9
Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.'
10
So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11
But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.
12
So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.
13
Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
14
For many are called, but few are chosen."
15
Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk.
16
And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not regard the person of men.
17
Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"
18
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, "Why do you test Me, you hypocrites?
19
Show Me the tax money." So they brought Him a denarius.
20
And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?"
21
They said to Him, "Caesar's." And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
22
When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.
23
The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,
24
saying: "Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
25
Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.
26
Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh.
27
Last of all the woman died also.
28
Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her."
29
Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
