The New Testament of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.: The common English version, corrected by the final committee of the American Bible Union.
Bible. New Testament
(2)The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a
marriage for his son. (3)And he sent forth his servants to call those
who were bidden to the wedding; and they would not come. (4)Again he
sent forth other servants, saying: Tell those who are bidden, Behold,
I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all
things are ready; come to the marriage. (5)But they made light of it,
and went away, one to his farm, another to his merchandise. (6)And the
rest laid hold of his servants, and ill-treated and slew them. (7)And
the king, hearing it, was angry; and sending forth his armies, he
destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. (8)Then he says
to his servants: The wedding is ready, but they who were bidden were
not worthy. (9)Go therefore into the thoroughfares, and as many as ye
find, bid to the marriage. (10)And 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 the king, coming in to view the guests, saw there a man not
clothed with a wedding garment; (12)and he says to him: Friend, how
camest thou in hither, not having a wedding garment? And he was
speechless. (13)Then the king said to the attendants: Bind him hand
and foot, and cast him forth into the outer darkness. There will be
the weeping, and the gnashing of teeth! (14)For many are called, but
few are chosen.
(15)Then the Pharisees went and took counsel, how they might ensnare
him with a word[22:15]. (16)And they send out to him their disciples,
with the Herodians, saying: Teacher, we know that thou art true, and
teachest the way of God in truth; neither carest thou for any one, for
thou regardest not the person of men. (17)Tell us, therefore, what
thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? (18)But
Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said: Why tempt ye me, hypocrites!
(19)Show me the tribute money. And they brought to him a
denary[22:19]. (20)And he says to them: Whose is this image, and the
inscription? (21)They say to him: Caesar's. Then says he to them;
Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God
the things that are God's. (22)And hearing it they wondered, and left
him and went away.
(23)On that day came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no
resurrection, and asked him, (24)saying: Teacher, Moses said, If any
one die having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and
raise up seed to his brother. (25)Now there were with us seven
brothers; and the first married and died, and having no seed left his
wife to his brother. (26)Likewise the second also, and the third, unto
the seventh. (27)And last of all the woman died also. (28)In the
resurrection therefore, of which of the seven shall she be wife? For
they all had her.
