22:1  And Jesus answered and spoke unto them again by parables and said,
22:2  The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a certain man, a king, who made a marriage feast for his son
22:3  and sent forth his slaves to call those that were invited to the wedding, and they would not come.
22:4  Again, he sent forth other slaves, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my bulls and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come unto the marriage.
22:5  But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise,
22:6  and the others took his slaves and entreated them spitefully and slew them.
22:7  But when the king heard of this, he became angry and sent forth his armies and destroyed those murderers and burned up their city.
22:8  Then he said to his slaves, The wedding is ready, but those who were called were not worthy.
22:9  Go ye therefore into the entrances of the highways and call as many as ye shall find to the marriage.
22:10  So those slaves went out into the highways and gathered together everyone that they found, both bad and good; and the wedding was filled with guests.
22:11  And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on a wedding garment,
22:12  and he said unto him, Friend, how didst thou come in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
22:13  Then the king said to the slaves, Bind him hand and foot and take him away and cast him into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
22:14  For many are called, but few are chosen.
22:15  Then the Pharisees left and took counsel how they might entangle him in his word.
22:16  And they sent out unto him their disciples with those of Herod, saying, Master, we know that thou art a lover of truth and teachest the way of God with truth and that thou takest care for no man, for thou art no respecter of persons of men.
22:17  Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar or not?
22:18  But Jesus perceived their wickedness and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
22:19  Show me the coin of the tribute. And they presented unto him a denarius.
22:20  And he said unto them, Whose is this image and supion?
22:21  They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then said he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s.
22:22  When they had heard these words, they marvelled and left him and went away.
22:23  The same day the Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
22:24  saying, Master, Moses said, If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
22:25  Now there were with us seven brothers, and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no seed, left his wife unto his brother;
22:26  likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
22:27  And last of all the woman died also.
22:28  Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
22:29  Then Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.
22:30  For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
22:31  But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which is spoken unto you by God, who saith,
22:32  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.
22:33  And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
22:34  Then the Pharisees, hearing that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered together.
22:35  And one of them, who was an interpreter of the law, asked him a question, tempting him and saying,
22:36  Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
22:37  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.
22:38  This is the first and great commandment.
22:39  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
22:40  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
22:41  While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
22:42  saying, What think ye of the Christ? Whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
22:43  He said unto them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,
22:44  The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
22:45  If David then calls him Lord, how is he his son?
22:46  And no one was able to answer him a word, neither dared anyone from that day forth ask him any more questions.
