25 The people laughed and treated with disdain his call, and went their way, one to his farm, another to his merchandise; 26 And others seized the servants of the king; abused them shamefully; and some of them they killed. 27 And then the king sent forth his soldiery who slew the murderers and burned their towns. 28 And then the king sent other servants forth; to them he said, Go to the corners of the streets, the partings of the ways, and to the marts of trade and say, 29 Whoever will may come up to the marriage feast. 30 The servants went their way and called; and lo, the banquet hall was filled with guests. 31 But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man who had not on a wedding robe; he called to him and said, 32 Friend, why are you here without a wedding robe? Would you dishonor thus my son? 33 The man was dumb; he answered not. 34 And then the king said to his guards, Take you this man and bind him hand and foot and cast him out into the darkness of the night. 35 The many have been called, but none are chosen to be guests who have not clad themselves in wedding robes. CHAPTER 155. _Jesus recognizes the justice of paying secular taxes. He teaches a lesson on family relationships in the life beyond. The greatest of the commandments is comprised in love. He warns his disciples against the hypocrisy of scribes and Pharisees._ As Jesus spoke, the Pharisees came up to question him; they thought to criminate him by what he said. 2 A strict Herodian spoke and said, My Lord, you are a man of truth; you show the way to God, and you do not regard the personality of men; 3 Tell us, what do you think; should we, who are the seed of Abraham, pay tribute unto Cæsar? or should we not? 4 And Jesus knew his wickedness of heart and said, Why do you come to tempt me thus? Show me the tribute money that you speak about. 5 The man brought forth a piece of coin on which an image was engraved. 6 And Jesus said, Whose image and whose name is on this coin? 7 The man replied, ’Tis Cæsar’s image and his name. 8 And Jesus said, Give unto Cæsar that which is Cæsar’s own; but give to God the things of God. 9 And they who heard him said, He answers well. 10 And then a Sadducee, who thinks there is no resurrection of the dead, came up and said, Rabboni, Moses wrote that if a married man shall die, and have no child, his widow shall become his brother’s wife. 11 Now, there were seven brothers and the eldest had a wife; he died and had no child; a brother took his widow for his wife, and then he died; 12 And every brother had this woman for his wife; in course of time the woman died; 13 Now which will have this woman for a wife in the resurrection day? 14 And Jesus said, Here in this plane of life men marry just to gratify their selfish selfs, or to perpetuate the race; but in the world to come, and in the resurrection day, men do not take upon themselves the marriage vows,
