1 And <2532> Jesus <2424> answered <611> (5679) and spake <2036> (5627) unto them <846> again <3825> by <1722> parables <3850>, and said <3004> (5723),
2 The kingdom <932> of heaven <3772> is like <3666> (5681) unto a certain <444> king <935>, which <3748> made <4160> (5656) a marriage <1062> for his <846> son <5207>,
3 And <2532> sent forth <649> (5656) his <846> servants <1401> to call <2564> (5658) them that were bidden <2564> (5772) to <1519> the wedding <1062>: and <2532> they would <2309> (5707) not <3756> come <2064> (5629).
4 Again <3825>, he sent forth <649> (5656) other <243> servants <1401>, saying <3004> (5723) , Tell <2036> (5628) them which are bidden <2564> (5772), Behold <2400> (5628), I have prepared <2090> (5656) my <3450> dinner <712>: my <3450> oxen <5022> and <2532> my fatlings <4619> are killed <2380> (5772), and <2532> all things <3956> are ready <2092>: come <1205> (5773) unto <1519> the marriage <1062>.
5 But <1161> they made light of <272> (5660) it, and went their ways <565> (5627), one <3303> to <1519> his <2398> farm <68>, another <1161> to <1519> his <846> merchandise <1711>:
6 And <1161> the remnant <3062> took <2902> (5660) his <846> servants <1401>, and entreated them spitefully <5195> (5656), and <2532> slew <615> (5656) them.
7 But <1161> when the king <935> heard <191> (5660) thereof, he was wroth <3710> (5681): and <2532> he sent forth <3992> (5660) his <846> armies <4753>, and destroyed <622> (5656) those <1565> murderers <5406>, and <2532> burned up <1714> (5656) their <846> city <4172>.
8 Then <5119> saith he <3004> (5719) to his <846> servants <1401>, <3303> The wedding <1062> is <2076> (5748) ready <2092>, but <1161> they which were bidden <2564> (5772) were <2258> (5713) not <3756> worthy <514>.
9 Go ye <4198> (5737) therefore <3767> into <1909> the highways <1327> <3598>, and <2532> as many as <3745> <302> ye shall find <2147> (5632), bid <2564> (5657) to <1519> the marriage <1062> .
10 So <2532> those <1565> servants <1401> went out <1831> (5631) into <1519> the highways <3598> , and gathered together <4863> (5627) all <3956> as many as <3745> they found <2147> (5627), both <5037> bad <4190> and <2532> good <18>: and <2532> the wedding <1062> was furnished <4130> (5681) with guests <345> (5740).
11 And <1161> when <1525> <0> the king <935> came in <1525> (5631) to see <2300> (5664) the guests <345> (5740), he saw <1492> (5627) there <1563> a man <444> which had <1746> <0> not <3756> on <1746> (5765) a wedding <1062> garment <1742>:
12 And <2532> he saith <3004> (5719) unto him <846>, Friend <2083>, how <4459> camest thou <1525> (5627) in hither <5602> not <3361> having <2192> (5723) a wedding <1062> garment <1742>? And <1161> he was speechless <5392> (5681).
13 Then <5119> said <2036> (5627) the king <935> to the servants <1249>, Bind <1210> (5660) him <846> hand <5495> and <2532> foot <4228>, and take <142> <0> him <846> away <142> (5657) , and <2532> cast <1544> (5628) him into <1519> outer <1857> darkness <4655>; there <1563> shall be <2071> (5704) weeping <2805> and <2532> gnashing <1030> of teeth <3599>.
14 For <1063> many <4183> are <1526> (5748) called <2822>, but <1161> few <3641> are chosen <1588>.
This has nothing to do with predestination or election.
- CALLED

15 Then <5119> went <4198> (5679) the Pharisees <5330>, and took <2983> (5627) counsel <4824> how <3704> they might entangle <3802> (5661) him <846> in <1722> his talk <3056>.
16 And <2532> they sent out <649> (5719) unto him <846> their <846> disciples <3101> with <3326> the Herodians <2265>, saying <3004> (5723), Master <1320>, we know <1492> (5758) that <3754> thou art <1488> (5748) true <227>, and <2532> teachest <1321> (5719) the way <3598> of God <2316> in <1722> truth <225>, <2532> neither <3756> carest <3199> (5719) thou <4671> for <4012> any <3762> man : for <1063> thou regardest <991> (5719) not <1519> <3756> the person <4383> of men <444>.
17 Tell <2036> (5628) us <2254> therefore <3767>, What <5101> thinkest <1380> (5719) thou <4671>? Is it lawful <1832> (5748) to give <1325> (5629) tribute <2778> unto Caesar <2541>, or <2228> not <3756>?
18 But <1161> Jesus <2424> perceived <1097> (5631) their <846> wickedness <4189>, and said <2036> (5627), Why <5101> tempt ye <3985> (5719) me <3165>, ye hypocrites <5273>?
19 Shew <1925> (5657) me <3427> the tribute <2778> money <3546>. And <1161> they brought <4374> (5656) unto him <846> a penny <1220>.
20 And <2532> he saith <3004> (5719) unto them <846>, Whose <5101> is this <3778> image <1504> and <2532> superscription <1923>?
21 They say <3004> (5719) unto him <846>, Caesar#s <2541>. Then <5119> saith he <3004> (5719) unto them <846>, Render <591> (5628) therefore <3767> unto Caesar <2541> the things which are <3588> Caesar#s <2541> ; and <2532> unto God <2316> the things that are <3588> God#s <2316>.
22 When <2532> they had heard <191> (5660) these words, they marvelled <2296> (5656), and <2532> left <863> (5631) him <846>, and went their way <565> (5627).
23 The same <1722> <1565> day <2250> came <4334> (5656) to him <846> the Sadducees <4523> , which <3588> say <3004> (5723) that there is <1511> (5750) no <3361> resurrection <386>, and <2532> asked <1905> (5656) him <846>,
24 Saying <3004> (5723), Master <1320>, Moses <3475> said <2036> (5627), If <1437> a man <5100> die <599> (5632), having <2192> (5723) no <3361> children <5043>, his <846> brother <80> shall marry <1918> (5692) his <846> wife <1135>, and <2532> raise up <450> (5692) seed <4690> unto his <846> brother <80>.
25 Now <1161> there were <2258> (5713) with <3844> us <2254> seven <2033> brethren <80> : and <2532> the first <4413>, when he had married a wife <1060> (5660), deceased <5053> (5656), and <2532>, having <2192> (5723) no <3361> issue <4690>, left <863> (5656) his <846> wife <1135> unto his <846> brother <80>:
26 Likewise <3668> the second <1208> also <2532>, and <2532> the third <5154>, unto <2193> the seventh <2033>.
27 And <1161> last <5305> of all <3956> the woman <1135> died <599> (5627) also <2532>.
28 Therefore <3767> in <1722> the resurrection <386> whose <5101> wife <1135> shall she be <2071> (5704) of the seven <2033>? for <1063> they all <3956> had <2192> (5627) her <846>.
29 Jesus <2424> answered <611> (5679) and <1161> said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>, Ye do err <4105> (5744), not <3361> knowing <1492> (5761) the scriptures <1124>, nor <3366> the power <1411> of God <2316>.
The two things that are essential to the spiritual life - the Scriptires and the anointing of the Holy Spirit

30 For <1063> in <1722> the resurrection <386> they neither <3777> marry <1060> (5719), nor <3777> are given in marriage <1547> (5743), but <235> are <1526> (5748) as <5613> the angels <32> of God <2316> in <1722> heaven <3772>.
- ANGELS
31 But <1161> as touching <4012> the resurrection <386> of the dead <3498>, have ye <314> <0> not <3756> read <314> (5627) that which <3588> was spoken <4483> (5685) unto you <5213> by <5259> God <2316>, saying <3004> (5723),
32 I <1473> am <1510> (5748) the God <2316> of Abraham <11>, and <2532> the God <2316> of Isaac <2464>, and <2532> the God <2316> of Jacob <2384>? God <2316> is <2076> (5748) not <3756> the God <2316> of the dead <3498>, but <235> of the living <2198> (5723).
These men were dead in their bodies but alive in the Spirit.

33 And <2532> when the multitude <3793> heard <191> (5660) this, they were astonished <1605> (5712) at <1909> his <846> doctrine <1322>.
34 But <1161> when the Pharisees <5330> had heard <191> (5660) that <3754> he had put <5392> <0> the Sadducees <4523> to silence <5392> (5656), they were gathered together <4863> (5681) <1909> <846>.
35 Then <2532> one <1520> of <1537> them <846>, which was a lawyer <3544>, asked <1905> (5656) him a question, tempting <3985> (5723) him <846>, and <2532> saying <3004> (5723),
36 Master <1320>, which <4169> is the great <3173> commandment <1785> in <1722> the law <3551>?
37 <1161> Jesus <2424> said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>, Thou shalt love <25> (5692) the Lord <2962> thy <4675> God <2316> with <1722> all <3650> thy <4675> heart <2588>, and <2532> with <1722> all <3650> thy <4675> soul <5590>, and <2532> with <1722> all <3650> thy <4675> mind <1271> .
38 This <3778> is <2076> (5748) the first <4413> and <2532> great <3173> commandment <1785>.
39 And <1161> the second <1208> is like <3664> unto it <846> (5625) <3778>, Thou shalt love <25> (5692) thy <4675> neighbour <4139> as <5613> thyself <4572>.
40 On <1722> these <5025> two <1417> commandments <1785> hang <2910> (5743) all <3650> the law <3551> and <2532> the prophets <4396>.
41 While <1161> the Pharisees <5330> were gathered together <4863> (5772), Jesus <2424> asked <1905> (5656) them <846>,
42 Saying <3004> (5723), What <5101> think <1380> (5719) ye <5213> of <4012> Christ <5547>? whose <5101> son <5207> is he <2076> (5748)? They say <3004> (5719) unto him <846>, The Son of David <1138>.
43 He saith <3004> (5719) unto them <846>, How <4459> then <3767> doth David <1138> in <1722> spirit <4151> call <2564> (5719) him <846> Lord <2962>, saying <3004> (5723),
44 The LORD <2962> said <2036> (5627) unto my <3450> Lord <2962>, Sit thou <2521> (5737) on <1537> my <3450> right hand <1188>, till <2193> <302> I make <5087> (5632) thine <4675> enemies <2190> thy <4675> footstool <5286> <4228>?
45 If <1487> David <1138> then <3767> call <2564> (5719) him <846> Lord <2962>, how <4459> is he <2076> (5748) his <846> son <5207>?
46 And <2532> no man <3762> was able <1410> (5711) to answer <611> (5677) him <846> a word <3056>, neither <3761> durst <5111> (5656) any <5100> man from <575> that <1565> day <2250> forth ask <1905> (5658) him <846> any more <3765> questions.
