7 The king was enraged. He sent his army
and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his
servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not
worthy. 9 Go therefore to the highways, and invite to the marriage feast as
many as you find.' 10 And those servants went out into the streets and
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 see the guests, he
saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12 And he said
to him, '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, take him away, and cast him into the outer darkness;
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' 14 For many are called, but
few are chosen."
15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how to entangle
him in his talk. 16 And they sent their disciples to him, along with the
Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the
way of God in truth, and you care for no man; for you do not regard the
position of men. 17 Tell us, then, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay
taxes to Caesar, or not?" 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, "Why
are you testing me, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the money for the tax."
And they brought him a denarius. 20 And he said to them, "Whose image
and inscription is this?" 21 They said, "Caesar's." Then he said to them,
"Render therefore 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
left him and went away.
23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no
resurrection, came to him and asked him a question, 24 saying, "Teacher,
Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother must marry
the widow, and raise up children for his brother. 25 Now there were seven
brothers among us. The first one married and died, and having no
children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 So the second also, and the
third, down to the seventh. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28
Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For
they all had her." 29 But Jesus answered them, "You are wrong, because
you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 For in the
resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like
angels in heaven. 31 But as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not
read what was said to you by God, 32 'I am the God of Abraham, and the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead, but
of the living." 33 And when the multitudes heard this, they were
astonished at his teaching.
34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the
Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked
him a question, to test him. 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment
