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)

Parable of the Marriage Feast
22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying, 2 “(A)The kingdom of heaven [a]is like [b]a king who [c]held a (B)wedding feast for his son. 3 And he (C)sent his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come. 4 Again he (D)sent other slaves, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened cattle are all butchered and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’ 5 But they paid no attention and went their separate ways, one to his own [d]farm, another to his business, 6 and the rest seized his slaves and treated them abusively, and then killed them. 7 Now the king was angry, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire. 8 Then he *said to his slaves, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9 So go to (E)the main roads, and invite whomever you find there to the wedding feast.’ 10 Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good; and the wedding hall was filled with [e]dinner guests.
11 “But when the king came in to look over the [f]dinner guests, he saw (F)a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, 12 and he *said to him, ‘(G)Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Tie his hands and feet, and throw him into (H)the outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in that place.’ 14 For many are [g](I)called, but few are (J)chosen.”
Poll-tax to Caesar
15 (K)Then the Pharisees went and [h]plotted together how they might trap Him [i]in what He said. 16 And they *sent their disciples to Him, along with the (L)Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and [j]do not care what anyone thinks; for You [k]are not partial to anyone. 17 Tell us then, what do You think? Is it [l]permissible to pay a [m](M)poll-tax to (N)Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus perceived their [n]malice, and said, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show Me the (O)coin used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a [o]denarius. 20 And He *said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” 21 They *said to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He *said to them, “(P)Then pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.” 22 And hearing this, they were amazed; and (Q)they left Him and went away.
Jesus Answers the Sadducees
23 (R)On that day some (S)Sadducees (who say (T)there is no resurrection) came to [p]Jesus and questioned Him, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘(U)If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up [q]children for his brother.’ 25 Now there were seven brothers among us; and the first married and died, and having no [r]children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 It was the same also with the second brother, and the third, down to the seventh. 27 Last of all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her in marriage.”
29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, (V)since you do not [s]understand the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither (W)marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God: 32 ‘(X)I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 When the crowds heard this, (Y)they were astonished at His teaching.
34 (Z)But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced (AA)the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, [t](AB)a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him: 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And He said to him, “‘(AC)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 [u]foremost commandment. 39 The second is like it, ‘(AD)You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 (AE)Upon these two commandments [v]hang the whole Law and the Prophets.”
41 (AF)Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question: 42 “What do you think about the [w]Christ? Whose son is He?” They *said to Him, “(AG)The son of David.” 43 He *said to them, “Then [x]how does David [y](AH)in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying,
44 ‘(AI)The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies under Your feet”’?
45 Therefore, if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ [z]how is He his son?” 46 (AJ)No one was able to offer Him a word in answer, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him any more questions.

Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод)
Притча о свадебном пире(A)
22 Иса продолжал учить народ в притчах, говоря:
2 – Царство Всевышнего можно сравнить со свадебным пиром, который один царь приготовил для своего сына. 3 Он разослал к приглашённым своих рабов, чтобы позвать их на свадьбу, но приглашённые не хотели прийти. 4 Тогда царь послал других рабов, наказав им: «Пойдите и скажите им, что мой пир уже готов, зарезаны быки и другой откормленный скот, всё угощение готово, пусть приходят на свадебный пир». 5 Приглашённые, однако, не обратили на это никакого внимания и разошлись. Один пошёл на своё поле, другой торговать, 6 а некоторые даже схватили посланных рабов, унизили и убили их. 7 Царь был разгневан. Он послал своё войско, уничтожил тех убийц и сжёг их город.
8 Потом он сказал своим рабам: «Свадебный пир готов, но те, кого я пригласил, не заслужили чести быть на нём. 9 Пойдите теперь на перекрёстки дорог и приглашайте на пир всех, кого вы встретите». 10 Рабы пошли по улицам и стали созывать всех, кого встречали, злых и добрых, и пиршественный зал наполнился гостями, которые возлежали за столами. 11 Когда же царь пришёл посмотреть на возлежащих, он заметил человека, на котором не было свадебной одежды. 12 «Друг, – спросил царь, – как это ты вошёл сюда без свадебной одежды?» Человеку нечего было сказать. 13 Тогда царь приказал слугам: «Свяжите его по рукам и ногам и выбросьте вон, во тьму, где будет плач и скрежет зубов». 14 Ведь приглашённых много, но избранных мало.
Вопрос об уплате налогов(B)
15 После этого блюстители Закона стали советоваться, как бы им поймать Ису на слове. 16 Они подослали к Нему своих учеников вместе со сторонниками правителя Ирода.
– Учитель, – спросили они, – мы знаем, что Ты Человек честный и истинно учишь пути Всевышнего. Ты беспристрастен и не стремишься никому угодить. 17 Скажи нам, как Ты считаешь, следует ли платить налог римскому императору или нет?
18 Иса, зная их коварные намерения, сказал:
– Лицемеры, вы хотите поймать Меня на слове? 19 Покажите Мне монету, которой платится дань.
Они принесли Ему серебряную монету[a]. 20 Иса спросил их:
– Кто на ней изображён и чьё на ней имя?
21 – Императора, – ответили они.
Тогда Иса сказал им:
– Так и отдавайте императору то, что принадлежит императору, а Всевышнему – то, что принадлежит Всевышнему.
22 Такой ответ их озадачил, и, оставив Ису, они ушли.
Вопрос о воскресении мёртвых(C)
23 В тот же день саддукеи, которые утверждают, что нет воскресения мёртвых, подошли к Исе. Они спросили Его:
24 – Учитель, Муса сказал, что если кто-либо умрёт, не оставив детей, то его брат должен жениться на вдове и восстановить род своему брату.[b] 25 Так вот, у нас тут было семеро братьев. Первый женился и умер бездетным, и вдова стала женой его брата. 26 То же самое произошло и со вторым, и с третьим, и со всеми семью братьями. 27 После всех умерла и женщина. 28 Итак, после воскресения, которому из семи братьев она будет женой? Ведь все были её мужьями.
29 Иса ответил им:
– Вы заблуждаетесь, потому что не знаете ни Писания, ни силы Всевышнего. 30 Воскреснув, люди не будут ни жениться, ни выходить замуж, а будут как ангелы на небесах. 31 Что же касается воскресения мёртвых, то разве вы не читали, что сказал вам Всевышний: 32 «Я – Бог Ибрахима, Бог Исхака и Бог Якуба»[c]? Он Бог не мёртвых, а живых.
33 Люди слушали и удивлялись Его учению.
Самое важное повеление(D)
34 Блюстители же Закона, услышав, как Иса заставил замолчать саддукеев, собрались вокруг Него. 35 Один из них, учитель Таурата, чтобы поймать Ису на слове, спросил:
36 – Учитель, какое повеление в Законе самое важное?
37 Иса ответил:
– «Люби Вечного, Бога твоего, всем сердцем, всей душой и всем разумом своим»[d]. 38 Это первое и самое важное повеление. 39 Второе, не менее важное повеление: «Люби ближнего твоего, как самого себя»[e]. 40 Всё учение Таурата и Книги Пророков основано на этих двух повелениях.
Масих – Повелитель Давуда(E)
41 Когда блюстители Закона собрались вместе, Иса спросил их:
42 – Что вы думаете о Масихе? Чей Он сын?
– Сын Давуда, – ответили Ему.
43 Иса говорит им:
– Почему же тогда Давуд, под водительством Духа, называет Масиха Повелителем? Ведь он говорит:
44 «Вечный сказал моему Повелителю:
сядь по правую руку от Меня,
пока Я не повергну всех врагов Твоих
к ногам Твоим»[f].
45 Итак, если Давуд называет Масиха Повелителем, то как же в таком случае Он может быть всего лишь его сыном?
46 В ответ никто не мог сказать ни слова, и с этого дня они больше не решались задавать Ему вопросы.
