Matteusevangeliet 22
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015

Liknelsen om kungasonens bröllop

22 Jesus talade än en gång till dem i liknelser: 2 (A) "Himmelriket är som en kung som höll bröllop för sin son. 3 Han sände ut sina tjänare för att kalla de inbjudna till bröllopet, men de ville inte komma.

4 (B) Då sände han ut andra tjänare och befallde dem att säga till de inbjudna: Min måltid är redo, mina oxar och gödkalvar är slaktade och allt är färdigt. Kom till bröllopet! 5 Men de brydde sig inte om det utan gick sin väg, en till sin åker, en annan till sina affärer. 6 De andra grep hans tjänare och misshandlade[a] och dödade dem.

7 (C) Då blev kungen vred och sände ut sina soldater och lät döda dessa mördare och brände ner deras stad. 8 Sedan sade han till sina tjänare: Allt är färdigt för bröllopet, men de inbjudna var inte värdiga. 9 (D) Gå därför ut till vägskälen och bjud alla ni ser till bröllopet. 10 Tjänarna gick då ut på vägarna och samlade alla de mötte, både onda och goda, och bröllopssalen fylldes med bordsgäster.

11 (E) När kungen kom in för att se sina gäster, fick han där syn på en man som inte var klädd i bröllopskläder. 12 Han sade till honom: Min vän, hur kom du in hit utan bröllopskläder? Mannen teg. 13 (F) Då sade kungen till tjänarna: Bind honom till händer och fötter och kasta ut honom i mörkret här utanför! Där ska man gråta och gnissla tänder. 14 Många är kallade, men få är utvalda."

Skatt till kejsaren

15 (G) Då gick fariseerna och gjorde upp planer för att snärja honom genom något som han sade. 16 De sände sina lärjungar till honom tillsammans med herodianerna[b] för att säga: "Mästare, vi vet att du är ärlig och lär ut sanningen om Guds väg och inte tar parti för någon utan behandlar alla lika. 17 Så säg oss nu: Vad anser du? Är det tillåtet att betala skatt till kejsaren[c] eller inte?"

18 Jesus märkte deras ondska och sade: "Varför prövar ni mig, era hycklare? 19 Visa mig myntet som skatten betalas med." De räckte honom en denar[d], 20 och han frågade dem: "Vems bild och inskrift är detta?" 21 (H) De svarade: "Kejsarens." Då sade han till dem: "Ge då kejsaren det som tillhör kejsaren, och Gud det som tillhör Gud." 22 När de hörde detta blev de förundrade, och de lämnade honom och gick sin väg.

De dödas uppståndelse

23 (I) Samma dag kom det fram några saddukeer till Jesus, de som påstår att det inte finns någon uppståndelse. De frågade honom: 24 (J) "Mästare, Mose har sagt: Om någon dör barnlös, ska hans bror gifta sig med änkan och skaffa barn åt sin bror.[e] 25 Nu fanns det hos oss sju bröder. Den förste gifte sig och dog, och han hade inga barn, så han efterlämnade sin hustru åt sin bror. 26 På samma sätt gick det med den andre och den tredje och med alla sju. 27 Sist av alla dog kvinnan. 28 Så vem av de sju blir hon hustru till vid uppståndelsen? Alla var ju gifta med henne."

29 Jesus svarade dem: "Ni tar fel, för ni förstår varken Skriften eller Guds makt. 30 Vid uppståndelsen gifter man sig inte och blir inte bortgift, utan man är som änglarna i himlen.

31 Men när det gäller de dödas uppståndelse, har ni inte läst vad Gud har sagt er: 32 Jag är Abrahams Gud och Isaks Gud och Jakobs Gud? Han är inte de dödas Gud, utan de levandes."[f] 33 När folket hörde detta var de överväldigade av hans undervisning.

Det viktigaste budet

34 Fariseerna hörde att Jesus hade gjort saddukeerna[g] svarslösa och samlades runt honom. 35 (K) En av dem, en laglärd, ville pröva honom och frågade: 36 "Mästare, vilket är det stör-sta budet i lagen?" 37 Han svarade: "Du ska älska Herren din Gud av hela ditt hjärta och av hela din själ och av hela ditt förstånd.[h] 38 Det är det största och första budet. 39 (L) Sedan kommer ett som liknar det: Du ska älska din nästa som dig själv.[i] 40 (M) På dessa två bud hänger hela lagen och profeterna."

Vad tänker ni om Messias?

41 (N) Medan fariseerna var samlade frågade Jesus dem: 42 "Vad tänker ni om Messias? Vems son är han?" De svarade honom: "Davids." 43 (O) Då sade han till dem: "Hur kan då David genom Anden kalla honom Herre och säga: 44 Herren sade till min Herre: Sätt dig på min högra sida tills jag lagt dina fiender under dina fötter[j].[k] 45 (P) Om nu David kallar honom Herre[l], hur kan han då vara Davids son?" 46 Ingen kunde svara honom ett ord, och från den dagen vågade ingen fråga honom något mer.

English Standard Version

The Parable of the Wedding Feast

22 And again Jesus (A)spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 (B)“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave (C)a wedding feast for his son, 3 and (D)sent his servants[a] to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. 4 (E)Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my (F)dinner, (G)my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ 5 But (H)they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, (I)treated them shamefully, and (J)killed them. 7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and (K)destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not (L)worthy. 9 Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ 10 And those servants went out into the roads and (M)gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11 “But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there (N)a man who had no wedding garment. 12 And he said to him, (O)‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and (P)cast him into the outer darkness. In that place (Q)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are (R)called, but few are (S)chosen.”

Paying Taxes to Caesar

15 (T)Then the Pharisees went and plotted how (U)to entangle him in his words. 16 And they sent (V)their disciples to him, along with (W)the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, (X)we know that you are true and teach (Y)the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone's opinion, for (Z)you are not swayed by appearances.[b] 17 Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay (AA)taxes to (AB)Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why (AC)put me to the test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius.[c] 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, (AD)“Therefore render 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 they (AE)left him and went away.

Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection

23 The same day (AF)Sadducees came to him, (AG)who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, (AH)‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’ 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.”

29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, (AI)because you know neither the Scriptures nor (AJ)the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither (AK)marry nor (AL)are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, (AM)have you not read what was said to you by God: 32 (AN)‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 And when the crowd heard it, (AO)they were astonished at his teaching.

The Great Commandment

34 (AP)But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced (AQ)the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 (AR)And one of them, (AS)a lawyer, asked him a question (AT)to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, (AU)“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And (AV)a second is like it: (AW)You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 (AX)On these two commandments depend (AY)all the Law and the Prophets.”

Whose Son Is the Christ?

41 (AZ)Now while the Pharisees (BA)were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42 saying, “What do you think about (BB)the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, (BC)“The son of David.” 43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, (BD)in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying,

44 (BE)“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
    until I put your enemies under your feet”’?

45 If then David calls him Lord, (BF)how is he his son?” 46 (BG)And no one was able to answer him a word, (BH)nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.

Matthew 22
Complete Jewish Bible

22 Yeshua again used parables in speaking to them: 2 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding feast for his son, 3 but when he sent his slaves to summon the invited guests to the wedding, they refused to come. 4 So he sent some more slaves, instructing them to tell the guests, ‘Look, I’ve prepared my banquet, I’ve slaughtered my bulls and my fattened cattle, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding!’ 5 But they weren’t interested and went off, one to his farm, another to his business; 6 and the rest grabbed his slaves, mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was furious and sent his soldiers, who killed those murderers and burned down their city.

8 “Then he said to his slaves, ‘Well, the wedding feast is ready; but the ones who were invited didn’t deserve it. 9 So go out to the street-corners and invite to the banquet as many as you find.’ 10 The slaves went out into the streets, gathered all the people they could find, the bad along with the good; and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11 “Now when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who wasn’t dressed for a wedding; so he asked him, 12 ‘Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him outside in the dark!’ In that place people will wail and grind their teeth, 14 for many are invited, but few are chosen.”

15 Then the P’rushim went away and put together a plan to trap Yeshua with his own words. 16 They sent him some of their talmidim and some members of Herod’s party. They said, “Rabbi, we know that you tell the truth and really teach what God’s way is. You aren’t concerned with what other people think about you, since you pay no attention to a person’s status. 17 So tell us your opinion: does Torah permit paying taxes to the Roman Emperor or not?” 18 Yeshua, however, knowing their malicious intent, said, “You hypocrites! Why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used to pay the tax!” They brought him a denarius; 20 and he asked them, “Whose name and picture are these?” 21 “The Emperor’s,” they replied. Yeshua said to them, “Nu, give the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor. And give to God what belongs to God!” 22 On hearing this, they were amazed; and they left him and went away.

23 That same day, some Tz’dukim came to him. They are the ones who say there is no such thing as resurrection, so they put to him a sh’eilah: 24 “Rabbi, Moshe said, ‘If a man dies childless, his brother must marry his widow and have children to preserve the man’s family line.’[a] 25 There were seven brothers. The first one married and then died; and since he had no children, he left his widow to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second brother, and the third, and finally to all seven. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28 Now in the Resurrection — of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all married her.”

29 Yeshua answered them, “The reason you go astray is that you are ignorant both of the Tanakh and of the power of God. 30 For in the Resurrection, neither men nor women will marry; rather, they will be like angels in heaven. 31 And as for whether the dead are resurrected, haven’t you read what God said to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Avraham, the God of Yitz’chak and the God of Ya‘akov’?[b] He is God not of the dead but of the living!”

33 When the crowds heard how he taught, they were astounded; 34 but when the P’rushim learned that he had silenced the Tz’dukim, they got together, 35 and one of them who was a Torah expert asked a sh’eilah to trap him: 36 “Rabbi, which of the mitzvot in the Torah is the most important?” 37 He told him, “‘You are to love Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.’[c] 38 This is the greatest and most important mitzvah. 39 And a second is similar to it, ‘You are to love your neighbor as yourself.’[d] 40 All of the Torah and the Prophets are dependent on these two mitzvot.”

41 Then, turning to the assembled P’rushim, Yeshua put a sh’eilah to them: 42 “Tell me your view concerning the Messiah: whose son is he?” They said to him, “David’s.” 43 “Then how is it,” he asked them, “that David, inspired by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord,’ when he says,

44 ‘Adonai said to my Lord,
“Sit here at my right hand
until I put your enemies under your feet”’?[e]

45 If David thus calls him ‘Lord,’ how is he his son?” 46 No one could think of anything to say in reply; and from that day on, no one dared put to him another sh’eilah.
