Mat 22:8 Then he said to his servants, The feast is ready but the guests were not good enough.
Mat 22:9 Go then to the cross-roads, and get all those whom you see to come to the bride-feast.
Mat 22:10 And those servants went out into the streets, and got together all those whom they came across, bad and good: and the feast was full of guests.
Mat 22:11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a guest's robe;
Mat 22:12 And he says to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a guest's robe? And he had nothing to say.
Mat 22:13 Then the king said to the servants, Put cords round his hands and feet and put him out into the dark; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.
Mat 22:14 For out of all to whom the good news has come, only a small number will get salvation.
Mat 22:15 Then the Pharisees went and had a meeting to see how they might make use of his words to take him.
Mat 22:16 And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we see that you are true, and that you are teaching the true way of God, and have no fear of anyone, because you have no respect for a man's position.
Mat 22:17 Give us, then, your opinion of this: Is it right to give tax to Caesar, or not?
Mat 22:18 But Jesus saw their trick and said, Oh false ones, why are you attempting to put me in the wrong?
Mat 22:19 Let me see the tax money. And they gave him a penny.
Mat 22:20 And he said to them, Whose is this image and name on it?
Mat 22:21 They say to him, Caesar's. Then he said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's.
Mat 22:22 And hearing it, they were full of wonder, and went away from him.
Mat 22:23 On the same day there came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no coming back from the dead: and they put a question to him, saying,
Mat 22:24 Master, Moses said, If a man, at the time of his death, has no children, let his brother take his wife, and get a family for his brother;
Mat 22:25 Now there were among us seven brothers; and the first was married and at his death, having no seed, gave his wife to his brother;
Mat 22:26 In the same way the second and the third, up to the seventh.
Mat 22:27 And last of all the woman came to her end.
Mat 22:28 When they come back from the dead, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? because they all had her.
Mat 22:29 But Jesus said to them in answer, You are in error, not having knowledge of the Writings, or of the power of God.
Mat 22:30 For when they come back from the dead there are no husbands and wives, but they are as the angels in heaven.
Mat 22:31 But about the dead coming back to life, have you no knowledge of what was said to you by God in the Writings:
Mat 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead but of the living.
Mat 22:33 And the people hearing it were surprised at his teaching.
Mat 22:34 But the Pharisees, hearing how the mouths of the Sadducees had been stopped, came together;
Mat 22:35 And one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, testing him, and saying,
Mat 22:36 Master, which is the chief rule in the law?
Mat 22:37 And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
Mat 22:38 This is the first and greatest rule.
Mat 22:39 And a second like it is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.
Mat 22:40 On these two rules all the law and the prophets are based.
Mat 22:41 Now while the Pharisees were together, Jesus put a question to them, saying,
Mat 22:42 What is your opinion of the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, The Son of David.
Mat 22:43 He says to them, How then does David in the Spirit give him the name of Lord, saying,
Mat 22:44 The Lord said"};
