MATTHEW Chapter 22 1 And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a marriage feast for his son, 3 and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast; but they would not come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have made ready my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves are killed, and everything is ready; come to the marriage feast.' 5 But they made light of it and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore to the thoroughfares, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find.' 10 And those servants went out into the streets and 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 a man who had no wedding garment; 12 and he said to him, '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 cast him into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.' 14 For many are called, but few are chosen." 15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how to entangle him in his talk. 16 And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God truthfully, and care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men. 17 Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, "Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the money for the tax." And they brought him a coin. 20 And Jesus said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" 21 They said, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Render therefore 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 left him and went away. 23 The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question, 24 saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies, having no children, his brother must marry the widow, and raise up children for his brother.' 25 Now there were seven brothers among us; the first married, and died, and having no children 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, to which of the seven will she be wife? For they all had her." 29 But Jesus answered them, "You are wrong, because you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God, 32 '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, they were astonished at his teaching. 34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they came together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, to test him. 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" 37 And he said to him, "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 a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets." 41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42 saying, "What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "The son of David." 43 He said to them, "How is it then that David, inspired by the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying, 44 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thy enemies under thy feet'? 45 If David thus calls him Lord, how is he his son?" 46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did any one dare to ask him any more questions.

MARK Mark 12:13 And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to entrap him in his talk. Mark 12:14 And they came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Mark 12:15 Should we pay them, or should we not?" But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why put me to the test? Bring me a coin, and let me look at it." Mark 12:16 And they brought one. And he said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They said to him, "Caesar's." Mark 12:17 Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were amazed at him. Mark 12:18 And Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question, saying, Mark 12:19 "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother. Mark 12:20 There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no children; Mark 12:21 and the second took her, and died, leaving no children; and the third likewise; Mark 12:22 and the seven left no children. Last of all the woman also died. Mark 12:23 In the resurrection whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife." Mark 12:24 Jesus said to them, "Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God? Mark 12:25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. Mark 12:26 And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? Mark 12:27 He is not God of the dead, but of the living; you are quite wrong." Mark 12:28 And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the first of all?" Mark 12:29 Jesus answered, "The first is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; Mark 12:30 and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' Mark 12:31 The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." Mark 12:35 And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, "How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? Mark 12:36 David himself, inspired by the Holy Spirit, declared, 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thy enemies under thy feet.' Mark 12:37 David himself calls him Lord; so how is he his son?" And the great throng heard him gladly.

LUKE Luke 20:20 So they watched him, and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might take hold of what he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor. Luke 20:21 They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God. Luke 20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?" Luke 20:23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Luke 20:24 "Show me a coin. Whose likeness and inscription has it?" They said, "Caesar's." Luke 20:25 He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." Luke 20:26 And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him by what he said; but marveling at his answer they were silent. Luke 20:27 There came to him some Sadducees, those who say that there is no resurrection, Luke 20:28 and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother. Luke 20:29 Now there were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and died without children; Luke 20:30 and the second Luke 20:31 and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died. Luke 20:32 Afterward the woman also died. Luke 20:33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife." Luke 20:34 And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage; Luke 20:35 but those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, Luke 20:36 for they cannot die any more, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. Luke 20:37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Luke 20:38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him." Luke 20:39 And some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you have spoken well." Luke 20:40 For they no longer dared to ask him any question. Luke 10:25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" Luke 10:26 He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read?" Luke 10:27 And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." Luke 10:28 And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and you will live." Luke 20:41 But he said to them, "How can they say that the Christ is David's son? Luke 20:42 For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, Luke 20:43 till I make thy enemies a stool for thy feet.' Luke 20:44 David thus calls him Lord; so how is he his son?"
