Matthäus 22 | English Standard Version

The Parable of the Wedding Feast

1 And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, 3 and sent his servants* to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ 5 But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ 10 And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests. 11 “But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. 12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Paying Taxes to Caesar

15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in his words. 16 And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone’s opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances.* 17 Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius.* 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” 22 When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away.

Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection

23 The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’ 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.” 29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

The Great Commandment

34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

Whose Son Is the Christ?

41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42 saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.” 43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying, 44 “‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet”’? 45 If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” 46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.

الكتاب المقدس

مَثل وليمة الملك

1 وَعَادَ يَسُوعُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِالأَمْثَالِ، فَقَالَ: 2 «يُشَبَّهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِإِنْسَانٍ مَلِكٍ أَقَامَ وَلِيمَةً فِي عُرْسِ ابْنِهِ، 3 وَأَرْسَلَ عَبِيدَهُ يَسْتَدْعِي الْمَدْعُوِّينَ إِلَى الْعُرْسِ، فَلَمْ يَرْغَبُوا فِي الْحُضُورِ. 4 فَأَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ ثَانِيَةً عَبِيداً آخَرِينَ قَائِلاً لَهُمْ: قُولُوا لِلْمَدْعُوِّينَ: هَا أَنَا قَدْ أَعْدَدْتُ وَلِيمَتِي؛ ثِيرَانِي وَعُجُولِي الْمُسَمَّنَةُ قَدْ ذُبِحَتْ وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ جَاهِزٌ، فَتَعَالَوْا إِلَى الْعُرْسِ! 5 وَلكِنَّ الْمَدْعُوِّينَ تَهَاوَنُوا، فَذَهَبَ وَاحِدٌ إِلَى حَقْلِهِ، وَآخَرُ إِلَى مَتْجَرِهِ؛ 6 وَالْبَاقُونَ قَبَضُوا عَلَى عَبِيدِ الْمَلِكِ وَأَهَانُوهُمْ وَقَتَلُوهُمْ. 7 فَغَضِبَ الْمَلِكُ وَأَرْسَلَ جُيُوشَهُ، فَأَهْلَكَ أُولئِكَ الْقَتَلَةَ وَأَحْرَقَ مَدِينَتَهُمْ. 8 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِعَبِيدِهِ: إِنَّ وَلِيمَةَ الْعُرْسِ جَاهِزَةٌ، وَلكِنَّ الْمَدْعُوِّينَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا مُسْتَحِقِّينَ. 9 فَاذْهَبُوا إِلَى مَفَارِقِ الطُّرُقِ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ تَجِدُونَهُ ادْعُوهُ إِلَى وَلِيمَةِ الْعُرْسِ! 10 فَخَرَجَ الْعَبِيدُ إِلَى الطُّرُقِ، وَجَمَعُوا كُلَّ مَنْ وَجَدُوا، أَشْرَاراً وَصَالِحِينَ، حَتَّى امْتَلأَتْ قَاعَةُ الْعُرْسِ بِالضُّيُوفِ. 11 وَدَخَلَ الْمَلِكُ لِيَنْظُرَ الضُّيُوفَ، فَرَأَى إِنْسَاناً لَا يَلْبَسُ ثَوْبَ الْعُرْسِ. 12 فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا صَاحِبِي، كَيْفَ دَخَلْتَ إِلَى هُنَا وَأَنْتَ لَا تَلْبَسُ ثَوْبَ الْعُرْسِ؟ فَظَلَّ صَامِتاً. 13 فَأَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ خُدَّامَهُ قَائِلاً: قَيِّدُوا رِجْلَيْهِ وَيَدَيْهِ، وَاطْرَحُوهُ فِي الظَّلامِ الْخَارِجِيِّ، هُنَالِكَ يَكُونُ الْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ الأَسْنَانِ! 14 لأَنَّ الْمَدْعُوِّينَ كَثِيرُونَ، وَلكِنَّ الْمُخْتَارِينَ قَلِيلُونَ!»

دفع الجزية للقيصر

15 فَذَهَبَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَتَآمَرُوا كَيْفَ يُوْقِعُونَهُ بِكَلِمَةٍ يَقُولُهَا. 16 فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ بَعْضَ تَلامِيذِهِمْ مَعَ أَعْضَاءِ حِزْبِ هِيرُودُسَ، يَقُولُونَ لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ صَادِقٌ وَتُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ طَرِيقَ اللهِ فِي الْحَقِّ، وَلا تُبَالِي بِأَحَدٍ لأَنَّكَ لَا تُرَاعِي مَقَامَاتِ النَّاسِ، 17 فَقُلْ لَنَا إِذَنْ مَا رَأْيُكَ؟ أَيَحِلُّ أَنْ تُدْفَعَ الْجِزْيَةُ لِلْقَيْصَرِ أَمْ لا؟» 18 فَأَدْرَكَ يَسُوعُ مَكْرَهُمْ وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا الْمُنَافِقُونَ، لِمَاذَا تُحَاوِلُونَ الإيقَاعَ بِي؟ 19 أَرُونِي عُمْلَةَ الْجِزْيَةِ!» فَقَدَّمُوا لَهُ دِينَاراً. 20 فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «لِمَنْ هَذِهِ الصُّورَةُ وَهَذَا النَّقْشُ؟» 21 أَجَابُوهُ: «لِلْقَيْصَرِ!» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِذَنْ، أَعْطُوا مَا لِلْقَيْصَرِ لِلْقَيْصَرِ، وَمَا لِلهِ لِلهِ» 22 فَتَرَكُوهُ وَمَضَوْا، مَدْهُوشِينَ مِمَّا سَمِعُوا.

الزواج في القيامة

23 فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْضُ الصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَؤْمِنُونَ بالْقِيَامَةِ، وَسَأَلُوهُ 24 قَائِلِينَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، قَالَ مُوسَى: إِنْ مَاتَ رَجُلٌ دُونَ أَنْ يُخَلِّفَ أَوْلاداً، فَعَلَى أَخِيهِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ بِأَرْمَلَتِهِ، وَيُقِيمَ نَسْلاً عَلَى اسْمِ أَخِيهِ. 25 فَقَدْ كَانَ عِنْدَنَا سَبْعَةُ إِخْوَةٍ، تَزَوَّجَ أَوَّلُهُمْ ثُمَّ مَاتَ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ نَسْلٌ، فَتَرَكَ زَوْجَتَهُ لأَخِيهِ؛ 26 وَكَذلِكَ الثَّانِي ثُمَّ الثَّالِثُ، حَتَّى السَّابِعِ. 27 وَمِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ جَمِيعاً، مَاتَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَيْضاً. 28 فَفِي الْقِيَامَةِ، لِمَنْ مِنَ السَّبْعَةِ تَكُونُ الْمَرْأَةُ زَوْجَةً، لأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ زَوْجَةً لِكُلٍّ مِنْهُمْ؟» 29 فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «أَنْتُمْ فِي ضَلالٍ لأَنَّكُمْ لَا تَفْهَمُونَ الْكِتَابَ وَلا قُدْرَةَ اللهِ. 30 فَالنَّاسُ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ لَا يَتَزَوَّجُونَ وَلا يُزَوِّجُونَ، بَلْ يَكُونُونَ كَمَلائِكَةِ اللهِ فِي السَّمَاءِ. 31 أَمَّا عَنْ قِيَامَةِ الأَمْوَاتِ، أَفَمَا قَرَأْتُمْ مَا قِيلَ لَكُمْ عَلَى لِسَانِ اللهِ: 32 أَنَا إِلهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَإِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ؟ وَلَيْسَ اللهُ بِإِلَهِ أَمْوَاتٍ، بِلْ هُوَ إِلهُ أَحْيَاءَ». 33 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْجُمُوعُ، ذُهِلُوا مِنْ تَعْلِيمِهِ.

الوصية العظمى

34 وَلكِنْ لَمَّا سَمِعَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ أَفْحَمَ الصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ، اجْتَمَعُوا مَعاً، 35 وَسَأَلَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ، وَهُوَ مِنْ عُلَمَاءِ الشَّرِيعَةِ، يُحَاوِلُ أَنْ يَسْتَدْرِجَهُ: 36 «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَا هِيَ الْوَصِيَّةُ الْعُظْمَى فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ؟» 37 فَأَجَابَهُ: «أَحِبّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَكُلِّ نَفْسِكَ وَكُلِّ فِكْرِكَ! 38 هَذِهِ هِيَ الْوَصِيَّةُ الْعُظْمَى الأُولَى. 39 وَالثَّانِيَةُ مِثْلُهَا: أَحِبّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ! 40 بِهَاتَيْنِ الْوَصِيَّتَيْنِ تَتَعَلَّقُ الشَّرِيعَةُ وَكُتُبُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ!»

المسيح وداود

41 وَفِيمَا كَانَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ، سَأَلَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: 42 «مَا رَأْيُكُمْ فِي الْمَسِيحِ: ابْنُ مَنْ هُوَ؟» أَجَابُوهُ: «ابْنُ دَاوُدَ!» 43 فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «إِذَنْ، كَيْفَ يَدْعُوهُ دَاوُدُ بِالرُّوحِ رَبّاً لَهُ إِذْ يَقُولُ: 44 قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِرَبِّي: اجْلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي حَتَّى أَضَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ مَوْطِئاً لِقَدَمَيْكَ؟ 45 فَإِنْ كَانَ دَاوُدُ يَدْعُوهُ رَبَّهُ، فَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ ابْنَهُ؟» 46 فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يُجِيبَهُ وَلَوْ بِكَلِمَةٍ. وَمِنْ ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، لَمْ يَجْرُؤْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَسْتَدْرِجَهُ بِأَيِّ سُؤَالٍ.
