1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 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.
15 ¶ Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. 16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man : for thou regardest not the person of men. 17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. 20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21 They say unto him, Cæsar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s. 22 When they had heard these words , they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
23 ¶ The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now 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: 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27 And last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, 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. 33 And when the multitude heard this , they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 ¶ But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question , tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, 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.
41 ¶ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. 43 He saith unto them, 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? 46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
1 Un Jēzus sāka atkal uz tiem runēt lidzībās un sacīja:
2 „Debcsu valstība līdzinās ķēniņam, kas taisīja savam dēlam kāzas.
3 Un viņš izsūtīja savus kalpus aicināt viesus kāzās, bet tie negribēja nākt.
4 Viņš izsūtīja atkal citus kalpus un teica tiem: Sakait aicinātiem: Redzi, mans mielasts sataisīts, mani vērši un baroti lopi nokauti un viss sagatavots; nāciet kāzās.
5 Bet viņi to neievēroja un nogāja cits uz savu tīrumu un cits savās darīšanās.
6 Bet citi sagrāba viņa kalpus, tos apsmēja un nokāva.
7 Tad ķēniņš palika dusmīgs, viņš izsūtīja savu karaspēku un lika šos slepkavas nokaut un nodedzināja viņu pilsētu.
8 Tad viņš sacīja saviem kalpiem: Kāzas ir sataisītas, bet viesi nebija cienīgi.
9 Tāpēc eita uz lielceļiem un aiciniet kāzās, kādus vien atrodat.
10 Un kalpi izgāja uz lielceļiem un atveda kādus vien atrazdami, ļaunus un labus, un kāzu nams pildījās ar viesiem.
11 Tad ķēniņš iegāja viesus aplūkot un ieraudzīja tur vienu cilvēku, kas nebija ģērbies kāzu drēbēs.
12 Un viņš sacīja tam: Draūgs, kā tu esi šeit ienācis bez kāzu drēbēm? Bet tas palika kā mēms.
13 Tad ķēniņš sacīja saviem kalpiem: Sasieniet tam kājas un rokas un izmetiet to galējā tumsībā, tur būs raudāšana un zobu trīcēšana.
14 Jo daudz ir aicinātu, bet maz izredzētu.“
15 Tad farizēji aizgāja un apspriedās, kā varētu viņu pieķert kādā vārdā.
16 Un tie sūtīja savus mācekļus pie viņa ar ķēniņa Hēroda ļaudīm, un tie sacīja; „Mācītāj, mēs zinām, ka tu esi patiesīgs, māci Dieva ceļus patiesībā, jo tu neuzlūko cilvēka vaigu.
17 Tāpēc saki mums: Kā tev šķiet, vai ir atļauts ķeizaram dot nodevas, vai ne?“
18 Un Jēzus, nomanīdams viņu ļaunprātību, sacīja: „Kam jūs mani kārdināt, jūs liekuļi?
19 Parādait man nodevu naudu.“ Un tie atnesa viņam vienu denariju.
20 Un viņš sacīja tiem: „Kā attēls šis un uzraksts?“
21 Tie sacīja: „Ķeizara.“ Tad viņš tiem teica: „Tad dodiet ķeizaram, kas ķeizaram pieder, un Dievam, kas Dievam pieder.“
22 Un to dzirdēdami, tie brīnījās, atstāja vinu un aizgāja.
23 Tanī dienā nāca pie viņa saduķēji, kas saka, ka augšāmcelšanās neesot, un jautāja viņam,
24 Sacīdami: „Mācītāj, Mozus ir sacījis. Ja kas nomirst bez bērniem, tad viņa brālim būs precēt viņa sievu un celt savam brālim dzimumu.
25 Bet pie mums bija septiņi brāļi, pirmais apņēma sievu un nomira, un tā kā tam nebija bērnu, tad tas atstāja savu sievu savam brālim.
26 Tāpat arī otrs un trešais līdz septītajam.
27 Un beidzot pēc viņiem visiem arī sieva nomira.
28 Tad nu augšāmcelšanās dienā, kuram no septiņiem šī sieva piederēs? Jo viņa taču visu septiņu sieva bijusi.“
29 Bet Jēzus atbildēja un sacīja: „Jūs alojaties, nesaprazdami nedz rakstus, nedz Dieva spēku.
30 Jo augšāmcelšanās cēlienā ne precējās nedz tiek precēti, bet visi ir kā eņģeļi debesīs.
31 Vai tas jūs neesat lasījuši par miroņu augšāmcelšanos, ko Dievs jums teicis:
32 Es esmu Ābrahāma Dievs, īzāka Dievs un Jēkaba Dievs? Dievs nav mirušo, bet dzīvo Dievs.“
33 Un, kad ļaudis to dzirdēja, tie iztrūcinājās par viņa mācību.
34 Bet farizēji, dzirdēdami, ka viņš saduķējiem muti aizbāzis, sapulcējās,
35 Un viens no tiem, bauslības mācītājs, kārdinādams viņam jautāja un sacīja:
36 „Mācītāj, kufš ir augstākais bauslis bauslībā?“
37 Bet Jēzus tam sacīja: „Tev būs Dievu savu Kungu mīlēt no visas sirds un no visas dvēseles un no visa sava prāta.
38 Šis ir augstākais un pirmais bauslis.
39 Otrs tam līdzīgs ir: Tev būs savu tuvāku mīlēt kā sevi pašu.
40 Šinīs abos baušļos ir saņemta kopā visa bauslība un pravieši.“
41 Kad farizēji bija sapulcējušies, Jēzus tiem jautāja un sacīja.:
42 „Kā jums šķiet? Kristus, kā dēls viņš ir?“ Tie uz viņu saka: „Dāvida.“
43 Viņs tiem sacīja: „Kā tad Dāvids viņu garā sauc par Kungu, sacīdams:
44 Tas Kungs sacīja uz manu Kungu: Sēdies pie manas labās rokas, tiekāms es lieku tavus ienaidniekus par pameslu tavām kājām.
45 Ja nu Dāvids sauc viņu par kungu, kā tad tas var būt viņa dēls?“
46 Un neviens nevarēja viņam atbildēt neviena vārda, un no tās dienas arī neviens nedrīkstēja vairs viņam ko jautāt.
