1Et respondens Jesus, dixit iterum in parabolis eis, dicens:
1Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:
2Simile factum est regnum cælorum homini regi, qui fecit nuptias filio suo.
2“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
3Et misit servos suos vocare invitatos ad nuptias, et nolebant venire.
3He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
4Iterum misit alios servos, dicens: Dicite invitatis: Ecce prandium meum paravi, tauri mei et altilia occisa sunt, et omnia parata: venite ad nuptias.
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.’
5Illi autem neglexerunt: et abierunt, alius in villam suam, alius vero ad negotiationem suam:
5But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.
6reliqui vero tenuerunt servos ejus, et contumeliis affectos occiderunt.
6The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
7Rex autem cum audisset, iratus est: et missis exercitibus suis, perdidit homicidas illos, et civitatem illorum succendit.
7The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.
8Tunc ait servis suis: Nuptiæ quidem paratæ sunt, sed qui invitati erant, non fuerunt digni:
8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.
9ite ergo ad exitus viarum, et quoscumque inveneritis, vocate ad nuptias.
9Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
10Et egressi servi ejus in vias, congregaverunt omnes quos invenerunt, malos et bonos: et impletæ sunt nuptiæ discumbentium.
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.
11Intravit autem rex ut videret discumbentes, et vidit ibi hominem non vestitum veste nuptiali.
11But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
12Et ait illi: Amice, quomodo huc intrasti non habens vestem nuptialem? At ille obmutuit.
12‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
13Tunc dicit rex ministris: Ligatis manibus et pedibus ejus, mittite eum in tenebras exteriores: ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.
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.’
14Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi.
14For many are called, but few are chosen.”
15Tunc abeuntes pharisæi, consilium inierunt ut caperent eum in sermone.
15Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
16Et 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:
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.
17dic ergo nobis quid tibi videtur, licet censum dare Cæsari, an non?
17So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
18Cognita autem Jesus nequitia eorum, ait: Quid me tentatis, hypocritæ?
18But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?
19ostendite mihi numisma census. At illi obtulerunt ei denarium.
19Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
20Et ait illis Jesus: Cujus est imago hæc, et superscriptio?
20“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”
21Dicunt ei: Cæsaris. Tunc ait illis: Reddite ergo quæ sunt Cæsaris, Cæsari: et quæ sunt Dei, Deo.
21“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
22Et audientes mirati sunt, et relicto eo abierunt.
22And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
23In illo die accesserunt ad eum sadducæi, qui dicunt non esse resurrectionem: et interrogaverunt eum,
23That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.
24dicentes: Magister, Moyses dixit: Si quis mortuus fuerit non habens filium, ut ducat frater ejus uxorem illius, et suscitet semen fratri suo.
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.
25Erant autem apud nos septem fratres: et primus, uxore ducta, defunctus est: et non habens semen, reliquit uxorem suam fratri suo.
25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.
26Similiter secundus, et tertius usque ad septimum.
26The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.
27Novissime autem omnium et mulier defuncta est.
27And last of all, the woman died.
28In resurrectione ergo cujus erit de septem uxor? omnes enim habuerunt eam.
28In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”
29Respondens autem Jesus, ait illis: Erratis nescientes Scripturas, neque virtutem Dei.
29Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
30In resurrectione enim neque nubent, neque nubentur: sed erunt sicut angeli Dei in cælo.
30In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
31De resurrectione autem mortuorum non legistis quod dictum est a Deo dicente vobis:
31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:
32Ego sum Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob? Non est Deus mortuorum, sed viventium.
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.”
33Et audientes turbæ, mirabantur in doctrina ejus.
33When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
34Pharisæi autem audientes quod silentium imposuisset sadducæis, convenerunt in unum:
34And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.
35et interrogavit eum unus ex eis legis doctor, tentans eum:
35One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:
36Magister, quod est mandatum magnum in lege?
36“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”
37Ait illi Jesus: Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua, et in tota mente tua.
37Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38Hoc est maximum, et primum mandatum.
38This is the first and greatest commandment.
39Secundum autem simile est huic: Diliges proximum tuum, sicut teipsum.
39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40In his duobus mandatis universa lex pendet, et prophetæ.
40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
41Congregatis autem pharisæis, interrogavit eos Jesus,
41While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:
42dicens: Quid vobis videtur de Christo? cujus filius est? Dicunt ei: David.
42“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
43Ait illis: Quomodo ergo David in spiritu vocat eum Dominum, dicens:
43Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:
44Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum?
44‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
45Si ergo David vocat eum Dominum, quomodo filius ejus est?
45So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”
46Et nemo poterat ei respondere verbum: neque ausus fuit quisquam ex illa die eum amplius interrogare.
46No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
