Matthew:22:3-33
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And sent forth (
5656 )
his servants to call (
5658 )
them that were bidden (
5772 )
to the wedding :
and they would (
5707 )
not come (
5629 ).
*
Again ,
he sent forth (
5656 )
other servants ,
saying (
5723 ),
Tell (
5628 )
them which are bidden (
5772 ),
Behold (
5628 ),
I have prepared (
5656 )
my dinner :
my oxen and my fatlings are killed (
5772 ),
and all things are ready :
come (
5773 )
unto the marriage .
*
But they made light of (
5660 )
it ,
and went their ways (
5627 ),
one to his farm ,
another to his merchandise :
*
And the remnant took (
5660 )
his servants ,
and entreated them spitefully (
5656 ),
and slew (
5656 )
them .
*
But when the king heard (
5660 )
thereof ,
he was wroth (
5681 ):
and he sent forth (
5660 )
his armies ,
and destroyed (
5656 )
those murderers ,
and burned up (
5656 )
their city .
*
Then saith he (
5719 )
to his servants ,
The wedding is (
5748 )
ready ,
but they which were bidden (
5772 )
were (
5713 )
not worthy .
*
Go ye (
5737 )
therefore into the highways ,
and as many as ye shall find (
5632 ),
bid (
5657 )
to the marriage .
*
So those servants went out (
5631 )
into the highways ,
and gathered together (
5627 )
all as many as they found (
5627 ),
both bad and good :
and the wedding was furnished (
5681 )
with guests (
5740 ).
*
And when the king came in (
5631 )
to see (
5664 )
the guests (
5740 ),
he saw (
5627 )
there a man which had not on (
5765 )
a wedding garment :
*
And he saith (
5719 )
unto him ,
Friend ,
how camest thou (
5627 )
in hither not having (
5723 )
a wedding garment ?
And he was speechless (
5681 ).
*
Then said (
5627 )
the king to the servants ,
Bind (
5660 )
him hand and foot ,
and take him away (
5657 ),
and cast (
5628 )
him into outer darkness ;
there shall be (
5704 )
weeping and gnashing of teeth .
*
For many are (
5748 )
called ,
but few are chosen .
*
Then went (
5679 )
the Pharisees ,
and took (
5627 )
counsel how they might entangle (
5661 )
him in his talk .
*
And they sent out (
5719 )
unto him their disciples with the Herodians ,
saying (
5723 ),
Master ,
we know (
5758 )
that thou art (
5748 )
true ,
and teachest (
5719 )
the way of God in truth ,
neither carest (
5719 )
thou for any man :
for thou regardest (
5719 )
not the person of men .
*
Tell (
5628 )
us therefore ,
What thinkest (
5719 )
thou ?
Is it lawful (
5748 )
to give (
5629 )
tribute unto Caesar ,
or not ?
*
But Jesus perceived (
5631 )
their wickedness ,
and said (
5627 ),
Why tempt ye (
5719 )
me ,
ye hypocrites ?
*
Shew (
5657 )
me the tribute money .
And they brought (
5656 )
unto him a penny .
*
And he saith (
5719 )
unto them ,
Whose is this image and superscription ?
*
They say (
5719 )
unto him ,
Caesars .
Then saith he (
5719 )
unto them ,
Render (
5628 )
therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesars ;
and unto God the things that are Gods .
*
When they had heard (
5660 )
these words ,
they marvelled (
5656 ),
and left (
5631 )
him ,
and went their way (
5627 ).
*
The same day came (
5656 )
to him the Sadducees ,
which say (
5723 )
that there is (
5750 )
no resurrection ,
and asked (
5656 )
him ,
*
Saying (
5723 ),
Master ,
Moses said (
5627 ),
If a man die (
5632 ),
having (
5723 )
no children ,
his brother shall marry (
5692 )
his wife ,
and raise up (
5692 )
seed unto his brother .
*
Now there were (
5713 )
with us seven brethren :
and the first ,
when he had married a wife (
5660 ),
deceased (
5656 ),
and ,
having (
5723 )
no issue ,
left (
5656 )
his wife unto his brother :
*
Likewise the second also ,
and the third ,
unto the seventh .
*
And last of all the woman died (
5627 )
also .
*
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be (
5704 )
of the seven ?
for they all had (
5627 )
her .
*
Jesus answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 )
unto them ,
Ye do err (
5744 ),
not knowing (
5761 )
the scriptures ,
nor the power of God .
*
For in the resurrection they neither marry (
5719 ),
nor are given in marriage (
5743 ),
but are (
5748 )
as the angels of God in heaven .
*
But as touching the resurrection of the dead ,
have ye not read (
5627 )
that which was spoken (
5685 )
unto you by God ,
saying (
5723 ),
*
I am (
5748 )
the God of Abraham ,
and the God of Isaac ,
and the God of Jacob ?
God is (
5748 )
not the God of the dead ,
but of the living (
5723 ).
*
And when the multitude heard (
5660 )
this ,
they were astonished (
5712 )
at his doctrine .
