22:1
MSB
Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:
22:2
MSB
“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
22:3
MSB
He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
22:4
MSB
Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
22:5
MSB
But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.
22:6
MSB
The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
22:7
MSB
When he heard this, the king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.
22:8
MSB
Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.
22:9
MSB
Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
22:10
MSB
So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
22:11
MSB
But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
22:12
MSB
‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
22:13
MSB
Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
22:14
MSB
For many are called, but few are chosen.”
22:15
MSB
Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
22:16
MSB
They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.
22:17
MSB
So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
22:18
MSB
But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?
22:19
MSB
Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
22:20
MSB
“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”
22:21
MSB
“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
22:22
MSB
And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
22:23
MSB
That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.
22:24
MSB
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
22:25
MSB
Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.
22:26
MSB
The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.
22:27
MSB
And last of all, the woman also died.
22:28
MSB
In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”
22:29
MSB
Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
22:30
MSB
In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels of God in heaven.
22:31
MSB
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:
22:32
MSB
‘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.”
22:33
MSB
When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
22:34
MSB
And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.
22:35
MSB
One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:
22:36
MSB
“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”
22:37
MSB
Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
22:38
MSB
This is the first and greatest commandment.
22:39
MSB
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
22:40
MSB
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
22:41
MSB
While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:
22:42
MSB
“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
22:43
MSB
Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:
22:44
MSB
‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
22:45
MSB
So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”
22:46
MSB
No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
