1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10 So 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 when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. 16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. 17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. 20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21 They say unto him, Cæsar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s. 22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27 And last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29 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, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 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. 33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. 43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? 46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
1 耶稣又用比喻对他们说：
2 "天国好像一个王， 为儿子摆设婚筵。
3 他派仆人去叫被邀请的人来参加婚筵。但他们不肯来。
4 他再派另一些仆人去， 说： ‘你们告诉被邀请的人， 我已经预备好了筵席， 公牛和肥畜已经宰了， 一切都预备妥当。来参加婚筵吧！ ’
5 但那些人却不理会就走了； 有的去耕田， 有的去作买卖，
6 其余的抓住王的仆人， 凌辱他们， 并且把他们杀了。
7 王就发怒， 派兵消灭那些凶手， 焚毁他们的城。
8 然后对仆人说： ‘婚筵已经预备好了， 只是被邀请的人不配。
9 所以你们要到大路口， 凡遇见的， 都请来参加婚筵。’
10 "那些仆人就走到街上， 把所有遇见的， 不论好人坏人， 都招聚了来， 婚筵上就坐满了人。
11 王进来与赴筵的人见面， 看见有一个人没有穿着婚筵的礼服，
12 就对他说： ‘朋友， 你没有婚筵的礼服， 怎能进到这里来呢？’他就无话可说。
13 于是王对侍从说： ‘把他的手和脚都绑起来， 丢到外面的黑暗里， 在那里必要哀哭切齿。’
14 因为被召的人多， 选上的人少。"
15 法利赛人就去商量， 怎样找耶稣的话柄来陷害他。
16 他们派了自己的门徒和希律党的人一同去问耶稣： "老师， 我们知道你为人诚实， 照着真理把 神的道教导人， 不顾忌任何人， 因为你不徇情面。
17 请把你的意见告诉我们， 纳税给凯撒， 可不可以呢？"
18 耶稣看出他们的恶意， 就说： "虚伪的人， 为什么试探我呢？
19 拿纳税的钱币给我看看。"他们就拿了一个银币给他。
20 耶稣问他们： "这是谁的像， 谁的名号？"
21 他们回答： "凯撒的。"他就对他们说： "凯撒的应当归给凯撒， 神的应当归给 神。"
22 他们听了， 十分惊奇， 就离开他走了。
23 撒都该人向来认为没有复活的事。那一天， 他们前来问耶稣：
24 "老师， 摩西说： ‘如果一个人死了， 没有儿女， 他的弟弟应该娶他的妻子， 为哥哥立后。’
25 从前我们这里有兄弟七人， 头一个结了婚， 没有孩子就死了， 留下妻子给他的弟弟。
26 第二个、第三个直到第七个都是这样。
27 最后， 那女人也死了。
28 那么， 复活的时候， 她是这七个人中哪一个的妻子呢？因为他们都娶过她。"
29 耶稣回答他们： "你们错了， 因为你们不明白圣经， 也不晓得 神的能力。
30 复活的时候， 人们也不娶也不嫁， 而是像天上的使者一样。
31 关于死人复活的事， 神对你们讲过： ‘我是亚伯拉罕的 神， 以撒的 神， 雅各的 神’， 你们没有念过吗？ 神不是死人的 神， 而是活人的 神。"
33 群众听了他的教训， 就十分诧异。
34 法利赛人听见耶稣使撒都该人无话可说， 就聚集在一起。
35 他们中间有一个律法家， 试探耶稣说：
36 "老师， 律法中哪一条诫命是最重要的呢？"
37 他回答： "你要全心、全性、全意爱主你的 神。
38 这是最重要的第一条诫命。
39 第二条也和它相似， 就是要爱人如己。
40 全部律法和先知书， 都以这两条诫命作为根据。"
41 法利赛人聚在一起的时候， 耶稣问他们：
42 "你们对基督的看法怎样？他是谁的子孙呢？"他们回答： "大卫的子孙。"
43 耶稣就说： "那么大卫被圣灵感动， 怎么会称他为主呢？他说：
44 ‘主对我的主说： 你坐在我的右边， 等我把你的仇敌放在你的脚下。’
45 "大卫既然称他为主， 他怎么又是大卫的子孙呢？"
46 没有人能够回答他。从那天起， 也没有人敢再问他。
