The chapter consists of four distinct episodes: the Parable of the Wedding Banquet (vv. 1\u201314), in which a king's invited guests refuse or murder his servants and are replaced by strangers from the streets, ending with the notable saying \"many are called, but few are chosen\"; a controversy over paying taxes to Caesar (vv. 15\u201322), resolved by Jesus's memorable \"render unto Caesar\" reply; a dispute with Sadducees over the resurrection (vv. 23\u201333), in which Jesus argues that the resurrected live \"as angels\" and that God's self-identification as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob proves the dead are raised; and finally, Jesus's double-commandment summary of the Law (love God, love neighbor) followed by his counter-question about the Messiah's Davidic descent that silences all opponents. The format is a scholarly study tool rather than a devotional text, with the KJV column's embedded Strong's numbers enabling word-level comparison between the English translation and its Greek source. The chapter as a whole presents Jesus successively besting Pharisees, Herodians, and Sadducees in a series of trap-questions, culminating in Jesus posing an unanswerable riddle that ends public debate entirely.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Matthew: Matthew 22","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":2240}
