And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”

Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying,

But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered themselves together.

The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

They *said to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He *said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”

Then the Pharisees went and plotted together how they might trap Him in what He said.

But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God.

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

asking, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother.’

Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother;

so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh.

When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God:

Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question:

Last of all, the woman died.

“What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?” They *said to Him, “The son of David.”

In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.”

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

On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him,

For many are called, but few are chosen.”

On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”

“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.

And they *sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any.

Again he sent out other slaves saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast.”’

One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him,

Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

“But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes,

Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to give a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?”

This is the great and foremost commandment.

‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies beneath Your feet”’?

He *said to them, “Then how does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying,

And hearing this, they were amazed, and leaving Him, they went away.

and he *said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless.

But the king was enraged, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire.

Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests.

and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them.

And he sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come.

But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?

But they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own farm, another to his business,

And He *said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?”

Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.’

If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his son?”

Show Me the coin used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.

Then he *said to his slaves, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

No one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him another question.
