Matthew 22
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
22 And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:
2 The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son.
3 And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage; and they would not come.
4 Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my calves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come ye to the marriage.
5 But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise.
6 And the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.
7 But when the king had heard of it, he was angry, and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.
8 Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.
10 And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests.
11 And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.
12 And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent.
13 Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
15 Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech.
16 And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men.
17 Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites?
19 Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny.
20 And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?
21 They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's.
22 And hearing this they wondered, and leaving him, went their ways.
23 That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him,
24 Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up issue to his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his brother.
26 In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
28 At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her.
29 And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.
31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying 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.
33 And the multitudes hearing it, were in admiration at his doctrine.
34 But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together:
35 And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him:
36 Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.
38 This is the greatest and the first commandment.
39 And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.
41 And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying: What think you of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him: David's.
43 He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying:
44 The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy 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.

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)

Ang Talinghaga tungkol sa Kasalan(A)
22 Si Jesus ay muling nagsalita sa kanila sa mga talinghaga, na sinasabi,
2 “Ang kaharian ng langit ay tulad sa isang hari na nagdaos ng isang handaan para sa kasal ng kanyang anak na lalaki.
3 Sinugo niya ang kanyang mga alipin upang tawagin ang mga inanyayahan sa handaan ng kasalan; ngunit ayaw nilang dumalo.
4 Muli siyang nagsugo ng ibang mga alipin, na sinasabi, ‘Sabihin ninyo sa mga inanyayahan: Narito, naihanda ko na ang aking handaan; pinatay na ang aking mga baka at matatabang hayop at handa na ang lahat. Halina kayo sa handaan ng kasalan.’
5 Ngunit hindi nila ito pinansin, at sila'y humayo, ang isa'y sa kanyang sariling bukid, ang isa'y sa kanyang pangangalakal.
6 Hinuli naman ng iba ang kanyang mga alipin at ginawan ng masama at pinagpapatay.
7 Kaya't nagalit ang hari. Sinugo niya ang kanyang mga hukbo, pinuksa ang mga mamamatay-taong iyon, at sinunog ang kanilang lunsod.
8 Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa kanyang mga alipin, ‘Handa na ang kasalan, ngunit hindi karapat-dapat ang mga inanyayahan.
9 Kaya pumunta kayo sa mga pangunahing lansangan at anyayahan ninyo sa handaan ng kasalan ang sinumang makita ninyo.’
10 Lumabas ang mga aliping iyon sa mga lansangan, at tinipon nila ang bawat matagpuan nila, masama man o mabuti; kaya't napuno ng mga panauhin ang kasalan.
11 “Ngunit nang pumasok ang hari upang tingnan ang mga panauhin, may nakita siya roong isang tao na hindi nakadamit pangkasal.
12 Sinabi niya sa kanya, ‘Kaibigan, paano ka nakapasok dito na hindi nakadamit pangkasal?’ Ngunit hindi siya nakapagsalita.
13 Kaya't(B) sinabi ng hari sa mga lingkod, ‘Gapusin ninyo ang mga paa at mga kamay niya, at itapon ninyo siya sa kadiliman sa labas. Doon ay ang pagtangis at ang pagngangalit ng mga ngipin.’
14 Sapagkat marami ang tinawag, ngunit kakaunti ang pinili.”
Ang Pagbabayad ng Buwis(C)
15 Pagkatapos ay umalis ang mga Fariseo at pinag-uusapan nila kung paano siyang mabibitag sa kanyang pananalita.
16 Kaya't sinugo nila ang kanilang mga alagad sa kanya, kasama ng mga Herodiano,[a] na nagsasabi, “Guro, alam naming ikaw ay tapat, at itinuturo mo ang daan ng Diyos ayon sa katotohanan at wala kang pinapanigang sinuman, sapagkat hindi ka nagtatangi ng tao.[b]
17 Sabihin mo nga sa amin, ano sa palagay mo? Matuwid bang magbuwis kay Cesar,[c] o hindi?”
18 Ngunit batid ni Jesus ang kanilang kasamaan, sinabi niya, “Bakit ninyo ako sinusubok, mga mapagkunwari?
19 Ipakita ninyo sa akin ang salaping pambuwis.” At dinala sa kanya ang isang denario.
20 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kaninong larawan ito at ang nakasulat?”
21 Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Kay Cesar.” Pagkatapos ay sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kaya't ibigay ninyo kay Cesar ang kay Cesar at sa Diyos ang sa Diyos.”
22 Nang marinig nila ito ay namangha sila. Kanilang iniwan siya at sila'y umalis.
Tungkol sa Muling Pagkabuhay(D)
23 Nang(E) araw ding iyon ay lumapit kay Jesus[d] ang mga Saduceo, na nagsasabing walang pagkabuhay na muli; at kanilang tinanong siya,
24 na(F) sinasabi, “Guro, sinabi ni Moises, ‘Kung mamatay ang isang tao na walang anak, pakakasalan ng kanyang kapatid na lalaki ang asawa niya, at magkakaroon ng mga anak para sa kanyang kapatid na lalaki.’
25 Ngayon, mayroon sa aming pitong magkakapatid na lalaki. Nag-asawa ang panganay at siya'y namatay. Sapagkat hindi siya nagkaroon ng anak ay iniwan niya ang kanyang asawa sa kanyang kapatid na lalaki.
26 Gayundin naman ang nangyari sa ikalawa at sa ikatlo, hanggang sa ikapito.
27 At kahuli-hulihan sa lahat ay namatay ang babae.
28 Kaya sa muling pagkabuhay, alin sa pito ang magiging asawa ng babae? Yamang siya'y napangasawa nilang lahat.”
29 Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi sa kanila, “Nagkakamali kayo, sapagkat hindi ninyo nalalaman ang mga kasulatan, o ang kapangyarihan ng Diyos.
30 Sapagkat sa muling pagkabuhay ay hindi sila nag-aasawa o pinag-aasawa pa kundi sila'y tulad sa mga anghel sa langit.
31 At tungkol sa muling pagkabuhay ng mga patay, hindi ba ninyo nabasa ang sinabi sa inyo ng Diyos,
32 ‘Ako(G) ang Diyos ni Abraham, ang Diyos ni Isaac, at ang Diyos ni Jacob’? Siya ay hindi Diyos ng mga patay, kundi ng mga buháy.”
33 Nang marinig ito ng napakaraming tao, namangha sila sa kanyang aral.
Ang Dakilang Utos(H)
34 Ngunit nang marinig ng mga Fariseo na napatahimik ni Jesus[e] ang mga Saduceo, ay nagtipon sila.
35 At isa sa kanila, na tagapagtanggol ng kautusan, ay nagtanong sa kanya upang siya'y subukin.
36 “Guro, alin ba ang dakilang utos sa kautusan?”
37 At(I) sinabi sa kanya, “Ibigin mo ang Panginoon mong Diyos nang buong puso mo, at nang buong kaluluwa mo, at nang buong pag-iisip mo.’
38 Ito ang dakila at unang utos.’
39 At(J) ang pangalawa ay katulad nito, ‘Ibigin mo ang iyong kapwa na gaya ng iyong sarili.’
40 Sa(K) dalawang utos na ito nakasalig ang buong kautusan at ang mga propeta.”
Ang Tanong ni Jesus tungkol sa Anak ni David(L)
41 Habang nagkakatipon ang mga Fariseo ay tinanong sila ni Jesus,
42 na sinasabi, “Ano ang palagay ninyo tungkol sa Cristo? Kaninong anak siya?” Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Kay David.”
43 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kung gayo'y bakit si David nang nasa Espiritu ay tumatawag sa kanya ng Panginoon, na nagsasabi,
44 ‘Sinabi(M) ng Panginoon sa aking Panginoon,
“Maupo ka sa aking kanan,
hanggang sa mailagay ko ang iyong mga kaaway sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa”’?
45 Kung tinatawag nga siya ni David na Panginoon, paanong siya'y naging kanyang anak?”
46 Walang nakasagot sa kanya kahit isang salita, at wala na ring sinumang nangahas pang magtanong sa kanya ng anuman buhat sa araw na iyon.
