Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Matthew
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Matthew
022:020 "Whose likeness and inscription," He asked, "is this?"
022:021 "Caesar's," they replied. "Pay therefore," He rejoined,
"what is Caesar's to Caesar; and what is God's to God."
022:022 They heard this, and were astonished; then left Him,
and went their way.
022:023 On the same day a party of Sadducees came to Him, contending that
there is no resurrection. And they put this case to Him.
022:024 "Teacher," they said, "Moses enjoined, `If a man die childless,
his brother shall marry his widow, and raise up a family for him.'
022:025 Now we had among us seven brothers. The eldest of them married,
but died childless, leaving his wife to his brother.
022:026 So also did the second and the third, down to the seventh,
022:027 till the woman also died, after surviving them all.
022:028 At the Resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will
she be? for they all married her."
022:029 The reply of Jesus was, "You are in error, through ignorance
of the Scriptures and of the power of God.
022:030 For in the Resurrection, men neither marry nor are women given
in marriage, but they are like angels in Heaven.
022:031 But as to the Resurrection of the dead, have you never read
what God says to you,
022:032 `I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God
of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead, but of living men."
022:033 All the crowd heard this, and were filled with amazement
at His teaching.
022:034 Now the Pharisees came up when they heard that He had
silenced the Sadducees,
022:035 and one of them, an expounder of the Law, asked Him as
a test question,
022:036 "Teacher, which is the greatest Commandment in the Law?"
022:037 "`Thou shalt love the Lord thy God,'" He answered, "`with thy
whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole mind.'
022:038 This is the greatest and foremost Commandment.
022:039 And the second is similar to it: `Thou shalt love thy fellow
man as much as thyself.'
022:040 The whole of the Law and the Prophets is summed up in
these two Commandments."
022:041 While the Pharisees were still assembled there, Jesus put
a question to them.
022:042 "What think you about the Christ," He said, "whose son
is He?" "David's," they replied.
022:043 "How then," He asked, "does David, taught by the Spirit,
call Him Lord, when he says,
022:044 "`The Lord said to my Lord, sit at My right hand until I
have put thy foes beneath thy feet'?
022:045 "If therefore David calls Him Lord, how can He be his son?"
022:046 No one could say a word in reply, nor from that day did any
one venture again to put a question to Him.
023:001 Then Jesus addressed the crowds and His disciples.
023:002 "The Scribes," He said, "and the Pharisees sit in the chair of Moses.
