Matthew 22

And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:

Et respondens Jesus, dixit iterum in parabolis eis, dicens:

Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς πάλιν εἶπεν ἐν παραβολαῖς αὐτοῖς λέγων:

The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king who made a marriage for his son.

Simile factum est regnum cælorum homini regi, qui fecit nuptias filio suo.

ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ βασιλεῖ, ὅστις ἐποίησεν γάμους τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ.

And he sent his servants to call them that were invited to the marriage: and they would not come.

Et misit servos suos vocare invitatos ad nuptias, et nolebant venire.

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ καλέσαι τοὺς κεκλημένους εἰς τοὺς γάμους, καὶ οὐκ ἤθελον ἐλθεῖν.

Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come ye to the marriage.

Iterum misit alios servos, dicens : Dicite invitatis : Ecce prandium meum paravi, tauri mei et altilia occisa sunt, et omnia parata : venite ad nuptias.

πάλιν ἀπέστειλεν ἄλλους δούλους λέγων: εἴπατε τοῖς κεκλημένοις: ἰδοὺ τὸ ἄριστόν μου ἡτοίμακα, οἱ ταῦροί μου καὶ τὰ σιτιστὰ τεθυμένα, καὶ πάντα ἕτοιμα: δεῦτε εἰς τοὺς γάμους.

But they neglected and went their ways, one to his farm and another to his merchandise.

Illi autem neglexerunt : et abierunt, alius in villam suam, alius vero ad negotiationem suam:

οἱ δὲ ἀμελήσαντες ἀπῆλθον, ὃς μὲν εἰς τὸν ἴδιον ἀγρόν, ὃς δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν ἐμπορίαν αὐτοῦ:

And the rest laid hands on his servants and, having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.

reliqui vero tenuerunt servos ejus, et contumeliis affectos occiderunt.

οἱ δὲ λοιποὶ κρατήσαντες τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ ὕβρισαν καὶ ἀπέκτειναν.

But when the king had heard of it, he was angry: and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers and burnt their city.

Rex autem cum audisset, iratus est : et missis exercitibus suis, perdidit homicidas illos, et civitatem illorum succendit.

ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς ὠργίσθη, καὶ πέμψας τὰ στρατεύματα αὐτοῦ ἀπώλεσεν τοὺς φονεῖς ἐκείνους καὶ τὴν πόλιν αὐτῶν ἐνέπρησεν.

Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.

Tunc ait servis suis : Nuptiæ quidem paratæ sunt, sed qui invitati erant, non fuerunt digni:

τότε λέγει τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ: ὁ μὲν γάμος ἕτοιμός ἐστιν, οἱ δὲ κεκλημένοι οὐκ ἦσαν ἄξιοι:

Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.

ite ergo ad exitus viarum, et quoscumque inveneritis, vocate ad nuptias.

πορεύεσθε οὖν ἐπὶ τὰς διεξόδους τῶν ὁδῶν, καὶ ὅσους ἐὰν εὕρητε καλέσατε εἰς τοὺς γάμους.

And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests.

Et egressi servi ejus in vias, congregaverunt omnes quos invenerunt, malos et bonos : et impletæ sunt nuptiæ discumbentium.

καὶ ἐξελθόντες οἱ δοῦλοι ἐκεῖνοι εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς συνήγαγον πάντας οὓς εὗρον, πονηρούς τε καὶ ἀγαθούς, καὶ ἐπλήσθη ὁ νυμφὼν ἀνακειμένων.

And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.

Intravit autem rex ut videret discumbentes, et vidit ibi hominem non vestitum veste nuptiali.

εἰσελθὼν δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς θεάσασθαι τοὺς ἀνακειμένους εἶδεν ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπον οὐκ ἐνδεδυμένον ἔνδυμα γάμου:

And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having on a wedding garment? But he was silent.

Et ait illi : Amice, quomodo huc intrasti non habens vestem nuptialem? At ille obmutuit.

καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ: ἑταῖρε, πῶς εἰσῆλθες ὧδε μὴ ἔχων ἔνδυμα γάμου; ὁ δὲ ἐφιμώθη.

Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Tunc dicit rex ministris : Ligatis manibus et pedibus ejus, mittite eum in tenebras exteriores : ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.

τότε ὁ βασιλεὺς εἶπεν τοῖς διακόνοις: δήσαντες αὐτοῦ πόδας καὶ χεῖρας ἐκβάλετε αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον: ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.

For many are called, but few are chosen.

Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi.

πολλοὶ γάρ εἰσιν κλητοὶ ὀλίγοι δὲ ἐκλεκτοί.

Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech.

Tunc abeuntes pharisæi, consilium inierunt ut caperent eum in sermone.

Τότε πορευθέντες οἱ Φαρισαῖοι συμβούλιον ἔλαβον ὅπως αὐτὸν παγιδεύσωσιν ἐν λόγῳ.

And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker and teachest the way of God in truth. Neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men.

Et mittunt ei discipulos suos cum Herodianis, dicentes : Magister, scimus quia verax es, et viam Dei in veritate doces, et non est tibi cura de aliquo : non enim respicis personam hominum:

καὶ ἀποστέλλουσιν αὐτῷ τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτῶν μετὰ τῶν Ἡρῳδιανῶν λέγοντας: διδάσκαλε, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀληθὴς εἶ καὶ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ διδάσκεις, καὶ οὐ μέλει σοι περὶ οὐδενός, οὐ γὰρ βλέπεις εἰς πρόσωπον ἀνθρώπων:

Tell us therefore what dost thou think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

dic ergo nobis quid tibi videtur, licet censum dare Cæsari, an non?

εἰπὸν οὖν ἡμῖν, τί σοι δοκεῖ: ἔξεστιν δοῦναι κῆνσον Καίσαρι ἢ οὔ;

But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites?

Cognita autem Jesus nequitia eorum, ait : Quid me tentatis, hypocritæ?

γνοὺς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὴν πονηρίαν αὐτῶν εἶπεν: τί με πειράζετε, ὑποκριταί;

Show me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny.

ostendite mihi numisma census. At illi obtulerunt ei denarium.

ἐπιδείξατέ μοι τὸ νόμισμα τοῦ κήνσου. οἱ δὲ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ δηνάριον.

And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?

Et ait illis Jesus : Cujus est imago hæc, et superscriptio?

καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς: Τίνος ἡ εἰκὼν αὕτη καὶ ἡ ἐπιγραφή;

They say to him: Caesar’s. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God, the things that are God’s.

Dicunt ei : Cæsaris. Tunc ait illis : Reddite ergo quæ sunt Cæsaris, Cæsari : et quæ sunt Dei, Deo.

λέγουσιν: Καίσαρος. τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς: ἀπόδοτε οὖν τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι καὶ τὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τῷ θεῷ.

And hearing this, they wondered and, leaving him, went their ways.

Et audientes mirati sunt, et relicto eo abierunt.

καὶ ἀκούσαντες ἐθαύμασαν, καὶ ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ἀπῆλθαν.

That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him,

In illo die accesserunt ad eum sadducæi, qui dicunt non esse resurrectionem : et interrogaverunt eum,

Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ Σαδδουκαῖοι, λέγοντες μὴ εἶναι ἀνάστασιν, καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν

Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up issue to his brother.

dicentes : Magister, Moyses dixit : Si quis mortuus fuerit non habens filium, ut ducat frater ejus uxorem illius, et suscitet semen fratri suo.

λέγοντες: διδάσκαλε, Μωϋσῆς εἶπεν: ἐάν τις ἀποθάνῃ μὴ ἔχων τέκνα, ἐπιγαμβρεύσει ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀναστήσει σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.

Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his brother.

Erant autem apud nos septem fratres : et primus, uxore ducta, defunctus est : et non habens semen, reliquit uxorem suam fratri suo.

ἦσαν δὲ παρ' ἡμῖν ἑπτὰ ἀδελφοί, καὶ ὁ πρῶτος γήμας ἐτελεύτησεν, καὶ μὴ ἔχων σπέρμα ἀφῆκεν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.

In like manner the second and the third and so on, to the seventh.

Similiter secundus, et tertius usque ad septimum.

ὁμοίως καὶ ὁ δεύτερος καὶ ὁ τρίτος, ἕως τῶν ἑπτά.

And last of all the woman died also.

Novissime autem omnium et mulier defuncta est.

ὕστερον δὲ πάντων ἀπέθανεν ἡ γυνή.

At the resurrection therefore, whose wife of the seven shall she be? For they all had her.

In resurrectione ergo cujus erit de septem uxor? omnes enim habuerunt eam.

ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει οὖν τίνος τῶν ἑπτὰ ἔσται γυνή; πάντες γὰρ ἔσχον αὐτήν.

And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

Respondens autem Jesus, ait illis : Erratis nescientes Scripturas, neque virtutem Dei.

ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς: πλανᾶσθε, μὴ εἰδότες τὰς γραφὰς μηδὲ τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ θεοῦ.

For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married, but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.

In resurrectione enim neque nubent, neque nubentur : sed erunt sicut angeli Dei in cælo.

ἐν γὰρ τῇ ἀναστάσει οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε γαμίζονται, ἀλλ' ὡς ἄγγελοι ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ εἰσιν.

And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you:

De resurrectione autem mortuorum non legistis quod dictum est a Deo dicente vobis:

περὶ δὲ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῶν νεκρῶν οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑμῖν ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ λέγοντος:

I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.

Ego sum Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob? Non est Deus mortuorum, sed viventium.

ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ ὁ θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ καὶ ὁ θεὸς Ἰακώβ; οὐκ ἔστιν [ὁ] θεὸς νεκρῶν ἀλλὰ ζώντων.

And the multitudes hearing it were in admiration at his doctrine.

Et audientes turbæ, mirabantur in doctrina ejus.

καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ὄχλοι ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ.

But the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together.

Pharisæi autem audientes quod silentium imposuisset sadducæis, convenerunt in unum:

Οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι ἀκούσαντες ὅτι ἐφίμωσεν τοὺς Σαδδουκαίους συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό,

And one of them, a doctor of the law, asked him, tempting him:

et interrogavit eum unus ex eis legis doctor, tentans eum:

καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν νομικὸς πειράζων αὐτόν:

Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Magister, quod est mandatum magnum in lege?

διδάσκαλε, ποία ἐντολὴ μεγάλη ἐν τῷ νόμῳ;

Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind.

Ait illi Jesus : Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua, et in tota mente tua.

ὁ δὲ ἔφη αὐτῷ: ἀγαπήσεις κύριον τὸν θεόν σου ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ σου καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ψυχῇ σου καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ διανοίᾳ σου.

This is the greatest and the first commandment.

Hoc est maximum, et primum mandatum.

αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ μεγάλη καὶ πρώτη ἐντολή.

And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Secundum autem simile est huic : Diliges proximum tuum, sicut teipsum.

δευτέρα ὁμοία αὐτῇ: ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν.

On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.

In his duobus mandatis universa lex pendet, et prophetæ.

ἐν ταύταις ταῖς δυσὶν ἐντολαῖς ὅλος ὁ νόμος κρέμαται καὶ οἱ προφῆται.

And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them,

Congregatis autem pharisæis, interrogavit eos Jesus,

Συνηγμένων δὲ τῶν Φαρισαίων ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς

Saying: What think you of Christ? Whose son is he? They say to him: David’s.

dicens : Quid vobis videtur de Christo? cujus filius est? Dicunt ei : David.

λέγων: τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ περὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ; τίνος υἱός ἐστιν; λέγουσιν αὐτῷ: τοῦ Δαυίδ.

He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying:

Ait illis : Quomodo ergo David in spiritu vocat eum Dominum, dicens:

λέγει αὐτοῖς: πῶς οὖν Δαυὶδ ἐν πνεύματι καλεῖ αὐτὸν κύριον, λέγων:

The Lord said to my Lord: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?

Dixit Dominus Domino meo : Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum?

εἶπεν κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου: κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν σου.

If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

Si ergo David vocat eum Dominum, quomodo filius ejus est?

εἰ οὖν Δαυὶδ καλεῖ αὐτὸν κύριον, πῶς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἐστιν;

And no man was able to answer him a word: neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

Et nemo poterat ei respondere verbum : neque ausus fuit quisquam ex illa die eum amplius interrogare.

καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο ἀποκριθῆναι αὐτῷ λόγον, οὐδὲ ἐτόλμησέν τις ἀπ' ἐκείνης τῆς ἡμέρας ἐπερωτῆσαι αὐτὸν οὐκέτι.
