| 1 | And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying: | Et respondens Iesus, dixit iterum in parabolis eis, dicens: |
| 2 | The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son. | Simile factum est regnum caelorum homini regi, qui fecit nuptias filio suo. |
| 3 | 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. |
| 4 | 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. |
| 5 | But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise. | Illi autem neglexerunt: et abierunt, alius in villam suam, alius vero ad negotiationem suam: |
| 6 | And the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death. | reliqui vero tenuerunt servos eius, et contumeliis affectos occiderunt. |
| 7 | 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. |
| 8 | Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy. | Tunc ait servis suis: Nuptiae quidem paratae sunt, sed qui invitati erant, non fuerunt digni: |
| 9 | 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. |
| 10 | 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 eius in vias, congregaverunt omnes quos invenerunt, malos et bonos: et impletae sunt nuptiae discumbentium. |
| 11 | 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. |
| 12 | And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent. | Et ait illi: Amice, quomodo huc intrasti non habens vestem nuptialem? At ille obmutuit. |
| 13 | 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 eius, mittite eum in tenebras exteriores: ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium. |
| 14 | For many are called, but few are chosen. | Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi. |
| 15 | Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech. | Tunc abeuntes pharisaei, consilium inierunt ut caperent eum in sermone. |
| 16 | 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: |
| 17 | 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 Caesari, an non? |
| 18 | But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites? | Cognita autem Iesus nequitia eorum, ait: Quid me tentatis, hypocritae? |
| 19 | Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny. | ostendite mihi numisma census. At illi obtulerunt ei denarium. |
| 20 | And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this? | Et ait illis Iesus: Cuius est imago haec, et superscriptio? |
| 21 | 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: Caesaris. Tunc ait illis: Reddite ergo quae sunt Caesaris, Caesari: et quae sunt Dei, Deo. |
| 22 | And hearing this they wondered, and leaving him, went their ways. | Et audientes mirati sunt, et relicto eo abierunt. |
| 23 | That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him, | In illo die accesserunt ad eum sadducaei, qui dicunt non esse resurrectionem: et interrogaverunt eum, |
| 24 | 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 eius uxorem illius, et suscitet semen fratri suo. |
| 25 | 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. |
| 26 | In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh. | Similiter secundus, et tertius usque ad septimum. |
| 27 | And last of all the woman died also. | Novissime autem omnium et mulier defuncta est. |
| 28 | At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her. | In resurrectione ergo cuius erit de septem uxor? omnes enim habuerunt eam. |
| 29 | And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. | Respondens autem Iesus, ait illis: Erratis nescientes Scripturas, neque virtutem Dei. |
| 30 | 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 caelo. |
| 31 | 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: |
| 32 | 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 Iacob? Non est Deus mortuorum, sed viventium. |
| 33 | And the multitudes hearing it, were in admiration at his doctrine. | Et audientes turbae, mirabantur in doctrina eius. |
| 34 | But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together: | Pharisaei autem audientes quod silentium imposuisset sadducaeis, convenerunt in unum: |
| 35 | And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him: | et interrogavit eum unus ex eis legis doctor, tentans eum: |
| 36 | Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law? | Magister, quod est mandatum magnum in lege? |
| 37 | 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 Iesus: Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua, et in tota mente tua. |
| 38 | This is the greatest and the first commandment. | Hoc est maximum, et primum mandatum. |
| 39 | And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. | Secundum autem simile est huic: Diliges proximum tuum, sicut teipsum. |
| 40 | On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets. | In his duobus mandatis universa lex pendet, et prophetae. |
| 41 | And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them, | Congregatis autem pharisaeis, interrogavit eos Iesus, |
| 42 | Saying: What think you of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him: David’s. | dicens: Quid vobis videtur de Christo? cuius filius est? Dicunt ei: David. |
| 43 | 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: |
| 44 | 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? |
| 45 | If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? | Si ergo David vocat eum Dominum, quomodo filius eius est? |
| 46 | 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. |
