Chapter 22: (Introduction to the Gospels, Coding Reference)
1And the Jesus, having replied, again said to them within analogies saying, 2The dominion of the universes is resembled a person, a king, whosoever made weddingsa to the son of him; 3and he authoritatively sent the slaves of him to have called the ones having had been invitedb into the weddingsa, and they were not desiring to have come.
4Again he authoritatively sent other slaves saying, Say you to the ones having had been invitedb, lo I ╓prepared╖ ┌have prepared┐ the morning meal of me, the bulls of me and the ones fattened having had been slaughtered, and {the ones} all {is} ready. Come into the weddingsa!
5Moreover the ones, having had no care for {the weddings}, went forth, the one indeed into the field, his own; the one moreover into the business of him, 6Moreover the ones remaining, having seized the slaves of him, they treated {them} despitefully, and they killed {them}.
7╓And╖ ┌Moreover┐ ┬the king, having heard,┬ ┌the king┐ ╥that, the king having heard,╥ was wroth, and he, having sent the armies of him, destroyed utterly those, the murderers, and he sat on fire the city of them.
8At that time he says to the slaves of him, the wedding is indeed ready; moreover the ones having had been invitedb were not worthy. 9Then proceed you upon the outlets of the ways; and { the ones} as many as you would find, inviteb you to the weddingsa.
10And those, the slaves, having gone forth into the ways, gathered {the ones} all as many as they found, {the ones} base and also {the ones} good, and the wedding was satiated of {the ones} reclining at table. 11Moreover the king the king, having entered to have viewed the ones having reclined at table, observed a person there not having had been clothed {into} a clothing of a wedding. 12And he says to him, Comrade, how did you enter here not having a clothing of a wedding?
Moreover the one was silenced. 13At that time the king says to the servants, Having bound feet and hands of him, ╓lift you him up, and╖ cast you him forth into the one darkness, the one outer; there the wailing and gnashing of teeth will be; 14for {the ones} invitedc are many, moreover {the ones} selected {are} few.
15At that time the Pharisees, having been proceeded, took counsel to the end that they might entrap him within a word. 16And they authoritatively send to him the adherents of them with the Herodians saying, Teacher, we know that you are truthful, and within truth you teach the way of the god, and it is not a care to you concerning no one, for you do not see into a face of humanity. 17Then say you to us, what think to you? Is it lawful to have given the poll tax to Caesar or not?
18Moreover the Jesus, having known experientially the knavery of them, said, Why are you contesting me, expounders? 19Exhibit you to me the current coin of the poll tax.
Moreover the ones brought forward to him a denarius. 20He says to them, The image of whom {is} this? And the inscription?
21They say, Of Caesar!
Then he says to them, Give you forth the ones of Caesar to Caesar and the ones of the god to the god.
22And they, having heard, marveled, and they, having dismissed him, went forth.
23Within that, the day, Sadducees, the ones saying not to be the standing up {of the dead}, came forward to him, and they interrogated him 24saying, Teacher! A Moses said if anyone might decease not having children, the brother of him will conjoin the woman of him, and he will stand up offspringd to the brother of him.
25Moreover seven brothers were beside us, and the one first, having married, ended life, and he, not having offspringd, dismissed the woman of him to the brother of him. 26Also in like manner with the one second and the one third until the ones seven, 27moreover afterwards of {the ones} all the woman also deceased, 28then within the standing up {of the dead} of whom of the ones seven will the woman be for {the ones} all have had her?
29Moreover the Jesus, having replied to them, said, You, not knowing the writings not even the power of the god, are being misled 30for within the standing up {of the dead} neither are they marrying nor are they being given ╓forth╖ in marriage, but they are as the universal messengers ╓of the god╖ within ╓a╖ ┌the┐ universe. 31Moreover concerning the standing up of the ones dead you did not discern the one having been said to you from under the god saying, 32I am the god of an Abraham and the god of an Isaac and the god of a Jacob, the god is not a god of {the ones} dead but of {the ones} living.
33And the crowds, having heard, were astounded upon the teaching of him.
34Moreover the Pharisees, having heard that he silenced the Sadducees, were gathered onto the same {place}, 35and one learned in the lawe out of them, interrogated him contesting ╓and saying╖, 36Teacher, which injunction {is} great within the lawe?
37╓The Jesus╖ ┌The one┐ was asserting to him, Love you affectionately a lord, the god of you within ╓a╖ ┌the┐ whole heart of you and within ╓a╖ ┌the┐ whole soul of you and within the whole intellectual capacity of you. 38This is ╓a first and great╖ ┌the great and first┐ injunction. 39Moreover a second similar to it, Love you the ones neighboring of you as yourself. 40Within these, the two injunctions, the whole lawe ╓and the prophets are hung╖ ┌is hung and the prophets┐.
41Moreover the Jesus, of the Pharisees having had been gathered, interrogated them 42saying, What think to you concerning the one anointed, of whom is he a son?
They say to him, Of a David!
43He says to them, Then how is a David within a spirit calling him a lord saying, 44╓The╖ ┌a┐ lord said to the lord of me be you seated out of {the ones} on the right hand of me until I would place the ones hatred of you, a footstool of feet of you. 45Then if a David is calling him a lord, how is he a son of him?
46No one was being able to have replied a word to him, nor did anyone have the courage from that, the day, to have interrogated him no longer.

aThe Greek is plural not singular as most translation have because our concept of a wedding is one man and one woman being united. The plural is consistent with other sayings by Jesus of each being invited to be yoked with him, bought as a bond slave, where he is each is who is united with him; thus I have retained the plural. If not footnoted, the Greek is singular.
bThe Greek is καλέω, kaleō meaning call, summon, invite, invoke. One is normally invited to a wedding so I have used invite here rather than call. Also I see invite as more friendly than call which to me has a harsher tone.
cThe Greek is κλητός, klētos, an adjective meaning invited, invoked, welcomed, called out.
dThe Greek is σπέρμα, sperma, meaning seed, germ, origin; however when applied to animals and humanity it is usually translated offspring as here.
eSince the Pharisees are interrogating regarding an injunction within the law; the law is the Mosaic law in this application.
