wmth@Matthew:22:2 @ »The Kingdom of the Heavens,« He said, »may be compared to a king who celebrated the marriage of his son,
wmth@Matthew:22:3 @ and sent his servants to call the invited guests to the wedding, but they were unwilling to come.
wmth@Matthew:22:4 @ »Again he sent other servants with a message to those who were invited.« `My breakfast is now ready,' he said, `my bullocks and fat cattle are killed, and every preparation is made: come to the wedding.'
wmth@Matthew:22:5 @ »They however gave no heed, but went, one to his home in the country, another to his business;«
wmth@Matthew:22:6 @ and the rest seized the king's servants, maltreated them, and murdered them.
wmth@Matthew:22:7 @ So the king's anger was stirred, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burnt their city.
wmth@Matthew:22:8 @ Then he said to his servants, »`The wedding banquet is ready, but those who were invited were unworthy of it.
wmth@Matthew:22:9 @ Go out therefore to the crossroads, and everybody you meet invite to the wedding.'
wmth@Matthew:22:10 @ »So they went out into the roads and gathered together all they could find, both bad and good, and the banqueting hall was filled with guests.«
wmth@Matthew:22:11 @ »Now the king came in to see the guests; and among them he discovered one who was not wearing a wedding-robe.«
wmth@Matthew:22:12 @ »`My friend,' he said, `how is it that you came in here without a wedding robe?'«
wmth@Matthew:22:13 @ »The man stood speechless. Then the king said to the servants,« `Bind him hand and foot and fling him into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.'
wmth@Matthew:22:15 @ Then the Pharisees went and consulted together how they might entrap Him in His conversation.
wmth@Matthew:22:16 @ So they sent to Him their disciples together with the Herodians; who said, »Teacher, we know that you are truthful and that you faithfully teach God's truth; and that no fear of man misleads you, for you are not biased by men's wealth or rank.
wmth@Matthew:22:17 @ Give us your judgement therefore: is it allowable for us to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?«
wmth@Matthew:22:18 @ Perceiving their wickedness, Jesus replied, »Why are you hypocrites trying to ensnare me?
wmth@Matthew:22:21 @ »Caesar's,« they replied. »Pay therefore,« He rejoined, »what is Caesar's to Caesar; and what is God's to God.«
wmth@Matthew:22:22 @ They heard this, and were astonished; then left Him, and went their way.
wmth@Matthew:22:23 @ On the same day a party of Sadducees came to Him, contending that there is no resurrection. And they put this case to Him.
wmth@Matthew:22:25 @ Now we had among us seven brothers. The eldest of them married, but died childless, leaving his wife to his brother.
wmth@Matthew:22:28 @ At the Resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? for they all married her.«
wmth@Matthew:22:29 @ The reply of Jesus was, »You are in error, through ignorance of the Scriptures and of the power of God.
wmth@Matthew:22:30 @ For in the Resurrection, men neither marry nor are women given in marriage, but they are like angels in Heaven.
wmth@Matthew:22:31 @ But as to the Resurrection of the dead, have you never read what God says to you,
wmth@Matthew:22:33 @ All the crowd heard this, and were filled with amazement at His teaching.
wmth@Matthew:22:34 @ Now the Pharisees came up when they heard that He had silenced the Sadducees,
wmth@Matthew:22:35 @ and one of them, an expounder of the Law, asked Him as a test question,
wmth@Matthew:22:40 @ The whole of the Law and the Prophets is summed up in these two Commandments.«
wmth@Matthew:22:41 @ While the Pharisees were still assembled there, Jesus put a question to them.
wmth@Matthew:22:42 @ »What think you about the Christ,« He said, »whose son is He?«»David's,« they replied.
wmth@Matthew:22:43 @ »How then,« He asked, »does David, taught by the Spirit, call Him Lord, when he says,
wmth@Matthew:22:46 @ No one could say a word in reply, nor from that day did any one venture again to put a question to Him.
