1ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
1Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:
2⳿ⲥ⳿ⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲉⲁϥ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲡ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲓ.
2“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
3ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲃⲓⲁⲓⲕ ⳿ⲉⲙⲟⲩϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲑⲁϩⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓϩⲟⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ.
3He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
4ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲕⲉ⳿ⲉⲃⲓⲁⲓⲕ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲑⲁϩⲉⲙ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲁ⳿ⲁⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲛ ⲁⲓⲥⲉⲃⲧⲱⲧϥ ⲛⲁⲙⲁⲥⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲁⲛⲉⲩϣ ⲥⲉϣⲁⲧ ⲥⲉⲥⲉⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲁⲙⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓϩⲟⲡ.
4Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲁⲙⲉⲗⲉⲥ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲓⲟϩⲓ ⲕⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϥⲓⲉⲃϣⲱⲧ.
5But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.
6⳿ⲡⲥⲉⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲃⲓⲁⲓⲕ ⲁⲩϣⲟϣⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϧⲟⲑⲃⲟⲩ.
6The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
7ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲁϥϫⲱⲛⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲙⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲧⲣⲁⲧⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲉϥϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲟⲩⲃⲁⲕⲓ ⲁϥⲣⲟⲕϩⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲭⲣⲱⲙ.
7The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.
8ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲃⲓⲁⲕ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲡ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉϥⲥⲉⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲑⲁϩⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.
9ⲙⲁϣⲉⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲙⲁⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϫⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲑⲁϩⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲓϩⲟⲡ.
9Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
10ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲃⲓⲁⲓⲕ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⲁⲩⲑⲱⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩϫⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲙⲟϩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲣⲱⲧⲉⲃ.
10So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲑⲣⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧϩⲉⲃⲥⲱ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϩⲟⲡ ⲧⲟⲓ ϩⲓⲱⲧϥ ⲁⲛ.
11But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
12ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲡⲱⲥ ⲁⲕ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲙⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧϩⲉⲃⲥⲱ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϩⲟⲡ ⲧⲟⲓ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲕ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲁ ⲣⲱϥ ⲑⲱⲙ.
12‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
13ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲥⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲣⲁⲧϥ ϩⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⲉⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲣⲓⲙⲓ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲑⲉⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲛⲁϫϩⲓ.
13Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲩⲑⲁϩⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲓⲥⲱⲧⲡ.

15Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
16ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲎ̇ⲣⲱⲇⲓⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲫϯ ⳿ⲕϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲗⲓⲛ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲁⲛ ϧⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲕϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉϩⲟ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
16They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.
17⳿ⲁϫⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲕⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲥϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϯϩⲱϯ ⲙ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ϣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ.
17So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
18⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲥⲁⲙⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲛⲓϣⲟⲃⲓ.
18But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?
19ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲕⲏⲛⲥⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁⲑⲉⲣⲓ.
19Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
20ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲓϩⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲑⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ.
20“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”
21ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲛⲉ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁ ⲛⲁ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲁ ⲛⲁ Ⲫϯ ⳿ⲙⲪϯ.
21“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
22⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲭⲁϥ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ.
22And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
23ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲤⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲉⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛϥ.
23That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.
24ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲁ Ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲉϥ ϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ ⲟⲩ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ.
24“Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
25ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲍ̅ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲛ ϧⲁⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲩⲓⲧ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϭⲓ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲉϥ ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲭⲁ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ.
25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.
26ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲁϩ ⲃ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲙⲁϩ ⲅ̅ ϣⲁ ⲡⲓⲙⲁϩ ⲍ̅.
26The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.

27And last of all, the woman died.
28ϧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲥⲛⲁⲉⲣ ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ ⲍ̅ ⲁⲩϭⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
28In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”
29ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲣⲉⲙ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϯϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲫϯ.
29Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
30ϧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩϭⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲉⲣ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲫϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ.
30In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:

32‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ.
33When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
34ⲛⲓⲪⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲤⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲉⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲑⲱⲟⲩϯ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ.
34And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.
35ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲉⲛϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟⲙⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥϭⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
35One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:
36ϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲁϣ ⲧⲉ ϯⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ.
36“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”
37⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉⲙⲉⲛⲣⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲡⲉⲕⲛⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉⲕⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
37Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38ⲑⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ϯⲛⲓϣϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩⲓϯ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ.
38This is the first and greatest commandment.

39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

41While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:

42“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
43ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ Ⲇⲁⲩⲓⲇ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ Ⲡⲁ⳪ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
43Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:

45So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”

46No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
