And he was speechless.\n \n13\u00a0Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.\n \n14\u00a0For many are called, but few are chosen.\n \n15\u00a0Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.\n \n16\u00a0And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.\n \n17\u00a0Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?\n \n18\u00a0But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?\n \n19\u00a0Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.\n \n20\u00a0And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?\n \n21\u00a0They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.\n \n22\u00a0When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.\n \n23\u00a0The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,\n \n24\u00a0Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.\n \n25\u00a0Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:\n \n26\u00a0Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.\n \n27\u00a0And last of all the woman died also.\n \n28\u00a0Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.\n \n29\u00a0Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.\n \n30\u00a0For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.\n \n31\u00a0But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,\n \n32\u00a0I 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.\n \n33\u00a0And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.\n \n34\u00a0But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.\n \n35\u00a0Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,\n \n36\u00a0Master, which is the great commandment in the law?\n \n37\u00a0Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.\n \n38\u00a0This is the first and great commandment.\n \n39\u00a0And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.\n \n40\u00a0On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.\n \n41\u00a0While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,\n \n42\u00a0Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.\n \n43\u00a0He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,\n \n44\u00a0The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?\n \n45\u00a0If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?\n \n46\u00a0And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.","title":"King James Version: Matthew: Matthew Chapter 22","type":"page"}
