emtv@Matthew:22:1 @ And Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,

emtv@Matthew:22:2 @ "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a wedding for his son,

emtv@Matthew:22:3 @ and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they did not want to come.

emtv@Matthew:22:4 @ Again, he sent out other servants, saying, 'Say to those who are invited, "See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things [are] ready. Come to the wedding."'

emtv@Matthew:22:5 @ "But not caring, they went away, one to his own field, another to his business.

emtv@Matthew:22:6 @ And the rest seized his servants, mistreated [them], and killed [them].

emtv@Matthew:22:7 @ And when that king heard, he was furious. And he sent out his troops, and he destroyed those murderers, and he burned up their city.

emtv@Matthew:22:8 @ Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding indeed is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

emtv@Matthew:22:9 @ Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.'

emtv@Matthew:22:10 @ "So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding [hall] was filled with guests.

emtv@Matthew:22:11 @ But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there not dressed with wedding clothes.

emtv@Matthew:22:12 @ So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not having wedding clothes?' And he was speechless.

emtv@Matthew:22:13 @ Then the king said to the servants, 'Tie him up hands and feet, take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

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

emtv@Matthew:22:15 @ Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might trap Him in His speech.

emtv@Matthew:22:16 @ And they sent their disciples to Him with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You show favoritism to anyone.

emtv@Matthew:22:17 @ Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

emtv@Matthew:22:18 @ But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, "Why do you test Me, [you] hypocrites?

emtv@Matthew:22:19 @ Show Me the tax money."So they brought Him a denarius.

emtv@Matthew:22:20 @ And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?"

emtv@Matthew:22:21 @ They said to Him, "Caesar's."And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

emtv@Matthew:22:22 @ When they had heard these words, they marveled, and leaving Him, they went away.

emtv@Matthew:22:23 @ The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him, and they questioned Him,

emtv@Matthew:22:24 @ saying: "Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife as next of kin, and shall raise up offspring for his brother.

emtv@Matthew:22:25 @ Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died, after having married, and having no offspring, he left his wife to his brother.

emtv@Matthew:22:26 @ Likewise the second also, and the third, up to the seventh.

emtv@Matthew:22:27 @ Last of all the woman died also.

emtv@Matthew:22:28 @ Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For [they] all had her."

emtv@Matthew:22:29 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

emtv@Matthew:22:30 @ For in the resurrection neither do they marry, nor are they given in marriage, but they are like angels of God in heaven.

emtv@Matthew:22:31 @ But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,

emtv@Matthew: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."

emtv@Matthew:22:33 @ And when the crowds heard [this], they were astonished at His teaching.

emtv@Matthew:22:34 @ But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

emtv@Matthew:22:35 @ Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,

emtv@Matthew:22:36 @ "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"

emtv@Matthew:22:37 @ Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

emtv@Matthew:22:38 @ This is the first and great commandment.

emtv@Matthew:22:39 @ And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'

emtv@Matthew:22:40 @ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

emtv@Matthew:22:41 @ And when the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

emtv@Matthew:22:42 @ saying, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?"They said to Him, "David's."

emtv@Matthew:22:43 @ He said to them, "How then does David in the Spirit call Him 'Lord,' saying:

emtv@Matthew:22:44 @ 'The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet"'?

emtv@Matthew:22:45 @ "If David therefore calls Him 'Lord,' how is He his Son?"

emtv@Matthew:22:46 @ And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him any longer.
