vCNT
1 And responding Yahshua again spoke in parables to them, saying:
2 "The kingdom of the heavens may be compared to a man who is a king, who has made a wedding-feast for his son.
3 And he sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding-feast, and they did not wish to come.
4 Again he sent other servants, saying 'Tell those who are invited: Behold, my dinner is prepared! My bulls and fatlings are sacrificed and all things are ready, come to the wedding-feast!'
5 But they being uncaring departed, indeed one to his own farm, and another to his business,
6 but the rest seizing his servants assaulted and killed them.
7 And the king being angered and sending his armies destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
8 Then he says to his servants: 'The wedding-feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9 Therefore go along the outlets of the roads, and as many as you should find invite to the wedding-feast!'
10 And those servants having gone out into the roads gathered all whom they found, both the wicked and the good, and the wedding-feast had been filled with those dining.
11 Then the king upon entering to observe those dining saw there a man not clothed in a wedding garment,
12 and he says to him: 'Friend, how have you entered into here, not having a wedding garment?' But he was silent.
13 Then the king said to the servants: 'Binding his feet and hands, cast him out into the outer darkness!' There shall there be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
14 For many are called, but few chosen."
15 Then going the Pharisees took counsel, how they may entrap Him in speech.
16 And they send to Him their students with those of the partisans of Herodas, saying: "Teacher, we know that You are true, and in the way of God You teach in truth and in You there is no thought for anyone, for You do not look at the stature of men.
17 Therefore tell us, what do You suppose: is it lawful to give the tax to Caesar, or not?"
18 And Yahshua knowing their wickedness said: "Why do you try Me, hypocrites!
19 Show Me the coin for the tax!" And they presented to Him a denarion.
20 And He says to them: "Whose image and inscription is it?"
21 They say to Him "Caesar's!" Then He says to them: "Therefore render to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to Yahweh the things of Yahweh!"
22 And hearing it they marveled, and leaving Him they departed.
23 In that day Sadducees came forth to Him, saying there is not to be a resurrection, and questioning Him
24 saying "Teacher, Moses said that if one should die not having children, his brother shall join in marriage to his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. And the first being married had died, and not having offspring left his wife to his brother.
26 Likewise also the second and the third, unto the seventh.
27 Then the wife died after them all.
28 Therefore in the resurrection, of which of the seven shall the wife be? For they all had her!"
29 And replying Yahshua said to them: "Are you deceived, not knowing the writings nor the power of Yahweh?
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor do they give in marriage, but are like messengers in heaven.
31 Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by Yahweh, saying:
32 'I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaak and the God of Jakob'? He is not God of the dead, but of the living!"
33 And the crowds hearing were astonished by His teaching.
34 Then the Pharisees, hearing that He had silenced the Sadducees, gathered together at that same place.
35 And one from among them, a lawyer, making trial questioned Him:
36 "Teacher, what is the great commandment in the law?"
37 And He said to him: "Love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
38 This is the great and first commandment.
39 The second is thusly: You shall love him near to you as yourself.
40 By these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
41 Then upon the Pharisees' gathering together, Yahshua questioned them,
42 saying: "What do you think concerning the Christ? Whose son is He?" They say to Him "That of David!"
43 He says to them: "Then how does David by the Spirit call Him 'Master', saying:
44 'Yahweh has said to my Master, sit at My right hand, until when I should place Your enemies beneath Your feet'?
45 So if David calls Him 'Master', how is He his son?"
46 And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone venture from that day to question Him any longer.
