the guests, saw there a man not
clothed with a wedding garment; (12)and he says to him: Friend, how
camest thou in hither, not having a wedding garment? And he was
speechless. (13)Then the king said to the attendants: Bind him hand
and foot, and cast him forth into the outer darkness. There will be
the weeping, and the gnashing of teeth! (14)For many are called, but
few are chosen.
(15)Then the Pharisees went and took counsel, how they might ensnare
him with a word[22:15]. (16)And they send out to him their disciples,
with the Herodians, saying: Teacher, we know that thou art true, and
teachest the way of God in truth; neither carest thou for any one, for
thou regardest not the person of men. (17)Tell us, therefore, what
thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? (18)But
Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said: Why tempt ye me, hypocrites!
(19)Show me the tribute money. And they brought to him a
denary[22:19]. (20)And he says to them: Whose is this image, and the
inscription? (21)They say to him: Caesar's. Then says he to them;
Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God

brothers; and the first married and died, and having no seed left his
wife to his brother. (26)Likewise the second also, and the third, unto
the seventh. (27)And last of all the woman died also. (28)In the
resurrection therefore, of which of the seven shall she be wife? For
they all had her.
(29)Jesus answering said to them: Ye 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 concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that
which was spoken to 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 the multitudes, hearing it, were
astonished at his teaching.
(34)And the Pharisees, hearing that he had put the Sadducees to
silence, collected together; (35)and one of them, a lawyer, asked,
tempting him and saying: (36)Teacher,
