Matthew 22:10–15

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
¶ And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
For many are called, but few are chosen.
¶ Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

22:1AND Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

22:2The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

22:3And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

22:4Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

22:5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

22:6And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

22:7But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

22:8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

22:9Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

22:10So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

Selected passage

22:11¶ And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

Selected passage

22:12And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

Selected passage

22:13Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Selected passage

22:14For many are called, but few are chosen.

Selected passage

22:15¶ Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

Selected passage

22:16And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

22:17Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?

22:18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

22:19Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

22:20And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?

22:21They say unto him, Cæsar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.

22:22When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
