Usporedba o kraljevskoj svadbi
(Lk 14,15-24)
22 Isus je narodu ponovo počeo govoriti u usporedbama. Rekao je: 2 »Kraljevstvo je nebesko slično kralju koji je pripremio svadbu za svoga sina. 3 Poslao je sluge po one koji su bili pozvani na svadbu, ali oni nisu htjeli doći.
4 Tada je poslao druge sluge, govoreći: ‘Kažite onima što su pozvani: Evo, moja je gozba pripremljena, volovi i ugojena stoka su zaklani i sve je spremno. Dođite na svadbu!’
5 No oni se nisu odazvali, nego su otišli: jedan na svoju njivu, drugi za svojom trgovinom. 6 Ostali su zgrabili kraljeve sluge, zlostavljali ih i ubili. 7 Na to se kralj rasrdio pa je poslao svoje vojnike i oni su pogubili ubojice njegovih slugu i spalili njihov grad.
8 Tada je kralj rekao svojim slugama: ‘Svadba je spremna, ali oni koji su pozvani nisu bili dostojni. 9 Stoga, idite na raskrižja cesta i pozovite na svadbu sve koje nađete.’ 10 Oni su otišli na ulice i sakupili sve koje su našli—zle i dobre—i svadbena se dvorana napunila gostima.
11 A kad je kralj ušao da pogleda goste, vidio je ondje čovjeka koji nije bio u svadbenoj odjeći. 12 Rekao mu je: ‘Prijatelju, kako si ušao ovamo bez svadbene odjeće?’ A čovjek je zanijemio. 13 Tada je kralj naredio svojim slugama: ‘Svežite mu ruke i noge pa ga bacite u tamu, gdje će biti plač i škrgut zuba.’
14 Jer, mnogo je pozvanih, ali malo izabranih.«
Pitanje o porezu
(Mk 12,13-17; Lk 20,20-26)
15 Tada su farizeji otišli i dogovorili se kako da uhvate Isusa u riječi. 16 Poslali su mu svoje učenike zajedno s herodovcima[a], a ovi su mu rekli: »Učitelju, znamo da si istinoljubiv i da uistinu učiš Božjem putu, te da se ne obazireš ni na koga, jer ne gledaš tko je tko. 17 Zato nam reci što misliš: je li pravo plaćati caru porez ili nije?«
18 Isus je znao njihove zle namjere pa je rekao: »Licemjeri! Zašto me pokušavate namamiti u zamku? 19 Pokažite mi novac za plaćanje poreza.« Pružili su mu srebrnjak. 20 Tada ih je upitao: »Čiji je ovo lik i natpis?«
21 Odgovorili su mu: »Carev.«
A on im je tada rekao: »Dakle, dajte caru što pripada caru, a Bogu što pripada Bogu.«
22 Zadivili su se kad su to čuli pa su ga ostavili i otišli.
Pitanje o uskrsnuću
(Mk 12,18-27; Lk 20,27-40)
23 Toga su dana Isusu prišli i saduceji, koji kažu da nema uskrsnuća, pa su ga upitali: 24 »Učitelju, Mojsije je rekao: ‘Ako čovjek umre bez djece, neka se brat oženi njegovom ženom i podigne potomstvo svome bratu.’[b] 25 Kod nas je bilo sedmero braće. Prvi se oženio i umro bez djece pa mu se brat oženio ženom. 26 Isto se dogodilo drugom i trećem bratu i tako sve do sedmoga. 27 Na kraju je i žena umrla. 28 Dakle, kojemu će od sedmorice ona biti žena nakon uskrsnuća jer su se svi njome oženili?«
29 Isus im je na to odgovorio: »U zabludi ste jer ne poznajete ni Sveta pisma ni Božju moć. 30 U budućem životu, nakon uskrsnuća, ljudi se neće niti ženiti niti udavati, nego će biti poput anđela na nebu. 31 A što se uskrsnuća mrtvih tiče, niste li čitali što vam je rekao Bog: 32 ‘Ja sam Bog Abrahamov, Izakov i Jakovljev’?[c]
A Bog nije Bog mrtvih, nego živih.«
33 Kad je narod to čuo, bio je zadivljen njegovim učenjem.
Najvažnija zapovijed
(Mk 12,28-34; Lk 10,25-28)
34 Kad su čuli kako je Isus svojim odgovorom ušutkao saduceje, okupili su se farizeji. 35 Jedan od njih, učitelj Zakona, u namjeri da ga iskuša, upitao je: 36 »Učitelju, koja je najvažnija zapovijed u Zakonu?«
37 A Isus mu je rekao: »‘Voli Gospodina Boga svoga, svim srcem svojim, svom dušom svojom i svim umom svojim!’[d] 38 To je prva i najvažnija zapovijed. 39 Zatim je tu druga zapovijed, jednaka prvoj: ‘Voli svoga bližnjega kao sebe samoga!’[e] 40 Cijeli Zakon i spisi proroka temelje se na ovim dvjema zapovijedima.«
Pitanje o Kristu i Davidu
(Mk 12,35-37; Lk 20,41-44)
41 Dok su farizeji još bili na okupu, Isus ih je upitao: 42 »Što mislite o Kristu[f]? Čiji je on potomak?«
Odgovorili su mu: »Davidov.«
43 A on im je rekao: »Kako to da ga David, potaknut Duhom, naziva Gospodinom, izjavivši:
44 ‘Gospodin je rekao mome Gospodinu:
Sjedni mi s desne strane
dok tvoje neprijatelje ne položim pod tvoje noge?’[g]
45 Dakle, ako ga David naziva Gospodinom, kako mu onda Krist može biti potomak?« 46 Ali nitko mu nije mogao odgovoriti na to niti ga se tko od toga dana usudio išta pitati.

New King James Version
The Parable of the Wedding Feast(A)
22 And Jesus answered (B)and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4 Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; (C)my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” ’ 5 But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6 And the rest seized his servants, treated them [a]spitefully, and killed them. 7 But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out (D)his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not (E)worthy. 9 Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ 10 So those servants went out into the highways and (F)gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there (G)who did not have on a wedding garment. 12 So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was (H)speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, [b]take him away, and cast him (I)into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 (J)“For many are called, but few are chosen.”
The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?(K)
15 (L)Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk. 16 And they sent to Him their disciples with the (M)Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not [c]regard the person of men. 17 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18 But Jesus [d]perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show Me the tax money.”
So they brought Him a denarius.
20 And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”
21 They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”
And He said to them, (N)“Render[e] therefore to Caesar the things that are (O)Caesar’s, and to God the things that are (P)God’s.” 22 When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.
The Sadducees: What About the Resurrection?(Q)
23 (R)The same day the Sadducees, (S)who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, 24 saying: “Teacher, (T)Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother. 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh. 27 Last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are [f]mistaken, (U)not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but (V)are like angels [g]of God in heaven. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, 32 (W)‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 And when the multitudes heard this, (X)they were astonished at His teaching.
The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?(Y)
34 (Z)But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 Then one of them, (AA)a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, (AB)“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: (AC)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 (AD)On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
Jesus: How Can David Call His Descendant Lord?(AE)
41 (AF)While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?”
They said to Him, “The (AG)Son of David.”
43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:
44 ‘The(AH) Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool” ’?
45 If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?” 46 (AI)And no one was able to answer Him a word, (AJ)nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore.

King James Version
22 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
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.
33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

English Standard Version
The Parable of the Wedding Feast
22 And again Jesus (A)spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 (B)“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave (C)a wedding feast for his son, 3 and (D)sent his servants[a] to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. 4 (E)Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my (F)dinner, (G)my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ 5 But (H)they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, (I)treated them shamefully, and (J)killed them. 7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and (K)destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not (L)worthy. 9 Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ 10 And those servants went out into the roads and (M)gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there (N)a man who had no wedding garment. 12 And he said to him, (O)‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and (P)cast him into the outer darkness. In that place (Q)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are (R)called, but few are (S)chosen.”
Paying Taxes to Caesar
15 (T)Then the Pharisees went and plotted how (U)to entangle him in his words. 16 And they sent (V)their disciples to him, along with (W)the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, (X)we know that you are true and teach (Y)the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone's opinion, for (Z)you are not swayed by appearances.[b] 17 Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay (AA)taxes to (AB)Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why (AC)put me to the test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius.[c] 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, (AD)“Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” 22 When they heard it, they marveled. And they (AE)left him and went away.
Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection
23 The same day (AF)Sadducees came to him, (AG)who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, (AH)‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’ 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.”
29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, (AI)because you know neither the Scriptures nor (AJ)the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither (AK)marry nor (AL)are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, (AM)have you not read what was said to you by God: 32 (AN)‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 And when the crowd heard it, (AO)they were astonished at his teaching.
The Great Commandment
34 (AP)But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced (AQ)the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 (AR)And one of them, (AS)a lawyer, asked him a question (AT)to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, (AU)“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And (AV)a second is like it: (AW)You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 (AX)On these two commandments depend (AY)all the Law and the Prophets.”
Whose Son Is the Christ?
41 (AZ)Now while the Pharisees (BA)were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42 saying, “What do you think about (BB)the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, (BC)“The son of David.” 43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, (BD)in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying,
44 (BE)“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies under your feet”’?
45 If then David calls him Lord, (BF)how is he his son?” 46 (BG)And no one was able to answer him a word, (BH)nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.
