(45 soever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust. "And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his para46 bles, they perceived that he spake of them. "And when they sought to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet. 22 1) And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto 2 them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, which made a marriage feast for his son, "and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden 4 to the marriage feast: and they would not come. 3 9 1 ye "Again he sent forth other 1servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come 5 to the marriage feast. "But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his 6 merchandise: "and the rest laid hold on his 'servants, (7 and entreated them shamefully, and killed them. "But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and de8 stroyed those murderers, and burned their city. "Then saith he to his 'servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy. "Go therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye 10 shall find, bid to the marriage feast. "And those 1servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good and the 11 wedding was filled with guests. "But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man which had 12 not on a wedding-garment: "and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding(13) garment? And he was speechless. "Then the king said. to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping CH. XXII. I by.. A.

"And they send to him. their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, 'Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one for thou regardest not the person of men. "Tell us therefore, What thinkest 17 thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not? 18 "But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why 19 tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? "Shew me the tribute 20 money. And they brought unto him a penny. "And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscrip21 tion? They say unto him, Cæsar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar's; and unto God the things that are God's. (22 "And when they heard it, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. (23 On that day there came to him Sadducees, 3which say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him, 24 "saying, 1Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise (25 up seed unto his brother. "Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first married and deceased, and 26 having no seed left his wife unto his brother; "in like man(27 ner the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. "And 28) after them all the woman died. "In the resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. "But Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. (30 'For in the resurrection they neither marry, 31 given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven. 29 1 Or, Teacher 2 See marginal note on ch. xviii. 28. 4 Gr. shall perform the duty of a husband's brother to his wife. nor are "But as 3 Gr. saying.

God is not the God of the dead, but of the 33 living. "And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching. (34) But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered themselves together. (35 "And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, tempt 36 ing him, "Master, which is the great commandment in (37 the law? "And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, 38) and with all thy mind. "This is the great and first com39) mandment. "And a second like unto it is this, Thou 40 shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. "On these two commandments hangeth the whole law, and the prophets. 4I 2 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus 42 asked them a question, "saying, What think ye of the Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son 43 of David. "He saith unto them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 45 "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet? "If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son? 46 "And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. (23 I Then spake Jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples, 2 "saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat: (3) "all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, these do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they 1 Or, Teacher 2 Or, And a second is like unto it, Thou shalt love &c.
