婚筵的比喻(A)

22 耶稣又用比喻对他们说: “天国好象一个王,为儿子摆设婚筵。 他派仆人去叫被邀请的人来参加婚筵。但他们不肯来。 他再派另一些仆人去,说:‘你们告诉被邀请的人,我已经预备好了筵席,公牛和肥畜已经宰了,一切都预备妥当。来参加婚筵吧!’ 但那些人却不理会就走了;有的去耕田,有的去作买卖, 其余的抓住王的仆人,凌辱他们,并且把他们杀了。 王就发怒,派兵消灭那些凶手,焚毁他们的城。 然后对仆人说:‘婚筵已经预备好了,只是被邀请的人不配。 所以你们要到大路口,凡遇见的,都请来参加婚筵。’

10 “那些仆人就走到街上,把所有遇见的,不论好人坏人,都招聚了来,婚筵上就坐满了人。 11 王进来与赴筵的人见面,看见有一个人没有穿著婚筵的礼服, 12 就对他说:‘朋友,你没有婚筵的礼服,怎能进到这里来呢?’他就无话可说。 13 于是王对侍从说:‘把他的手和脚都绑起来,丢到外面的黑暗里,在那里必要哀哭切齿。’ 14 因为被召的人多,选上的人少。”

以纳税的事问难耶稣(B)

15 法利赛人就去商量,怎样找耶稣的话柄来陷害他。 16 他们派了自己的门徒和希律党的人一同去问耶稣:“老师,我们知道你为人诚实,照着真理把 神的道教导人,不顾忌任何人,因为你不徇情面。 17 请把你的意见告诉我们,纳税给凯撒,可不可以呢?” 18 耶稣看出他们的恶意,就说:“虚伪的人,为甚么试探我呢? 19 拿纳税的钱币给我看看。”他们就拿了一个银币给他。 20 耶稣问他们:“这是谁的像,谁的名号?” 21 他们回答:“凯撒的。”他就对他们说:“凯撒的应当归给凯撒, 神的应当归给 神。” 22 他们听了,十分惊奇,就离开他走了。

人复活后不娶不嫁(C)

23 撒都该人向来认为没有复活的事。那一天,他们前来问耶稣: 24 “老师,摩西说:‘如果一个人死了,没有儿女,他的弟弟应该娶他的妻子,为哥哥立后。’ 25 从前我们这里有兄弟七人,头一个结了婚,没有孩子就死了,留下妻子给他的弟弟。 26 第二个、第三个直到第七个都是这样。 27 最后,那女人也死了。 28 那么,复活的时候,她是这七个人中哪一个的妻子呢?因为他们都娶过她。” 29 耶稣回答他们:“你们错了,因为你们不明白圣经,也不晓得 神的能力。 30 复活的时候,人们也不娶也不嫁,而是像天上的使者一样。 31-32 关于死人复活的事, 神对你们讲过:‘我是亚伯拉罕的 神,以撒的 神,雅各的 神’,你们没有念过吗? 神不是死人的 神,而是活人的 神。” 33 群众听了他的教训,就十分诧异。

最重要的诫命(D)

34 法利赛人听见耶稣使撒都该人无话可说,就聚集在一起。 35 他们中间有一个律法家,试探耶稣说: 36 “老师,律法中哪一条诫命是最重要的呢?” 37 他回答:“你要全心、全性、全意爱主你的 神。 38 这是最重要的第一条诫命。 39 第二条也和它相似,就是要爱人如己。 40 全部律法和先知书,都以这两条诫命作为根据。”

基督是大卫的子孙(E)

41 法利赛人聚在一起的时候,耶稣问他们: 42 “你们对基督的看法怎样?他是谁的子孙呢?”他们回答:“大卫的子孙。” 43 耶稣就说:“那么大卫被圣灵感动,怎么会称他为主呢?他说:

44 ‘主对我的主说:

你坐在我的右边,

等我把你的仇敌放在你的脚下。’

45 “大卫既然称他为主,他怎么又是大卫的子孙呢?” 46 没有人能够回答他。从那天起,也没有人敢再问他。

The Parable of the Wedding Banquet(A)

22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like(B) a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants(C) to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.

“Then he sent some more servants(D) and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

“But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers(E) and burned their city.

“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. So go to the street corners(F) and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good,(G) and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend(H)?’ The man was speechless.

13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’(I)

14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”(J)

Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar(K)

15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians.(L) “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a](M) to Caesar or not?”

18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”

21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.

Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s,(N) and to God what is God’s.”

22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.(O)

Marriage at the Resurrection(P)

23 That same day the Sadducees,(Q) who say there is no resurrection,(R) came to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.(S) 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27 Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”

29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures(T) or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage;(U) they will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[b]?(V) He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”

33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.(W)

The Greatest Commandment(X)

34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees,(Y) the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law,(Z) tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[c](AA) 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d](AB) 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”(AC)

Whose Son Is the Messiah?(AD)

41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”

“The son of David,”(AE) they replied.

43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord’? For he says,

44 “‘The Lord said to my Lord:
    “Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies
    under your feet.”’[e](AF)

45 If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” 46 No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.(AG)
