Matthew Chapter 22

• Matthew 22:1
  Matthew.
• Matthew 22:2
  Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
• Matthew 22:3
  “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
• Matthew 22:4
  and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
• Matthew 22:5
  Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and a...
• Matthew 22:6
  But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
• Matthew 22:7
  and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
• Matthew 22:8
  When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
• Matthew 22:9
  “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.
• Matthew 22:10
  Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
• Matthew 22:11
  Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
• Matthew 22:12
  “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
• Matthew 22:13
  and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
• Matthew 22:14
  Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grind...
• Matthew 22:15
  For many are called, but few chosen.”
• Matthew 22:16
  Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
• Matthew 22:17
  They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matte...
• Matthew 22:18
  Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
• Matthew 22:19
  But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
• Matthew 22:20
  Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.
• Matthew 22:21
  He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
• Matthew 22:22
  They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
• Matthew 22:23
  When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
• Matthew 22:24
  On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
• Matthew 22:25
  saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
• Matthew 22:26
  Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
• Matthew 22:27
  In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
• Matthew 22:28
  After them all, the woman died.
• Matthew 22:29
  In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
• Matthew 22:30
  But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
• Matthew 22:31
  For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
• Matthew 22:32
  But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
• Matthew 22:33
  ‘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.”
• Matthew 22:34
  When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
• Matthew 22:35
  But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
• Matthew 22:36
  One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
• Matthew 22:37
  “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
• Matthew 22:38
  Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
• Matthew 22:39
  This is the first and great commandment.
• Matthew 22:40
  A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
• Matthew 22:41
  The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
• Matthew 22:42
  Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
• Matthew 22:43
  saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”
• Matthew 22:44
  He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
• Matthew 22:45
  ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
• Matthew 22:46
  “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
• Matthew 22:47
  No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
