänare för att kalla till bröllopet dem som voro bjudna; men de ville icke komma.
4 Åter sände han ut andra tjänare och befallde dem att säga till dem som voro bjudna: 'Jag har nu tillrett min måltid, mina oxar och min gödboskap äro slaktade, och allt är redo; kommen till bröllopet.'
5 Men de aktade icke därpå, utan gingo bort, den ene till sitt jordagods, den andre till sin köpenskap.
6 Och de övriga grepo hans tjänare och misshandlade och dräpte dem.
7 Då blev konungen vred och sände ut sitt krigsfolk och förgjorde dråparna och brände upp deras stad.
8 Därefter sade han till sina tjänare: 'Bröllopet är tillrett, men de som voro bjudna voro icke värdiga.
9 Gån därför ut till vägskälen och bjuden till bröllopet alla som I träffen på.'
10 Och tjänarna gingo ut på vägarna och samlade tillhopa alla som de träffade på, både onda och goda, och bröllopssalen blev full av bordsgäster.
11 Men när konungen nu kom in för att se på gästerna, fick han där se en man som icke var klädd i bröllopskläder.
12 Då sade han till honom: 'Min vän, huru har du kommit hitin, då du icke bär bröllopskläder?' Och han kunde intet svara.
13 Då sade konungen till tjänarna: 'Gripen honom vid händer och fötter, och kasten honom ut i mörkret härutanför.' Där skall vara gråt och tandagnisslan.
14 Ty många äro kallade, men få utvalda.»
15 Därefter gingo fariséerna bort och fattade det beslutet att de skulle söka snärja honom genom något hans ord.
16 Och de sände till honom sina lärjungar, tillika med herodianerna, och läto dem säga: »Mästare, vi veta att du är sannfärdig och lär om Guds väg vad sant är, utan att fråga efter någon; ty du ser icke till personen.
17 Så säg oss då: Vad synes dig? Är det lovligt att giva kejsaren skatt, eller är det icke lovligt?»
18 Men Jesus märkte deras ondska och sade: »Varför söken I att snärja mig, I skrymtare?
19 Låten mig se skattepenningen.» Då lämnade de fram till honom en penning.
20 Därefter frågade han dem: »Vems bild och överskrift är detta?»
21 De svarade: »Kejsarens.» Då sade han till dem: »Så given då kejsaren vad kejsaren tillhör, och Gud vad Gud tillhör.»
22 När de hörde detta, förundrade de sig. Och de lämnade honom och gingo sin väg.
23 Samma dag trädde några sadducéer fram till honom och ville påstå att det icke gives någon uppståndelse; de frågade honom
24 och sade: »Mästare, Moses har sagt: 'Om någon dör barnlös, så skall hans broder i hans ställe äkta hans hustru och skaffa avkomma åt sin broder.'
25 Nu voro hos oss sju bröder. Den förste tog sig hustru och dog, och eftersom han icke hade någon avkomma, lämnade han sin hustru efter sig åt sin broder.
26 Sammalunda ock den andre och den tredje, allt intill den sjunde.
27 Sist av alla dog hustrun.
28 Vilken av de sju skall då vid uppståndelsen få henne till hustru? De hade ju alla äktat henne.»
29 Jesus svarade och sade till dem: »I faren vilse, ty I förstån icke skrifterna, ej heller Guds kraft.
30 Vid uppståndelsen taga män sig icke hustrur, ej heller givas hustrur åt män, utan de äro då såsom änglarna i himmelen.
31 Men vad nu angår de dödas uppståndelse, haven I icke läst vad eder är sagt av Gud:
32 'Jag är Abrahams Gud och Isaks Gud och Jakobs Gud'? Han är en Gud icke för döda, utan för levande.»
33 När folket hörde detta, häpnade de över hans undervisning.
34 Men när fariséerna fingo höra att han hade stoppat munnen till på sadducéerna, samlade de sig tillhopa;
35 och en av dem, som var lagklok, ville snärja honom och frågade:
36 »Mästare, vilket är det yppersta budet i lagen?»
37 Då svarade han honom: »'Du skall älska HERREN, din Gud, av allt ditt hjärta och av all din själ och av allt ditt förstånd.'
38 Detta är det yppersta och förnämsta budet.
39 Därnäst kommer ett som är detta likt: 'Du skall älska din nästa såsom dig själv.'
40 På dessa två bud hänger hela lagen och profeterna.»
41 Men då nu fariséerna voro församlade, frågade Jesus dem
42 och sade: »Vad synes eder om Messias, vems son är han?» De svarade honom: »Davids.»
43 Då sade han till dem: »Huru kan då David, genom andeingivelse, kalla honom 'herre'? Han säger ju:
44 'Herren sade till min herre: Sätt dig på min högra sida, till dess jag har lagt dina fiender under dina fötter.'
45 Om nu David kallar honom 'herre', huru kan han då vara hans son?»
46 Och ingen förmådde svara honom ett ord. Ej heller dristade sig någon från den dagen att vidare ställa någon fråga till honom.
Matthew 22
King James Version
22 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3 And 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 which 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, another to his merchandise:
6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated 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 saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which 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 together all 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 which had not on a wedding garment:
12 And he saith 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 went the Pharisees, 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 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith 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 marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, 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, deceased, and, having no issue, 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 as touching 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, which 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 neighbour 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 say unto him, The son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till 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 durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
Matthew 22
New King James Version
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.

22 Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying, 2 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. 4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’ 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise; 6 and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy. 9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’ 10 Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing, 12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’ 14 For many are called, but few chosen.”
15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk. 16 They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone. 17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the tax money.”
They brought to him a denarius.
20 He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
21 They said to him, “Caesar’s.”
Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring[a] for his brother.’ 25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
29 But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?(A) God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together. 35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him. 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’(B) 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’(C) 40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42 saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?”
They said to him, “Of David.”
43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord,
sit on my right hand,
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?(D)
45 “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
