(verse text not analyzed on this site — narration/disciples)

2

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

3

And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

4

Again, 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.

5

But they made light of it , and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

6

And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them .

7

But when the king heard thereof , he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

8

Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

9

Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

10

So 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.

11

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

12

And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

13

Then 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.

14

For many are called, but few [are] chosen.

Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

19

Shew me the tribute money.

Whose is this image and superscription?

21

Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

29

Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

30

For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

31

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

32

I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

37

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38

This is the first and great commandment.

39

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

42

What think ye of Christ? whose son is he?

43

How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

44

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

45

If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
