Matthew 22

<< Matthew 22 >>
King James Bible with Strong's Numbers
 

1 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
