Gospel according to Matthew

But the king was angry, and he sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

"Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren't worthy.

Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.'

Those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.

But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn't have on wedding clothing,

and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.

Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.'

For many are called, but few chosen."

Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.

They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter who you teach, for you aren't partial to anyone.

Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, "Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

Show me the tax money." They brought to him a denarius.

He asked them, "Whose is this image and inscription?"

They said to him, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

When they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went away.

On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,

saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.'

Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no seed left his wife to his brother.

In like manner the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
