27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 28 T But what think you? A certain u man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in my vineyard.

42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The g stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing,and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom h of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation i bringing forth the fruits thereof.

44 And whosoever shall fall k on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which z planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:

31 And when the time of the fruit k Is.8.14,15. drew near, he sent his servants at He.2.2.3. to the husbandmen, that they m Lu.7.16. might receive the fruits of it.

35 And b the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.

37 But last of all, he sent unto them his son, saying, They will

reverence my son.

38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; c come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.

39 And they d caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

40 When the Lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He will

CHAPTER XXII. 1 The marriage of the king's son. 9 The calling of the Gentiles. 11 The wedding garment. 21 Tribute ought to be paid to Cesar. 23 Christ silenceth the Sadducees.

AND Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

2 The a kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a b marriage for his son,

3 And c sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 4 Again, he sent forth other servants, Saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready come unto the marriage.

5 But they made light d of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated e them spitefully, and slew them.

7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed f those murderers, and burned up their

9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all, h as many as they found,

The calling of the Gentiles.

The resurrection proved. 35 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels w of God in heaven.

MATTHEW, XXIII. both bad and good: and the wed- A. D. 33. ding was furnished with guests. 11 T And when the king came in i to i see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding k garment:

12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

15 T Then p went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

16 And 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.

17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cesar, or not?

18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

19 Show me the tribute-money. And they brought unto him a 1 penny.

22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

23 T The s same day came to him the Sadducees, which t say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If u a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

25 Now 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:

26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the 3 seventh.

31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto 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 when the multitude heard this, they were astonishedy at his doctrine.

34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

35 Then z one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law.

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou a shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, b Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments c hang all the law and the prophets. 41 T While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

42 Saying, What d think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.

43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call hime Lord, saying,

44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

46 Andƒ no man was able to answer him a word; neither g durst any man, (from that day forth,) ask him any more questions.

24 Ye blind guides! which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! foru ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

26 Thou blind Pharisee! cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

27 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like untov whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

29 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killedw the prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

33 Ye serpents, ye generation y of vipers! how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall killz and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge a in your synagogues, and persecute them from city b to city:

35 That c upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel d unto the blood of Zacharias e son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. 36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

37 Of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered'g thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

23 But he that received seed into

which also beareth fruit, s and u 1Pe.1.23.
bringeth forth, some an hundred- v 1Ti.5.24.
fold, some sixty, some thirty.

24 Another t parable put he w Mal.4.1.
forth unto them, saying, The king-x Lu.3.17.
dom of heaven is likened unto a
man which sowed good u seed in
his field:

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then, appeared the tares also.

27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that wel go and gather them up?

31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a y grain of mustard-seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, z so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven o Pr.2.4,5. is like unto leaven, which a woman p Phi.3.7,8. took, and hid in three measures q Is.55.1. of meal, till the whole was leavened.

31 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; a and without a parable spake he not unto them:

seed, leaven, etc.

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him," saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

38 The field is the world; d the good seed are the children of the kingdom; e but the tares are the children of the wicked ƒ one;

39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; 9 and the reapers are the angels. h

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; i so shall it be in the end of this world. 41 The Son of man shall send a forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all 2 things that offend, and k them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there m shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine n forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

44 T Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure o hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth p all that he hath, and buyeth q that field. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchantman, seeking goodly pearls:

46 Who, when he had found one r pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered s of every kind:

48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and t sever the wicked from among the just,

50 And u shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things! They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

52 Then said he unto them, Therefore, every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out v of his treasure things new and old. w

14 And Jesus went forth, and i saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion k toward them, and he healed their sick.

15 T And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

18 He said, Bring them hither to

me.

19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves and the two fishes, and, looking up to heaven. he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

20 And they did all eat, and were filled and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.Z

21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
