1And responding, Jesus again spoke to them in parables, saying:

2“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who was king, who celebrated a wedding for his son.

stylus

Matthew 13:24, Revelation 19:7, Revelation 19:9, Matthew 13:24, Revelation 19:7

3And he sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding. But they were not willing to come.

stylus

Revelation 22:17, Revelation 22:17, Luke 14:15, Luke 14:17, John 5:40

4Again, he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell the invited: Behold, I have prepared my meal. My bulls and fatlings have been killed, and all is ready. Come to the wedding.’

stylus

Acts 13:46, Matthew 21:36, Acts 13:46, Matthew 21:36, Proverbs 9:1

5But they ignored this and they went away: one to his country estate, and another to his business.

stylus

Hebrews 2:3, Luke 14:18, Luke 14:20, Hebrews 2:3, Luke 14:18

6Yet truly, the rest took hold of his servants and, having treated them with contempt, killed them.

stylus

John 15:19, John 15:20, John 15:19, John 15:20, Matthew 10:22

7But when the king heard this, he was angry. And sending out his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and he burned their city.

stylus

Luke 19:27, Luke 19:27, Luke 21:24, 1 Peter 4:17, 1 Peter 4:18

8Then he said to his servants: ‘The wedding, indeed, has been prepared. But those who were invited were not worthy.

stylus

Revelation 3:4, 2 Thessalonians 1:5, Acts 13:46, Revelation 3:4, 2 Thessalonians 1:5

9Therefore, go out to the ways, and call whomever you will find to the wedding.’

stylus

Luke 14:21, Luke 14:24, Luke 14:21, Luke 14:24, Proverbs 1:20

10And his servants, departing into the ways, gathered all those whom they found, bad and good, and the wedding was filled with guests.

stylus

1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Corinthians 6:11, 1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Corinthians 6:11, 2 Corinthians 12:21

11Then the king entered to see the guests. And he saw a man there who was not clothed in a wedding garment.

stylus

Revelation 3:4, Revelation 3:5, Revelation 3:4, Revelation 3:5, Revelation 19:8

12And he said to him, ‘Friend, how is it that you have entered here without having a wedding garment?’ But he was dumbstruck.

stylus

Job 5:16, 1 Samuel 2:9, Matthew 20:13, 1 Corinthians 4:5, Acts 5:2

13Then the king said to the ministers: ‘Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

stylus

Matthew 8:12, Matthew 8:12, Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:30, Matthew 13:42

14For many are called, but few are chosen.’ ”

stylus

2 Peter 1:10, 2 Peter 1:10, Luke 13:23, Luke 13:24, Luke 13:23

15Then the Pharisees, going out, took counsel as to how they might entrap him in speech.

stylus

Luke 20:20, Luke 20:26, Luke 20:20, Luke 20:26, Mark 12:13

16And they sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying: “Teacher, we know that you are truthful, and that you teach the way of God in truth, and that the influence of others is nothing to you. For you do not consider the reputation of men.

stylus

Mark 3:6, Mark 3:6, Luke 20:21, Mark 12:14, Mark 8:15

17Therefore, tell us, how does it seem to you? Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar, or not?”

stylus

Luke 2:1, Romans 13:6, Romans 13:7, Luke 2:1, Romans 13:6

18But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said: “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

stylus

John 2:25, John 8:6, Luke 5:22, John 2:25, John 8:6

19Show me the coin of the census tax.” And they offered him a denarius.

stylus

Matthew 18:28, Revelation 6:6, Matthew 20:2, Matthew 18:28, Revelation 6:6

20And Jesus said to them, “Whose image is this, and whose inscription?”

stylus

Luke 20:24, Luke 20:24

21They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Then render to Caesar what is of Caesar; and to God what is of God.”

stylus

Romans 13:7, Romans 13:7, Acts 4:19, Proverbs 24:21, Acts 4:19

22And hearing this, they wondered. And having left him behind, they went away.

stylus

Mark 12:12, Mark 12:12, Colossians 4:6, Acts 6:10, Proverbs 26:4

23In that day, the Sadducees, who say there is to be no resurrection, approached him. And they questioned him,

stylus

Acts 4:1, Acts 4:1, Mark 12:18, Mark 12:27, Acts 23:6

24saying: “Teacher, Moses said: If anyone will have died, having no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and he shall raise up offspring to his brother.

stylus

Deuteronomy 25:5, Deuteronomy 25:10, Deuteronomy 25:5, Deuteronomy 25:10, Luke 20:28

25Now there were seven brothers with us. And the first, having taken a wife, died. And having no offspring, he left his wife to his brother:

stylus

Mark 12:19, Mark 12:23, Hebrews 9:27, Luke 20:29, Luke 20:33

26similarly with the second, and the third, even to the seventh.

stylus

27And last of all, the woman also passed away.

stylus

28In the resurrection, then, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.”

stylus

29But Jesus responded to them by saying: “You have gone astray by knowing neither the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

stylus

John 20:9, John 20:9, Romans 15:4, Romans 15:4, Jeremiah 32:17

30For in the resurrection, they shall neither marry, nor be given in marriage. Instead, they shall be like the Angels of God in heaven.

stylus

Luke 20:34, Luke 20:36, Luke 20:34, Luke 20:36, Mark 12:24

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

stylus

Matthew 12:3, Matthew 21:16, Matthew 12:3, Matthew 21:16, Matthew 12:7

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.”

stylus

Exodus 3:6, Exodus 3:6, Luke 20:37, Luke 20:38, Mark 12:26

33And when the crowds heard this, they wondered at his doctrine.

stylus

John 7:46, Matthew 22:22, Mark 6:2, Luke 20:39, Luke 20:40

34But the Pharisees, hearing that he had caused the Sadducees to be silent, came together as one.

stylus

Mark 12:28, Mark 12:31, Mark 12:28, Mark 12:31, Matthew 25:3

35And one of them, a doctor of the law, questioned him, to test him:

stylus

Luke 7:30, Luke 7:30, Luke 10:25, Luke 10:37, Luke 10:25

36“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”

stylus

Mark 12:28, Mark 12:33, Mark 12:28, Mark 12:33, Matthew 5:19

37Jesus said to him: “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

stylus

Mark 12:29, Mark 12:30, Mark 12:29, Mark 12:30, Luke 10:27

38This is the greatest and first commandment.

stylus

39But the second is similar to it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

stylus

Mark 12:31, Mark 12:31, Luke 10:27, Luke 10:37, Luke 10:27

40On these two commandments the entire law depends, and also the prophets.”

stylus

Romans 13:9, Romans 13:9, Matthew 7:12, Matthew 7:12, 1 John 4:19

41Then, when the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus questioned them,

stylus

Mark 12:35, Mark 12:37, Luke 20:41, Luke 20:44, Mark 12:35

42saying: “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “David’s.”

stylus

Matthew 16:13, Matthew 16:17, Matthew 16:13, Matthew 16:17, Jeremiah 23:5

43He said to them: “Then how can David, in the Spirit, call him Lord, saying:

stylus

2 Samuel 23:2, 2 Samuel 23:2, Revelation 4:2, Revelation 4:2, Luke 2:26

44‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?’

stylus

Psalms 110:1, Psalms 110:1, Hebrews 1:13, Hebrews 1:13, Acts 2:34

45So then, if David calls him Lord, how can he be his son?”

stylus

Romans 1:3, Romans 1:4, Romans 1:3, Romans 1:4, Philippians 2:6

46And no one was able to respond to him a word. And neither did anyone dare, from that day forward, to question him.
