1And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them, saying,
2The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
3and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come.
4Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.
5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
6and the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy.
9Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast.
10And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.
11But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment:
12and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.
13Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
15Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might ensnare him in `his' talk.
16And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the person of men.
17Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why make ye trial of me, ye hypocrites?
19Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a denarius.
20And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
22And when they heard it, they marvelled, and left him, and went away.
23On that day there came to him Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him,
24saying, Teacher, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his brother;
26in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
