\subsubsection{The Parable of the Wedding Banquet}
|
|
\VS{1} And answering \Iesous again spoke to them in parables saying:
|
|
\VS{2} The kingdom of heaven is like [a] man [who] [was] king,
|
|
who gave [a] wedding for his son.
|
|
\VS{3} And he sent his slaves to call those invited\footnote{literally ``called''}
|
|
to the wedding, and they did not want to come.
|
|
\VS{4} Again he sent other
|
|
slaves saying: Say to those invited\footnote{literally ``called''}: Behold my
|
|
noon meal is prepared, my bull and my fattlings are killed, and five [are] ready.
|
|
Come to the wedding.
|
|
\VS{5} But being unconcerned they left, one to his own
|
|
field, and one to his business.
|
|
\VS{6} The rest laying hold of his slaves
|
|
committed outrages and killed them.
|
|
\VS{7} And the king was angered and
|
|
sending his troops, he destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
|
|
\VS{8} Then he says to his slaves: The wedding is ready, but the
|
|
invited\footnote{literally ``called"} were not worthy.
|
|
\VS{9} Go therefore to
|
|
the street-corners\footnote{or ``crossroads"} or ``crossroads", and whoever
|
|
you find call to the wedding.
|
|
\VS{10} And going out into the road these
|
|
slaves gathered all they found, wicked\fnPoneros{} and good. And the wedding hall was
|
|
filled with guests.
|
|
\VS{11} And when the king came in to behold the guests
|
|
he saw there [a] man not clothed in wedding clothes.
|
|
\VS{12} And he says to him: Friend, how do you come here not having wedding
|
|
clothes? But he was silent.
|
|
\VS{13} Then the king said to the servants: Having bound him hand
|
|
and foot, throw him into the outermost darkness. There will there be wailing
|
|
and grinding\footnote{or ``gnashing,'' ``biting,'' ``snarling"} of teeth.
|
|
\VS{14} For many are called, but few [are] chosen.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Paying Taxes to Caesar}
|
|
\VS{15} Then when the Pharisees
|
|
departed they plotted how they may trap him in word.
|
|
\VS{16} And they sent
|
|
to him their disciples with those of \Herod saying: Teacher, we know you are
|
|
true and you teach the way\footnote{or ``road,'' ``path''} of God in truth, and
|
|
are anxious toward \negd{no one}, for you do not see the appearances
|
|
of men.
|
|
\VS{17} They said therefore to him: How does it seem to you, is it
|
|
permissible to pay Caesar's poll tax or not?
|
|
\VS{18} But \Iesous having
|
|
known\footnote{or ``knowing"} their perniciousness said to them: Why do you test
|
|
me, [You] hypocrites?
|
|
\VS{19} Show me the coin of the poll-tax. So they brought
|
|
him [a] denarius.
|
|
\VS{20} And he says to them: Whose is this image and
|
|
superscription?
|
|
\VS{21} They say: Caesar's. Then he says to them:
|
|
Render\footnote{or ``give back what is due,'' ``repay''} to Caesar the things
|
|
[that] [are] Caesar's, and to God the things [that] [are] God's.
|
|
\VS{22} And when they heard
|
|
[this] they were amazed, and going forth they left.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Marriage and the Resurrection}
|
|
\VS{23} In that day the Sadducees came to him, who say [there] is no resurrection,
|
|
and they questioned him
|
|
\VS{24} saying: Teacher, \Moses said: If anyone die
|
|
not having children, his brother shall marry\footnote{``marry as next of
|
|
kin''. The idea is that if a husband died childless, the wife would have children by his brother so she would have children to take care of her in her old age} his wife and raise up seed to his brother.
|
|
\VS{25} Now there were beside him seven brothers. And the first who married
|
|
came to his end, and not having seed left his wife to his brother.
|
|
\VS{26} Likewise also the second and the third until the seventh.
|
|
\VS{27} Last of all the wife died.
|
|
\VS{28} In the resurrection therefore whose of the seven
|
|
is the wife? For all had her.
|
|
\VS{29} But answering \Iesous said to them: You
|
|
are misled, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.
|
|
\VS{30} For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage,
|
|
\VS{31} but are as\footnote{or ``like"} the angels in heaven. But concerning the
|
|
resurrection of the dead, haven't you read the [thing] spoken to you from God
|
|
saying:
|
|
\VS{32} I am the God of \Abraam and the God of \Isaac and the God of
|
|
\Jacob\fnJacob{}? He is not God of the dead but of the zoe-living\fnZoe{}.
|
|
\VS{33} And hearing this the crowds were astounded at his teaching.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Greatest Commandment}
|
|
\VS{34} But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees,
|
|
they were gathered together,
|
|
\VS{35} And one of them, [an] expert on the Law,
|
|
testing him asked,
|
|
\VS{36} Teacher, what sort of commandment [is] great in the
|
|
Law\footnote{or ``of what sort is a great commandment?"}?
|
|
\VS{37} So he said
|
|
to him: You will agape-love the Lord your God in all your heart and in all
|
|
your psyche-life\fnPsyche{} and in all your mind.
|
|
\VS{38} This is the great and first commandment.
|
|
\VS{39} The second is like it: You will agape-love your
|
|
neighbor as yourself.
|
|
\VS{40} In these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Messiah: \David's Son and Lord}
|
|
\VS{41} Now when the Pharisees gathered together \Iesous questioned them
|
|
\VS{42} saying: How does it seem to you concerning the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One]? Whose son is
|
|
he? They say to him: \David's.
|
|
\VS{43} He says to them: How therefore does
|
|
\David in the spirit call him Lord saying\footnote{Ps.110:1}
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
\VS{44} The Lord said to my Lord: \\
|
|
Be seating yourself at my right hand \\
|
|
Until I place your enemies beneath your feet?
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{45} If therefore \David calls him Lord, how is he his son?
|
|
\VS{46} And no
|
|
one was able to be answering him [a] word nor did any dare from that day to ask
|
|
him anything.
