2The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
Matthew 22:2
3And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
Matthew 22:3
4Again, 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.
Matthew 22:4

6And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
Matthew 22:6
7But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Matthew 22:8
9Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
Matthew 22:9
10So 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.
Matthew 22:10
11And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
Matthew 22:11
12And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Matthew 22:12
13Then 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.

Matthew 22:16
17Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

19Shew me the tribute money.And they brought unto him a penny.
Matthew 22:19
20And he saith unto them,Whose is this image and superscription?

Matthew 22:21
22When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
Matthew 22:22
23The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
Matthew 22:23
24Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Matthew 22:24
25Now 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:
Matthew 22:25
26Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
Matthew 22:26
27And last of all the woman died also.
Matthew 22:27
28Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
Matthew 22:28
29Jesus answered and said unto them,Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

31But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
Matthew 22:31

Matthew 22:32
33And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
Matthew 22:33
34But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

35Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
Matthew 22:35
36Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Matthew 22:36
37Jesus said unto him,Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matthew 22:37
38This is the first and great commandment.
