My LORD’s BibleMatthew 22
1And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:
Et respondens Jesus, dixit iterum in parabolis eis, dicens:
3And 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.
4Again 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.
5But 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:
7But 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.
8Then 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:
9Go 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.
10And 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.
11And 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.
12And 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.
13Then 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.
15Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech.
Tunc abeuntes pharisæi, consilium inierunt ut caperent eum in sermone.
16And 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:
18But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites?
Cognita autem Jesus nequitia eorum, ait: Quid me tentatis, hypocritæ?
20And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?
Et ait illis Jesus: Cujus est imago hæc, et superscriptio?
21They 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.
22And hearing this, they wondered and, leaving him, went their ways.
Et audientes mirati sunt, et relicto eo abierunt.
23That 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,
25Now 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.
26In like manner the second and the third and so on, to the seventh.
Similiter secundus, et tertius usque ad septimum.
28At 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.
29And 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.
30For 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.
31And 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:
33And the multitudes hearing it were in admiration at his doctrine.
Et audientes turbæ, mirabantur in doctrina ejus.
34But the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together.
Pharisæi autem audientes quod silentium imposuisset sadducæis, convenerunt in unum:
35And one of them, a doctor of the law, asked him, tempting him:
et interrogavit eum unus ex eis legis doctor, tentans eum:
36Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Magister, quod est mandatum magnum in lege?
38This is the greatest and the first commandment.
Hoc est maximum, et primum mandatum.
39And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Secundum autem simile est huic: Diliges proximum tuum, sicut teipsum.
40On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.
In his duobus mandatis universa lex pendet, et prophetæ.
41And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them,
Congregatis autem pharisæis, interrogavit eos Jesus,
43He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying:
Ait illis: Quomodo ergo David in spiritu vocat eum Dominum, dicens:
45If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
Si ergo David vocat eum Dominum, quomodo filius ejus est?
46And 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.
