Matthew 22:7-33 The king, in anger, sent his troops, put those murderers to death, and set their city on fire.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ The king, in anger, sent his troops, put those murderers to death, and set their city on fire. ⁸ Then he said to his servants 'The banquet is prepared, but those who were invited were not worthy. ⁹ So go to the cross-roads, and invite everyone you find to the banquet.' ¹⁰ The servants went out into the roads and collected all the people whom they found, whether bad or good; and the bridal-hall was filled with guests. ¹¹ But, when the king went in to see his guests, he noticed there a man who had not put on a wedding-robe. ¹² So he said to him 'My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding-robe?' The man was speechless. ¹³ Then the king said to the attendants 'Tie him hand and foot, and 'put him out into the darkness' outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.' ¹⁴ For many are called, but few chosen." ¹⁵ Then the Pharisees went away and conferred together as to how they might lay a snare for Jesus in the course of conversation. ¹⁶ They sent their disciples, with the Herodians, to say to him: "Teacher, we know that you are an honest man, and that you teach the way of God honestly, and are not afraid of any one; for you pay no regard to a man's position. ¹⁷ Tell us, then, what you think. Are we right in paying taxes to the Emperor, or not?" ¹⁸ Perceiving their malice, Jesus answered: "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites? ¹⁹ Show me the coin with which the tax is paid." And, when they had brought him a florin, ²⁰ He asked: "Whose head and title are these?" ²¹ "The Emperor's," they answered: on which he said to them: "Then pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God." ²² They wondered at his answer, and left him alone and went away. ²³ That same day some Sadducees came up to Jesus, maintaining that there is no resurrection. Their question was this:-- ²⁴ "Teacher, Moses said--'Should a man die without children, the man's brother shall become the husband of the widow, and raise a family for his brother.' ²⁵ Now we had living among us seven brothers; of whom the eldest married and died, and, as he had no family, left his wife for his brother. ²⁶ The same thing happened to the second and the third brothers, and indeed to all the seven. ²⁷ The woman herself died last of all. ²⁸ At the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be out of the seven, all of them having had her?" ²⁹ "Your mistake," replied Jesus, "is due to your ignorance of the Scriptures, and of the power of God. ³⁰ For at the resurrection there is no marrying or being married, but all who rise are as angels in Heaven. ³¹ As to the resurrection of the dead, have you not read these words of God-- ³² 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead men, but of living." ³³ The crowds, who had been listening to him, were greatly struck with his teaching.
