drb@Matthew:22:1 @And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:

drb@Matthew:22:2 @The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son.

drb@Matthew:22:3 @And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage; and they would not come.

drb@Matthew:22:4 @Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come ye to the marriage.

drb@Matthew:22:5 @But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise.

drb@Matthew:22:6 @And the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.

drb@Matthew:22:7 @But when the king had heard of it, he was angry, and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.

drb@Matthew:22:8 @Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.

drb@Matthew:22:9 @Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.

drb@Matthew:22:10 @And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests.

drb@Matthew:22:11 @And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.

drb@Matthew:22:12 @And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent.

drb@Matthew:22:13 @Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

drb@Matthew:22:14 @For many are called, but few are chosen.

drb@Matthew:22:15 @Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech.

drb@Matthew:22:16 @And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men

drb@Matthew:22:17 @Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

drb@Matthew:22:18 @But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites?

drb@Matthew:22:19 @Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny.

drb@Matthew:22:20 @And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?

drb@Matthew:22:21 @They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's.

drb@Matthew:22:22 @And hearing this they wondered, and leaving him, went their ways.

drb@Matthew:22:23 @That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him,

drb@Matthew:22:24 @Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up issue to his brother.

drb@Matthew:22:25 @Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his brother.

drb@Matthew:22:26 @In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh.

drb@Matthew:22:27 @And last of all the woman died also.

drb@Matthew:22:28 @At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her.

drb@Matthew:22:29 @And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

drb@Matthew:22:30 @For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.

drb@Matthew:22:31 @And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you:

drb@Matthew:22:32 @I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

drb@Matthew:22:33 @And the multitudes hearing it, were in admiration at his doctrine.

drb@Matthew:22:34 @But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together:

drb@Matthew:22:35 @And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him:

drb@Matthew:22:36 @Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?

drb@Matthew:22:37 @Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.

drb@Matthew:22:38 @This is the greatest and the first commandment.

drb@Matthew:22:39 @And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

drb@Matthew:22:40 @On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.

drb@Matthew:22:41 @And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them,

drb@Matthew:22:42 @Saying: What think you of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him: David's.

drb@Matthew:22:43 @He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying:

drb@Matthew:22:44 @The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?

drb@Matthew:22:45 @If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

drb@Matthew:22:46 @And no man was able to answer him a word; neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
