Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
1Et respondens Jesus, dixit iterum in parabolis eis, dicens:
2“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
2Simile factum est regnum cælorum homini regi, qui fecit nuptias filio suo.
3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
3Et misit servos suos vocare invitatos ad nuptias, et nolebant venire.
4Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’
4Iterum misit alios servos, dicens: Dicite invitatis: Ecce prandium meum paravi, tauri mei et altilia occisa sunt, et omnia parata: venite ad nuptias.
5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
5Illi autem neglexerunt: et abierunt, alius in villam suam, alius vero ad negotiationem suam:
6and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
6reliqui vero tenuerunt servos ejus, et contumeliis affectos occiderunt.
7When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
7Rex autem cum audisset, iratus est: et missis exercitibus suis, perdidit homicidas illos, et civitatem illorum succendit.
8“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.
8Tunc ait servis suis: Nuptiæ quidem paratæ sunt, sed qui invitati erant, non fuerunt digni:
9Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
9ite ergo ad exitus viarum, et quoscumque inveneritis, vocate ad nuptias.
10Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
10Et egressi servi ejus in vias, congregaverunt omnes quos invenerunt, malos et bonos: et impletæ sunt nuptiæ discumbentium.
11“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
11Intravit autem rex ut videret discumbentes, et vidit ibi hominem non vestitum veste nuptiali.
12and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
12Et ait illi: Amice, quomodo huc intrasti non habens vestem nuptialem? At ille obmutuit.
13Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
13Tunc dicit rex ministris: Ligatis manibus et pedibus ejus, mittite eum in tenebras exteriores: ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.
14For many are called, but few chosen.”
14Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi.
15Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
15Tunc abeuntes pharisæi, consilium inierunt ut caperent eum in sermone.
16They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone.
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:
17Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
17dic ergo nobis quid tibi videtur, licet censum dare Cæsari, an non?
18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
18Cognita autem Jesus nequitia eorum, ait: Quid me tentatis, hypocritæ?
19Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.
19ostendite mihi numisma census. At illi obtulerunt ei denarium.
20He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
20Et ait illis Jesus: Cujus est imago hæc, et superscriptio?
21They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
21Dicunt ei: Cæsaris. Tunc ait illis: Reddite ergo quæ sunt Cæsaris, Cæsari: et quæ sunt Dei, Deo.
22When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
22Et audientes mirati sunt, et relicto eo abierunt.
23On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
23In illo die accesserunt ad eum sadducæi, qui dicunt non esse resurrectionem: et interrogaverunt eum,
24saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
24dicentes: Magister, Moyses dixit: Si quis mortuus fuerit non habens filium, ut ducat frater ejus uxorem illius, et suscitet semen fratri suo.
25Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
25Erant autem apud nos septem fratres: et primus, uxore ducta, defunctus est: et non habens semen, reliquit uxorem suam fratri suo.
26In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
26Similiter secundus, et tertius usque ad septimum.
27After them all, the woman died.
27Novissime autem omnium et mulier defuncta est.
28In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
28In resurrectione ergo cujus erit de septem uxor? omnes enim habuerunt eam.
29But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
29Respondens autem Jesus, ait illis: Erratis nescientes Scripturas, neque virtutem Dei.
30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
30In resurrectione enim neque nubent, neque nubentur: sed erunt sicut angeli Dei in cælo.
31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
31De 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’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
32Ego sum Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob? Non est Deus mortuorum, sed viventium.
33When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
33Et audientes turbæ, mirabantur in doctrina ejus.
34But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
34Pharisæi autem audientes quod silentium imposuisset sadducæis, convenerunt in unum:
35One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
35et interrogavit eum unus ex eis legis doctor, tentans eum:
36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
36Magister, quod est mandatum magnum in lege?
37Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
37Ait illi Jesus: Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua, et in tota mente tua.
38This is the first and great commandment.
38Hoc est maximum, et primum mandatum.
39A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
39Secundum autem simile est huic: Diliges proximum tuum, sicut teipsum.
40The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
40In his duobus mandatis universa lex pendet, et prophetæ.
41Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
41Congregatis autem pharisæis, interrogavit eos Jesus,
42saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”
42dicens: Quid vobis videtur de Christo? cujus filius est? Dicunt ei: David.
43He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
43Ait 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 your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
44Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum?
45“If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
45Si ergo David vocat eum Dominum, quomodo filius ejus est?
46No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
46Et nemo poterat ei respondere verbum: neque ausus fuit quisquam ex illa die eum amplius interrogare.
