马太福音 22

喜筵的比喻

（路14·15—24）

1 耶稣又用比喻对他们说： 2 「天国好比一个王为他儿子摆设娶亲的筵席， 3 就打发仆人去，请那些被召的人来赴席，他们却不肯来。 4 王又打发别的仆人，说：『你们告诉那被召的人，我的筵席已经预备好了，牛和肥畜已经宰了，各样都齐备，请你们来赴席。』 5 那些人不理就走了；一个到自己田里去；一个做买卖去； 6 其余的拿住仆人，凌辱他们，把他们杀了。 7 王就大怒，发兵除灭那些凶手，烧毁他们的城。 8 于是对仆人说：『喜筵已经齐备，只是所召的人不配。 9 所以你们要往岔路口上去，凡遇见的，都召来赴席。』 10 那些仆人就出去，到大路上，凡遇见的，不论善恶都召聚了来，筵席上就坐满了客。 11 王进来观看宾客，见那里有一个没有穿礼服的， 12 就对他说：『朋友，你到这里来怎么不穿礼服呢？』那人无言可答。 13 于是王对使唤的人说：『捆起他的手脚来，把他丢在外边的黑暗里；在那里必要哀哭切齿了。』 14 因为被召的人多，选上的人少。」

纳税给凯撒的问题

（可12·13—17；路20·19—26）

15 当时，法利赛人出去商议，怎样就着耶稣的话陷害他， 16 就打发他们的门徒同希律党的人去见耶稣，说：「夫子，我们知道你是诚实人，并且诚诚实实传　神的道，什么人你都不徇情面，因为你不看人的外貌。 17 请告诉我们，你的意见如何？纳税给凯撒可以不可以？」 18 耶稣看出他们的恶意，就说：「假冒为善的人哪，为什么试探我？ 19 拿一个上税的钱给我看！」他们就拿一个银钱来给他。 20 耶稣说：「这像和这号是谁的？」 21 他们说：「是凯撒的。」耶稣说：「这样，凯撒的物当归给凯撒；　神的物当归给　神。」 22 他们听见就希奇，离开他走了。

复活的问题

（可12·18—27；路20·27—40）

23 撒都该人常说没有复活的事。那天，他们来问耶稣说： 24 「夫子，摩西说：『人若死了，没有孩子，他兄弟当娶他的妻，为哥哥生子立后。』 25 从前，在我们这里有弟兄七人，第一个娶了妻，死了，没有孩子，撇下妻子给兄弟。 26 第二、第三，直到第七个，都是如此。 27 末后，妇人也死了。 28 这样，当复活的时候，她是七个人中哪一个的妻子呢？因为他们都娶过她。」 29 耶稣回答说：「你们错了；因为不明白圣经，也不晓得　神的大能。 30 当复活的时候，人也不娶也不嫁，乃像天上的使者一样。 31 论到死人复活，　神在经上向你们所说的，你们没有念过吗？ 32 他说：『我是亚伯拉罕的　神，以撒的　神，雅各的　神。』　神不是死人的　神，乃是活人的　神。」 33 众人听见这话，就希奇他的教训。

最大的诫命

（可12·28—34；路10·25—28）

34 法利赛人听见耶稣堵住了撒都该人的口，他们就聚集。 35 内中有一个人是律法师，要试探耶稣，就问他说： 36 「夫子，律法上的诫命，哪一条是最大的呢？」 37 耶稣对他说：「你要尽心、尽性、尽意爱主—你的　神。 38 这是诫命中的第一，且是最大的。 39 其次也相仿，就是要爱人如己。 40 这两条诫命是律法和先知一切道理的总纲。」

大卫子孙的问题

（可12·35—37；路20·41—44）

41 法利赛人聚集的时候，耶稣问他们说： 42 「论到基督，你们的意见如何？他是谁的子孙呢？」他们回答说：「是大卫的子孙。」 43 耶稣说：「这样，大卫被圣灵感动，怎么还称他为主，说：

44 主对我主说： 你坐在我的右边， 等我把你仇敌放在你的脚下。

45  大卫既称他为主，他怎么又是大卫的子孙呢？」 46 他们没有一个人能回答一言。从那日以后，也没有人敢再问他什么。

Matthew 22

The Parable of the Wedding Banquet

1 Jesus spoket to them again in parables, saying:2 “The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son.3 He sent his slavest to summon those who had been invited to the banquet, but they would not come.4 Again he sent other slaves, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Look! The feast I have prepared for you is ready.t My oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.”’5 But they were indifferent and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.6 Thet rest seized his slaves, insolently mistreated them, and killed them.7 Thet king was furious! He sent his soldiers, and they put those murderers to deatht and set their cityt on fire.8 Then he said to his slaves, ‘The wedding is ready, but the ones who had been invited were not worthy.9 So go into the main streets and invite everyone you find to the wedding banquet.’10 And those slaves went out into the streets and gathered all they found, both bad and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.11 But when the king came in to see the wedding guests, he saw a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But he had nothing to say.t13 Then the king said to his attendants, ‘Tie him up hand and foot and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!’

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Paying Taxes to Caesar

15 Then the Phariseess went out and planned together to entrap him with his own words.t16 They sent to him their disciples along with the Herodians,s saying, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful, and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.s You do not court anyone’s favor because you show no partiality.t

17 Tell us then, what do you think? Is it rightt to pay taxests to Caesart or not?”
18 But Jesus realized their evil intentions and said, “Hypocrites! Why are you testing me?19 Show me the coin used for the tax.” Sot they brought him a denarius.ts20 Jesust said to them, “Whose imagets is this, and whose inscription?”21 They replied,t “Caesar’s.” He said to them,t “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”s

22 Now when they heard this they were stunned,t and they left him and went away.

Marriage and the Resurrection

23 The same day Sadduceess (who say there is no resurrection)s came to him and asked him,t24 “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and father childrentfor his brother.’s25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children he left his wife to his brother.26 The second did the same, and the third, down to the seventh.27 Lastt of all, the woman died.28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.”t29 Jesust answered them, “You are deceived,t because you don’t know the scriptures or the power of God.30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angelsss in heaven.31 Now as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God,t32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?s He is not the God of the dead but of the living!”s

33 When the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.

The Greatest Commandment

34 Now when the Phariseess heard that he had silenced the Sadducees,s they assembled together.t35 And one of them, an expert in religious law,t asked him a question to testt him:36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?”t37 Jesust said to him, “‘Lovetthe Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’s38 This is the first and greatestt commandment.39 The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’s

40 All the law and the prophets dependt on these two commandments.”

The Messiah: David’s Son and Lord

41 Whilet the Phariseess were assembled, Jesus asked them a question:t42 “What do you think about the Christ?ts Whose son is he?” They said, “The son of David.”s

43 He said to them, “How then does David by the Spirit call him ‘Lord,’ saying,

44 ‘The Lord said to my lord,s
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies under your feet”’?s
45 If David then calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?”t

46 No onet was able to answer him a word, and from that day on no one dared to question him any longer.
