22:1 et respondens Iesus dixit iterum        1.  And Jesus answered and spake unto
in parabolis eis dicens                      them again by parables, and said,
                                             
22:2 simile factum est regnum caelorum       2.  The kingdom of heaven is like unto
homini regi qui fecit nuptias filio suo      a certain king, which made a marriage
                                             for his son,
                                             
22:3 et misit servos suos vocare             3.  And sent forth his servants to call
invitatos ad nuptias et nolebant venire      them that were bidden to the wedding:
                                             and they would not come.
                                             
22:4 iterum misit alios servos dicens        4.  Again, he sent forth other
dicite invitatis ecce prandium meum          servants, saying, Tell them which are
paravi tauri mei et altilia occisa et        bidden, Behold, I have prepared my
omnia parata venite ad nuptias               dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are
                                             killed, and all things are ready: come
                                             unto the marriage.
                                             
22:5 illi autem neglexerunt et abierunt      5.  But they made light of it, and went
alius in villam suam alius vero ad           their ways, one to his farm, another to
negotiationem suam                           his merchandise:
                                             
22:6 reliqui vero tenuerunt servos eius      6.  And the remnant took his servants,
et contumelia adfectos occiderunt            and entreated them spitefully, and slew
                                             them.
                                             
22:7 rex autem cum audisset iratus est       7.  But when the king heard thereof, he
et missis exercitibus suis perdidit          was wroth: and he sent forth his
homicidas illos et civitatem illorum         armies, and destroyed those murderers,
succendit                                    and burned up their city.
                                             
22:8 tunc ait servis suis nuptiae            8.  Then saith he to his servants, The
quidem paratae sunt sed qui invitati         wedding is ready, but they which were
erant non fuerunt digni                      bidden were not worthy.
                                             
22:9 ite ergo ad exitus viarum et            9.  Go ye therefore into the highways,
quoscumque inveneritis vocate ad nuptias     and as many as ye shall find, bid to
                                             the marriage.
                                             
22:10 et egressi servi eius in vias          10.  So those servants went out into
congregaverunt omnes quos invenerunt         the highways, and gathered together all
malos et bonos et impletae sunt nuptiae      as many as they found, both bad and
discumbentium                                good: and the wedding was furnished
                                             with guests.
                                             
22:11 intravit autem rex ut videret          11.  And when the king came in to see
discumbentes et vidit ibi hominem non        the guests, he saw there a man which
vestitum veste nuptiali                      had not on a wedding garment:
                                             
22:12 et ait illi amice quomodo huc          12.  And he saith unto him, Friend, how
intrasti non habens vestem nuptialem at      camest thou in hither not having a
ille obmutuit                                wedding garment? And he was speechless.
                                             
22:13 tunc dixit rex ministris ligatis       13.  Then said the king to the
pedibus eius et manibus mittite eum in       servants, Bind him hand and foot, and
tenebras exteriores ibi erit fletus et       take him away, and cast him into outer
stridor dentium                              darkness, there shall be weeping and
                                             gnashing of teeth.
                                             
22:14 multi autem sunt vocati pauci          14.  For many are called, but few are
vero electi                                  chosen.
                                             
22:15 tunc abeuntes Pharisaei consilium      15.  Then went the Pharisees, and took
inierunt ut caperent eum in sermone          counsel how they might entangle him in
                                             his talk.
                                             
22:16 et mittunt ei discipulos suos cum      16.  And they sent out unto him their
Herodianis dicentes magister scimus          disciples with the Herodians, saying,
quia verax es et viam Dei in veritate        Master, we know that thou art true, and
doces et non est tibi cura de aliquo         teachest the way of God in truth,
non enim respicis personam hominum           neither carest thou for any man: for
                                             thou regardest not the person of men.
                                             
22:17 dic ergo nobis quid tibi videatur      17.  Tell us therefore, What thinkest
licet censum dare Caesari an non             thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto
                                             Caesar, or not?
                                             
22:18 cognita autem Iesus nequitia           18.  But Jesus perceived their
eorum ait quid me temptatis hypocritae       wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me,
                                             ye hypocrites?
                                             
22:19 ostendite mihi nomisma census at       19.  Shew me the tribute money. And
illi obtulerunt ei denarium                  they brought unto him a penny.
                                             
22:20 et ait illis Iesus cuius est           20.  And he saith unto them, Whose is
imago haec et suprascriptio                  this image and superscription?
                                             
22:21 dicunt ei Caesaris tunc ait illis      21.  They say unto him, Caesar's. Then
reddite ergo quae sunt Caesaris Caesari      saith he unto them, Render therefore
et quae sunt Dei Deo                         unto Caesar the things which are
                                             Caesar's; and unto God the things that
                                             are God's.
                                             
22:22 et audientes mirati sunt et            22.  When they had heard these words,
relicto eo abierunt                          they marvelled, and left him, and went
                                             their way.
                                             
22:23 in illo die accesserunt ad eum         23.  The same day came to him the
Sadducaei qui dicunt non esse                Sadducees, which say that there is no
resurrectionem et interrogaverunt eum        resurrection, and asked him,
                                             
22:24 dicentes magister Moses dixit si       24.  Saying, Master, Moses said, If a
quis mortuus fuerit non habens filium        man die, having no children, his
ut ducat frater eius uxorem illius et        brother shall marry his wife, and raise
suscitet semen fratri suo                    up seed unto his brother.
                                             
22:25 erant autem apud nos septem            25.  Now there were with us seven
fratres et primus uxore ducta defunctus      brethren: and the first, when he had
est et non habens semen reliquit uxorem      married a wife, deceased, and, having
suam fratri suo                              no issue, left his wife unto his
                                             brother:
                                             
22:26 similiter secundus et tertius          26.  Likewise the second also, and the
usque ad septimum                            third, unto the seventh.
                                             
22:27 novissime autem omnium et mulier       27.  And last of all the woman died
defuncta est                                 also.
                                             
22:28 in resurrectione ergo cuius erit       28.  Therefore in the resurrection
de septem uxor omnes enim habuerunt eam      whose wife shall she be of the seven?
                                             for they all had her.
                                             
22:29 respondens autem Iesus ait illis       29.  Jesus answered and said unto them,
erratis nescientes scripturas neque          Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures,
virtutem Dei                                 nor the power of God.
                                             
22:30 in resurrectione enim neque            30.  For in the resurrection they
nubent neque nubentur sed sunt sicut         neither marry, nor are given in
angeli Dei in caelo                          marriage, but are as the angels of God
                                             in heaven.
                                             
22:31 de resurrectione autem mortuorum       31.  But as touching the resurrection
non legistis quod dictum est a Deo           of the dead, have ye not read that
dicente vobis                                which was spoken unto you by God,
                                             saying,
                                             
22:32 ego sum Deus Abraham et Deus           32.  I am the God of Abraham, and the
Isaac et Deus Iacob non est Deus             God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God
mortuorum sed viventium                      is not the God of the dead, but of the
                                             living.
                                             
22:33 et audientes turbae mirabantur in      33.  And when the multitude heard this,
doctrina eius                                they were astonished at his doctrine.
                                             
22:34 Pharisaei autem audientes quod         34.  But when the Pharisees had heard
silentium inposuisset Sadducaeis             that he had put the Sadducees to
convenerunt in unum                          silence, they were gathered together.
                                             
22:35 et interrogavit eum unus ex eis        35.  Then one of them, which was a
legis doctor temptans eum                    lawyer, asked him a question, tempting
                                             him, and saying,
                                             
22:36 magister quod est mandatum magnum      36.  Master, which is the great
in lege                                      commandment in the law?
                                             
22:37 ait illi Iesus diliges Dominum         37.  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt
Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo et in tota       love the Lord thy God with all thy
anima tua et in tota mente tua               heart, and with all thy soul, and with
                                             all thy mind.
                                             
22:38 hoc est maximum et primum mandatum     38.  This is the first and great
                                             commandment.
                                             
22:39 secundum autem simile est huic         39.  And the second is like unto it,
diliges proximum tuum sicut te ipsum         Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
                                             thyself.
                                             
22:40 in his duobus mandatis universa        40.  On these two commandments hang all
lex pendet et prophetae                      the law and the prophets.
                                             
22:41 congregatis autem Pharisaeis           41.  While the Pharisees were gathered
interrogavit eos Iesus                       together, Jesus asked them,
                                             
22:42 dicens quid vobis videtur de           42.  Saying, What think ye of Christ?
Christo cuius filius est dicunt ei David     whose son is he? They say unto him, The
                                             son of David.
                                             
22:43 ait illis quomodo ergo David in        43.  He saith unto them, How then doth
spiritu vocat eum Dominum dicens             David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
                                             
22:44 dixit Dominus Domino meo sede a        44.  The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit
dextris meis donec ponam inimicos tuos       thou on my right hand, till I make
scabillum pedum tuorum                       thine enemies thy footstool?
                                             
22:45 si ergo David vocat eum Dominum        45.  If David then call him Lord, how
quomodo filius eius est                      is he his son?
                                             
22:46 et nemo poterat respondere ei          46.  And no man was able to answer him
verbum neque ausus fuit quisquam ex          a word, neither durst any man from that
illa die eum amplius interrogare             day forth ask him any more questions.
