Matthew 22
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
22 1 And having responded, Jesus again spoke in parables to them, saying, 2 “The kingdom of the heavens became-like[a] a man who was a king, who made wedding-celebrations for his son. 3 And he sent out his slaves to call the ones having been invited[b] to the wedding-celebrations, and they were not willing to come. 4 Again he sent out other slaves saying, ‘Say to the ones having been invited, “Behold— I have prepared my luncheon[c], my bulls and fatted-cattle having been slaughtered, and everything is prepared. Come to the wedding-celebrations”’. 5 But the ones, having paid-no-concern[d], departed— one to his own field, and another on his business. 6 And the rest, having seized his slaves, mistreated them and killed them. 7 And the king became angry[e]. And having sent his troops, he destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire. 8 Then he says to his slaves, ‘The wedding-celebration is prepared— but the ones having been invited were not worthy! 9 Therefore go to the outlets[f] of the roads, and invite all-that you find to the wedding-celebrations’. 10 And having gone out into the roads, those slaves gathered-together all whom they found, both evil[g] and good. And the wedding-hall was filled with ones reclining-back [to eat]. 11 And the king, having come in to see[h] the ones reclining-back [to eat], saw there a person not having dressed-in[i] the clothing of [j] a wedding. 12 And he says to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here, not having the clothing of a wedding?’ But the one was silenced. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Having bound his feet and hands, throw him out, into the outer darkness’. In that place, there will be the weeping and the grinding of teeth. 14 For many are called ones, but few are chosen ones”.
The Pharisees Try To Snare Jesus: Shall We Pay Taxes To Caesar?
15 Then the Pharisees, having gone, took counsel so that they might snare Him in a statement. 16 And they send-forth their disciples to Him, with the Herodians[k], saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful, and You teach the way of God in truth. And You are not concerned about [pleasing] anyone, for You do not look at the face[l] of people. 17 Tell us then, what seems right to You? Is it lawful to give a poll-tax[m] to Caesar, or not?” 18 But having known their evilness[n], Jesus said, “Why are you testing Me, hypocrites? 19 Show Me the coin for the poll-tax”. And the ones brought to Him a denarius[o]. 20 And He says to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” 21 They say to Him, “Caesar’s”. Then He says to them, “Then give-back[p] the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God”. 22 And having heard it, they marveled. And having left Him, they went away.
The Sadducees Try To Snare Jesus On The Resurrection of a Wife With Seven Husbands
23 On that day Sadducees came to Him— ones saying that there is not a resurrection. And they questioned Him, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said [in Deut 25:5] ‘If someone dies not having children, his brother shall as-next-of-kin-marry[q] his wife and raise-up a seed[r] for his brother’. 25 Now there were seven brothers with us. And the first, having married, came-to-an-end[s]. And not having a seed, he left his wife to his brother. 26 Likewise also the second, and the third, up to the seventh. 27 And last of all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of which of the seven will she be the wife? For they all had her!” 29 But having responded, Jesus said to them, “You are mistaken[t], 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 angels[u] in heaven. 31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, did you not read the thing having been spoken to you by God[v], saying [in Ex 3:15] 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of dead ones, but of living ones”. 33 And having heard it, the crowds were astounded at His teaching.
A Scribe Tests Jesus: Which Is The Great Commandment?
34 And the Pharisees, having heard that He silenced the Sadducees, were gathered-together at the same place. 35 And one of them, a Law-expert, asked Him— testing Him— 36 “Teacher, which is the great[w] commandment in the Law?” 37 And the One said to him: “‘You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole mind’ [Deut 6:5]— 38 this is the great and foremost[x] commandment. 39 And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’ [Lev 19:18]. 40 The whole Law and the Prophets hang[y] on these two commandments”.
Jesus Asks The Pharisees, If David Calls The Messiah His Lord, How Can He Be His Son?
41 Now the Pharisees having[z] been gathered-together, Jesus questioned them, 42 saying, “What seems right to you concerning the Christ— Whose son is He?” They say to Him, “David’s”. 43 He says to them, “How then does David by[aa] the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’, saying [in Ps 110:1], 44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Be sitting on My right side, until I put Your enemies under Your feet”’? 45 Therefore if David calls Him ‘Lord’, how[ab] is He his son?” 46 And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day to question Him any more.

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.

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)

Pilda nunţii fiului de împărat
22 Isus a(A) luat cuvântul şi le-a vorbit iarăşi în pilde. Şi a zis: 2 „Împărăţia cerurilor se aseamănă cu un împărat care a făcut nuntă fiului său. 3 A trimis pe robii săi să cheme pe cei poftiţi la nuntă, dar ei n-au vrut să vină. 4 A trimis iarăşi alţi robi şi le-a zis: ‘Spuneţi celor poftiţi: «Iată că am gătit ospăţul meu; juncii(B) şi vitele mele cele îngrăşate au fost tăiate; toate sunt gata, veniţi la nuntă».’ 5 Dar ei, fără să le pese de poftirea lui, au plecat: unul la holda lui şi altul la negustoria lui. 6 Ceilalţi au pus mâna pe robi, şi-au bătut joc de ei şi i-au omorât. 7 Când a auzit, împăratul s-a mâniat, a trimis oştile(C) sale, a nimicit pe ucigaşii aceia şi le-a ars cetatea. 8 Atunci a zis robilor săi: ‘Nunta este gata, dar cei poftiţi n-au fost vrednici(D) de ea. 9 Duceţi-vă dar la răspântiile drumurilor şi chemaţi la nuntă pe toţi aceia pe care-i veţi găsi.’ 10 Robii au ieşit la răspântii, au(E) strâns pe toţi pe care i-au găsit, şi buni, şi răi, şi odaia ospăţului de nuntă s-a umplut de oaspeţi. 11 Împăratul a intrat să-şi vadă oaspeţii şi a zărit acolo pe un om care(F) nu era îmbrăcat în haina de nuntă. 12 ‘Prietene’, i-a zis el, ‘cum ai intrat aici fără să ai haină de nuntă?’ Omul acela a amuţit. 13 Atunci, împăratul a zis slujitorilor săi: ‘Legaţi-i mâinile şi picioarele şi luaţi-l şi aruncaţi-l în(G) întunericul de afară; acolo vor fi plânsul şi scrâşnirea dinţilor. 14 Căci(H) mulţi sunt chemaţi, dar puţini sunt aleşi’.”
Birul
15 Atunci(I), fariseii s-au dus şi s-au sfătuit cum să prindă pe Isus cu vorba. 16 Au trimis la El pe ucenicii lor împreună cu irodianii, care I-au zis: „Învăţătorule, ştim că eşti adevărat şi că înveţi pe oameni calea lui Dumnezeu în adevăr, fără să-Ţi pese de nimeni, pentru că nu cauţi la faţa oamenilor. 17 Spune-ne dar, ce crezi? Se cade să plătim bir cezarului sau nu?” 18 Isus, care le cunoştea vicleşugul, a răspuns: „Pentru ce Mă ispitiţi, făţarnicilor? 19 Arătaţi-Mi banul birului.”Şi ei I-au adus un ban[a]. 20 El i-a întrebat: „Chipul acesta şi slovele scrise pe el ale cui sunt?” 21 „Ale cezarului”, I-au răspuns ei. Atunci, El le-a zis: „Daţi(J) dar cezarului ce este al cezarului, şi lui Dumnezeu ce este al lui Dumnezeu!” 22 Miraţi de cuvintele acestea, ei L-au lăsat şi au plecat.
Despre înviere
23 În aceeaşi(K) zi, au venit la Isus saducheii, care(L) zic că nu este înviere. Ei I-au pus următoarea întrebare: 24 „Învăţătorule, Moise(M) a zis: ‘Dacă moare cineva fără să aibă copii, fratele lui să ia pe nevasta fratelui său şi să-i ridice urmaş’. 25 Erau dar la noi şapte fraţi. Cel dintâi s-a însurat şi a murit şi, fiindcă n-avea copii, a lăsat fratelui său pe nevasta lui. 26 Tot aşa şi al doilea, şi al treilea, până la al şaptelea. 27 La urmă, după ei toţi, a murit şi femeia. 28 La înviere, nevasta căruia din cei şapte va fi ea? Fiindcă toţi au avut-o de nevastă.” 29 Drept răspuns, Isus le-a zis: „Vă rătăciţi! Pentru că nu cunoaşteţi(N) nici Scripturile, nici puterea lui Dumnezeu. 30 Căci, la înviere, nici nu se vor însura, nici nu se vor mărita, ci vor fi(O) ca îngerii lui Dumnezeu în cer. 31 Cât priveşte învierea morţilor, oare n-aţi citit ce vi s-a spus de Dumnezeu, când zice: 32 ‘Eu(P) sunt Dumnezeul lui Avraam, Dumnezeul lui Isaac şi Dumnezeul lui Iacov? Dumnezeu nu este un Dumnezeu al celor morţi, ci al celor vii’.” 33 Noroadele care ascultau au(Q) rămas uimite de învăţătura lui Isus.
Porunca cea mai mare
34 Când(R) au auzit fariseii că Isus a astupat gura saducheilor, s-au strâns la un loc. 35 Şi unul din ei, un învăţător al Legii(S), ca să-L ispitească, I-a pus întrebarea următoare: 36 „Învăţătorule, care este cea mai mare poruncă din Lege?” 37 Isus i-a răspuns: „Să(T) iubeşti pe Domnul, Dumnezeul tău, cu toată inima ta, cu tot sufletul tău şi cu tot cugetul tău. 38 Aceasta este cea dintâi şi cea mai mare poruncă. 39 Iar a doua, asemenea ei, este: ‘Să(U) iubeşti pe aproapele tău ca pe tine însuţi’. 40 În aceste(V) două porunci se cuprinde toată Legea şi Prorocii.”
Al cui fiu este Hristosul?
41 Pe(W) când erau strânşi la un loc fariseii, Isus i-a întrebat: 42 „Ce credeţi voi despre Hristos? Al cui fiu este?” „Al lui David”, I-au răspuns ei. 43 Şi Isus le-a zis: „Cum atunci, David, fiind insuflat de Duhul, Îl numeşte Domn, când zice: 44 ‘Domnul(X) a zis Domnului Meu: «Şezi la dreapta Mea până voi pune pe vrăjmaşii Tăi sub picioarele Tale.»?’ 45 Deci, dacă David Îl numeşte Domn, cum este El fiul lui?” 46 Nimeni(Y) nu I-a putut răspunde un cuvânt. Şi, din ziua aceea, n-a(Z) îndrăznit nimeni să-I mai pună întrebări.

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.
