1Et respondens Jesus, dixit iterum in parabolis eis, dicens:
1And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:
2Simile factum est regnum cælorum homini regi, qui fecit nuptias filio suo.
2The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son.
3Et misit servos suos vocare invitatos ad nuptias, et nolebant venire.
3And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage; and they would not 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, 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.
5Illi autem neglexerunt: et abierunt, alius in villam suam, alius vero ad negotiationem suam:
5But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise.
6reliqui vero tenuerunt servos ejus, et contumeliis affectos occiderunt.
6And the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.
7Rex autem cum audisset, iratus est: et missis exercitibus suis, perdidit homicidas illos, et civitatem illorum succendit.
7But when the king had heard of it, he was angry, and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.
8Tunc ait servis suis: Nuptiæ quidem paratæ sunt, sed qui invitati erant, non fuerunt digni:
8Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.
9ite ergo ad exitus viarum, et quoscumque inveneritis, vocate ad nuptias.
9Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.
10Et egressi servi ejus in vias, congregaverunt omnes quos invenerunt, malos et bonos: et impletæ sunt nuptiæ discumbentium.
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.
11Intravit autem rex ut videret discumbentes, et vidit ibi hominem non vestitum veste nuptiali.
11And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.
12Et ait illi: Amice, quomodo huc intrasti non habens vestem nuptialem? At ille obmutuit.
12And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent.
13Tunc dicit rex ministris: Ligatis manibus et pedibus ejus, mittite eum in tenebras exteriores: ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.
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.
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 going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech.
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:
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.
17dic ergo nobis quid tibi videtur, licet censum dare Cæsari, an non?
17Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
18Cognita autem Jesus nequitia eorum, ait: Quid me tentatis, hypocritæ?
18But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites?
19ostendite mihi numisma census. At illi obtulerunt ei denarium.
19Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny.
20Et ait illis Jesus: Cujus est imago hæc, et superscriptio?
20And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?
21Dicunt ei: Cæsaris. Tunc ait illis: Reddite ergo quæ sunt Cæsaris, Cæsari: et quæ sunt Dei, Deo.
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.
22Et audientes mirati sunt, et relicto eo abierunt.
22And hearing this they wondered, and leaving him, went their ways.
23In illo die accesserunt ad eum sadducæi, qui dicunt non esse resurrectionem: et interrogaverunt eum,
23That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him,
24dicentes: Magister, Moyses dixit: Si quis mortuus fuerit non habens filium, ut ducat frater ejus uxorem illius, et suscitet semen fratri suo.
24Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up issue to his brother.
25Erant autem apud nos septem fratres: et primus, uxore ducta, defunctus est: et non habens semen, reliquit uxorem suam fratri suo.
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.
26Similiter secundus, et tertius usque ad septimum.
26In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh.
27Novissime autem omnium et mulier defuncta est.
27And last of all the woman died also.
28In resurrectione ergo cujus erit de septem uxor? omnes enim habuerunt eam.
28At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her.
29Respondens autem Jesus, ait illis: Erratis nescientes Scripturas, neque virtutem Dei.
29And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30In resurrectione enim neque nubent, neque nubentur: sed erunt sicut angeli Dei in cælo.
30For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.
31De resurrectione autem mortuorum non legistis quod dictum est a Deo dicente vobis:
31And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you:
32Ego sum Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob? Non est Deus mortuorum, sed viventium.
32I 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.
33Et audientes turbæ, mirabantur in doctrina ejus.
33And the multitudes hearing it, were in admiration at his doctrine.
34Pharisæi autem audientes quod silentium imposuisset sadducæis, convenerunt in unum:
34But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together:
35et interrogavit eum unus ex eis legis doctor, tentans eum:
35And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him:
36Magister, quod est mandatum magnum in lege?
36Master, which is the greatest commandment 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 said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.
38Hoc est maximum, et primum mandatum.
38This is the greatest and the first commandment.
39Secundum autem simile est huic: Diliges proximum tuum, sicut teipsum.
39And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40In his duobus mandatis universa lex pendet, et prophetæ.
40On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.
41Congregatis autem pharisæis, interrogavit eos Jesus,
41And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42dicens: Quid vobis videtur de Christo? cujus filius est? Dicunt ei: David.
42Saying: What think you of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him: David’s.
43Ait illis: Quomodo ergo David in spiritu vocat eum Dominum, dicens:
43He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying:
44Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum?
44The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
45Si ergo David vocat eum Dominum, quomodo filius ejus est?
45If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46Et nemo poterat ei respondere verbum: neque ausus fuit quisquam ex illa die eum amplius interrogare.
46And no man was able to answer him a word; neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
