1 και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ παλιν ειπεν αυτοισ εν παραβολαισ λεγων
1 Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
2 ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει οστισ εποιησεν γαμουσ τω υιω αυτου
2 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
3 και απεστειλεν τουσ δουλουσ αυτου καλεσαι τουσ κεκλημενουσ εισ τουσ γαμουσ και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
4 παλιν απεστειλεν αλλουσ δουλουσ λεγων ειπατε τοισ κεκλημενοισ ιδου το αριστον μου ητοιμασα οι ταυροι μου και τα σιτιστα τεθυμενα και παντα ετοιμα δευτε εισ τουσ γαμουσ
4 Again 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!”’
5 οι δε αμελησαντεσ απηλθον ο μεν εισ τον ιδιον αγρον ο δε εισ την εμποριαν αυτου
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
6 οι δε λοιποι κρατησαντεσ τουσ δουλουσ αυτου υβρισαν και απεκτειναν
6 and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 και ακουσασ ο βασιλευσ εκεινοσ ωργισθη και πεμψασ τα στρατευματα αυτου απωλεσεν τουσ φονεισ εκεινουσ και την πολιν αυτων ενεπρησεν
7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 τοτε λεγει τοισ δουλοισ αυτου ο μεν γαμοσ ετοιμοσ εστιν οι δε κεκλημενοι ουκ ησαν αξιοι
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.
9 πορευεσθε ουν επι τασ διεξοδουσ των οδων και οσουσ αν ευρητε καλεσατε εισ τουσ γαμουσ
9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
10 και εξελθοντεσ οι δουλοι εκεινοι εισ τασ οδουσ συνηγαγον παντασ οσουσ ευρον πονηρουσ τε και αγαθουσ και επλησθη ο γαμοσ ανακειμενων
10 Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
11 εισελθων δε ο βασιλευσ θεασασθαι τουσ ανακειμενουσ ειδεν εκει ανθρωπον ουκ ενδεδυμενον ενδυμα γαμου
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
12 και λεγει αυτω εταιρε πωσ εισηλθεσ ωδε μη εχων ενδυμα γαμου ο δε εφιμωθη
12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
13 τοτε ειπεν ο βασιλευσ τοισ διακονοισ δησαντεσ αυτου ποδασ και χειρασ αρατε αυτον και εκβαλετε εισ το σκοτοσ το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμοσ και ο βρυγμοσ των οδοντων
13 Then 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.’
14 πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι
14 For many are called, but few chosen.”
15 τοτε πορευθεντεσ οι φαρισαιοι συμβουλιον ελαβον οπωσ αυτον παγιδευσωσιν εν λογω
15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
16 και αποστελλουσιν αυτω τουσ μαθητασ αυτων μετα των ηρωδιανων λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε οιδαμεν οτι αληθησ ει και την οδον του θεου εν αληθεια διδασκεισ και ου μελει σοι περι ουδενοσ ου γαρ βλεπεισ εισ προσωπον ανθρωπων
16 They 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.
17 ειπε ουν ημιν τι σοι δοκει εξεστιν δουναι κηνσον καισαρι η ου
17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18 γνουσ δε ο ιησουσ την πονηριαν αυτων ειπεν τι με πειραζετε υποκριται
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
19 επιδειξατε μοι το νομισμα του κηνσου οι δε προσηνεγκαν αυτω δηναριον
19 Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.
20 και λεγει αυτοισ τινοσ η εικων αυτη και η επιγραφη
20 He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
21 λεγουσιν αυτω καισαροσ τοτε λεγει αυτοισ αποδοτε ουν τα καισαροσ καισαρι και τα του θεου τω θεω
21 They 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.”
22 και ακουσαντεσ εθαυμασαν και αφεντεσ αυτον απηλθον
22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
23 εν εκεινη τη ημερα προσηλθον αυτω σαδδουκαιοι οι λεγοντεσ μη ειναι αναστασιν και επηρωτησαν αυτον
23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
24 λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε μωσησ ειπεν εαν τισ αποθανη μη εχων τεκνα επιγαμβρευσει ο αδελφοσ αυτου την γυναικα αυτου και αναστησει σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου
24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
25 ησαν δε παρ ημιν επτα αδελφοι και ο πρωτοσ γαμησασ ετελευτησεν και μη εχων σπερμα αφηκεν την γυναικα αυτου τω αδελφω αυτου
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
26 ομοιωσ και ο δευτεροσ και ο τριτοσ εωσ των επτα
26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 υστερον δε παντων απεθανεν και η γυνη
27 After them all, the woman died.
28 εν τη ουν αναστασει τινοσ των επτα εσται γυνη παντεσ γαρ εσχον αυτην
28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
29 αποκριθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ πλανασθε μη ειδοτεσ τασ γραφασ μηδε την δυναμιν του θεου
29 But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 εν γαρ τη αναστασει ουτε γαμουσιν ουτε εκγαμιζονται αλλ ωσ αγγελοι του θεου εν ουρανω εισιν
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
31 περι δε τησ αναστασεωσ των νεκρων ουκ ανεγνωτε το ρηθεν υμιν υπο του θεου λεγοντοσ
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 εγω ειμι ο θεοσ αβρααμ και ο θεοσ ισαακ και ο θεοσ ιακωβ ουκ εστιν ο θεοσ θεοσ νεκρων αλλα ζωντων
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.”
33 και ακουσαντεσ οι οχλοι εξεπλησσοντο επι τη διδαχη αυτου
33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 οι δε φαρισαιοι ακουσαντεσ οτι εφιμωσεν τουσ σαδδουκαιουσ συνηχθησαν επι το αυτο
34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
35 και επηρωτησεν εισ εξ αυτων νομικοσ πειραζων αυτον και λεγων
35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
36 διδασκαλε ποια εντολη μεγαλη εν τω νομω
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
37 ο δε ιησουσ εφη αυτω αγαπησεισ κυριον τον θεον σου εν ολη καρδια σου και εν ολη ψυχη σου και εν ολη τη διανοια σου
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 αυτη εστιν πρωτη και μεγαλη εντολη
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 δευτερα δε ομοια αυτη αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου ωσ σεαυτον
39 A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 εν ταυταισ ταισ δυσιν εντολαισ ολοσ ο νομοσ και οι προφηται κρεμανται
40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
41 συνηγμενων δε των φαρισαιων επηρωτησεν αυτουσ ο ιησουσ
41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
42 λεγων τι υμιν δοκει περι του χριστου τινοσ υιοσ εστιν λεγουσιν αυτω του δαυιδ
42 saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”
43 λεγει αυτοισ πωσ ουν δαυιδ εν πνευματι κυριον αυτον καλει λεγων
43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 ειπεν ο κυριοσ τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου εωσ αν θω τουσ εχθρουσ σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
45 ει ουν δαυιδ καλει αυτον κυριον πωσ υιοσ αυτου εστιν
45 “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
46 και ουδεισ εδυνατο αυτω αποκριθηναι λογον ουδε ετολμησεν τισ απ εκεινησ τησ ημερασ επερωτησαι αυτον ουκετι
46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
All the faithful know the marriage of the king's son, and his feast, and the spreading of the Lord's Table is open to them all who will. But it is of importance to each one to see how he approaches, even when he is not forbidden to approach It.

Seest thou both in the former parable and in this the difference between the Son and the servants? Seest thou at once the great affinity between both parables, and the great difference also? For this also indicates God's long-suffering, and His great providential care, and the Jews' ingratitude. But this parable hath something also more than the other.

… if one ought to pay tribute to Cæsar; and He answered, "Tell Me, whose image does the coin bear?" And they said, "Cæsar's." And again He answered them, "Render therefore to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar's, and to God the things that are God's." Whence to God alone we render worship, but in other things we gladly serve you, …
To those, therefore, who are ignorant of these matters, and on this account imagine that they have discovered another Father, justly does one say, "Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God."
Can it at any time or place be an unrighteous thing for a man to love God with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his mind, and his neighbour as himself? Therefore those offences which be contrary to nature are everywhere and at all times to be held in detestation and punished; such were those of …
