1[Once] again, Jesus spoke to them in parables: 1Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς πάλιν εἶπεν ἐν παραβολαῖς αὐτοῖς λέγων
2“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 2Ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ βασιλεῖ ὅστις ἐποίησεν γάμους τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ
3He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come. 3καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ καλέσαι τοὺς κεκλημένους εἰς τοὺς γάμους καὶ οὐκ ἤθελον ἐλθεῖν
4Again, he sent other servants [and] said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fatlings have been killed, and everything [is] ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’ 4Πάλιν ἀπέστειλεν ἄλλους δούλους λέγων Εἴπατε τοῖς κεκλημένοις Ἰδοὺ τὸ ἄριστόν μου ἡτοίμακα οἱ ταῦροί μου καὶ τὰ σιτιστὰ τεθυμένα καὶ πάντα ἕτοιμα δεῦτε εἰς τοὺς γάμους
5But they paid no attention [and] went away, one to his field, and another to his business. 5Οἱ δὲ ἀμελήσαντες ἀπῆλθον ὃς μὲν εἰς τὸν ἴδιον ἀγρόν ὃς δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν ἐμπορίαν αὐτοῦ
6The rest seized his servants, mistreated [them], and killed [them]. 6οἱ δὲ λοιποὶ κρατήσαντες τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ ὕβρισαν καὶ ἀπέκτειναν
7The king was enraged. He sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city. 7Ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς ὠργίσθη καὶ πέμψας τὰ στρατεύματα αὐτοῦ ἀπώλεσεν τοὺς φονεῖς ἐκείνους καὶ τὴν πόλιν αὐτῶν ἐνέπρησεν
8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy. 8τότε λέγει τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ Ὁ μὲν γάμος ἕτοιμός ἐστιν οἱ δὲ κεκλημένοι οὐκ ἦσαν ἄξιοι
9Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’ 9πορεύεσθε οὖν ἐπὶ τὰς διεξόδους τῶν ὁδῶν καὶ ὅσους ἐὰν εὕρητε καλέσατε εἰς τοὺς γάμους
10So the servants went out into the streets [and] gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. 10Καὶ ἐξελθόντες οἱ δοῦλοι ἐκεῖνοι εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς συνήγαγον πάντας οὓς εὗρον πονηρούς τε καὶ ἀγαθούς καὶ ἐπλήσθη ὁ γάμος* ἀνακειμένων
11But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man [who was] not dressed in wedding clothes. 11Εἰσελθὼν δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς θεάσασθαι τοὺς ἀνακειμένους εἶδεν ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπον οὐκ ἐνδεδυμένον ἔνδυμα γάμου
12‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But [the man] was speechless. 12καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ Ἑταῖρε πῶς εἰσῆλθες ὧδε μὴ ἔχων ἔνδυμα γάμου Ὁ δὲ ἐφιμώθη
13Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot [and] throw him outside into the outer darkness, [where] there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 13Τότε ὁ βασιλεὺς εἶπεν τοῖς διακόνοις Δήσαντες αὐτοῦ πόδας καὶ χεῖρας ἐκβάλετε αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων
14For many are called, but few [are] chosen.” 14Πολλοὶ γάρ εἰσιν κλητοὶ ὀλίγοι δὲ ἐκλεκτοί
15Then the Pharisees went out [and] plotted to trap [Jesus] in His words. 15Τότε πορευθέντες οἱ Φαρισαῖοι συμβούλιον ἔλαβον ὅπως αὐτὸν παγιδεύσωσιν ἐν λόγῳ
16They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and [that] You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You defer to no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance. 16καὶ ἀποστέλλουσιν αὐτῷ τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτῶν μετὰ τῶν Ἡρῳδιανῶν λέγοντες* Διδάσκαλε οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀληθὴς εἶ καὶ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ διδάσκεις καὶ οὐ μέλει σοι περὶ οὐδενός οὐ γὰρ βλέπεις εἰς πρόσωπον ἀνθρώπων
17So tell us what You think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” 17εἰπὸν οὖν ἡμῖν τί σοι δοκεῖ ἔξεστιν δοῦναι κῆνσον Καίσαρι ἢ οὔ
18But Jesus was aware of their evil motives. “You hypocrites!” He said. “Why are you testing Me? 18Γνοὺς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὴν πονηρίαν αὐτῶν εἶπεν Τί με πειράζετε ὑποκριταί
19Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius. 19ἐπιδείξατέ μοι τὸ νόμισμα τοῦ κήνσου Οἱ δὲ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ δηνάριον
20“Whose likeness [is] this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?” 20Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς Τίνος ἡ εἰκὼν αὕτη καὶ ἡ ἐπιγραφή
21“Caesar’s,” they answered. So [Jesus] told them, “Give to Caesar what [is] Caesar’s, and to God what [is] God’s.” 21Λέγουσιν ‹αὐτῷ› Καίσαρος Τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς Ἀπόδοτε οὖν τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι καὶ τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῷ Θεῷ
22And when they heard [this], they were amazed. So they left Him [and] went away. 22Καὶ ἀκούσαντες ἐθαύμασαν καὶ ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ἀπῆλθαν
23That [same] day [the] Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to [Jesus] and questioned Him. 23Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ Σαδδουκαῖοι λέγοντες μὴ εἶναι ἀνάστασιν καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν
24“Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for [him]. 24λέγοντες Διδάσκαλε Μωϋσῆς εἶπεν Ἐάν τις ἀποθάνῃ μὴ ἔχων τέκνα ἐπιγαμβρεύσει ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀναστήσει σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ
25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first [one] married and died without having children. [So] he left his wife to his brother. 25ἦσαν δὲ παρ’ ἡμῖν ἑπτὰ ἀδελφοί καὶ ὁ πρῶτος γήμας ἐτελεύτησεν καὶ μὴ ἔχων σπέρμα ἀφῆκεν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ
26The same thing happened to the second and third [brothers], down to the seventh. 26ὁμοίως καὶ ὁ δεύτερος καὶ ὁ τρίτος ἕως τῶν ἑπτά
27And last of all, the woman died. 27ὕστερον δὲ πάντων ἀπέθανεν ἡ γυνή
28In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.” 28ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει οὖν τίνος τῶν ἑπτὰ ἔσται γυνή πάντες γὰρ ἔσχον αὐτήν
29Jesus replied, “You are mistaken [because] you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 29Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Πλανᾶσθε μὴ εἰδότες τὰς γραφὰς μηδὲ τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ Θεοῦ
30In the resurrection, [people] will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like [the] angels in heaven. 30ἐν γὰρ τῇ ἀναστάσει οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε γαμίζονται ἀλλ’ ὡς ἄγγελοι ‹θεοῦ› ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ εἰσιν
31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you: 31περὶ δὲ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῶν νεκρῶν οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑμῖν ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγοντος
32‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?’ He is not the God of [the] dead, but of [the] living.” 32Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰακώβ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ Θεὸς νεκρῶν ἀλλὰ ζώντων
33When the crowds heard [this], they were astonished at His teaching. 33Καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ὄχλοι ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ
34And [when] the Pharisees heard that [Jesus] had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together. 34Οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι ἀκούσαντες ὅτι ἐφίμωσεν τοὺς Σαδδουκαίους συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό
35One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question: 35καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν νομικὸς πειράζων αὐτόν
36“Teacher, which commandment [is the] greatest in the Law?” 36Διδάσκαλε ποία ἐντολὴ μεγάλη ἐν τῷ νόμῳ
37[Jesus] declared, “‘Love [the] Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 37Ὁ δὲ ἔφη αὐτῷ Ἀγαπήσεις κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ σου καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ψυχῇ σου καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ διανοίᾳ σου
38This is the first and greatest commandment. 38αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ μεγάλη καὶ πρώτη ἐντολή
39And [the] second [is] like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 39δευτέρα ‹δὲ› ὁμοία αὐτῇ Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν
40All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments.” 40ἐν ταύταις ταῖς δυσὶν ἐντολαῖς ὅλος ὁ νόμος κρέμαται καὶ οἱ προφῆται
41While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them: 41Συνηγμένων δὲ τῶν Φαρισαίων ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς
42“What {do} you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered. 42λέγων Τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ περὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ τίνος υἱός ἐστιν Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Τοῦ Δαυίδ
43[Jesus] said to them, “How then {does} David in [the] Spirit call Him Lord? [For] he says: 43Λέγει αὐτοῖς Πῶς οὖν Δαυὶδ ἐν Πνεύματι καλεῖ αὐτὸν Κύριον λέγων
44‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’ 44Εἶπεν Κύριος τῷ Κυρίῳ μου Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου Ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου Ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν σου
45So if David calls Him Lord, how can He be [David’s] son?” 45Εἰ οὖν Δαυὶδ καλεῖ αὐτὸν Κύριον πῶς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἐστιν
46No one was able to answer a word, [and] from that day [on] [no one] dared to question Him [any] further. 46Καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο ἀποκριθῆναι αὐτῷ λόγον οὐδὲ ἐτόλμησέν τις ἀπ’ ἐκείνης τῆς ἡμέρας ἐπερωτῆσαι αὐτὸν οὐκέτι
