PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)

1 And Iesus answered and spake vnto them agayne in similitudes sayinge.

1 Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,

1 Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς πάλιν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἐν παραβολαῖς λέγων·

2 The kingdome of heven is lyke vnto a certayne kynge which maryed his sonne

2 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,

2 ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ βασιλεῖ, ὅστις ἐποίησε γάμους τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ.

3 and sent forth his servantes to call them that were byd to the weddinge and they wolde not come.

3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.

3 καὶ ἀπέστειλε τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ καλέσαι τοὺς κεκλημένους εἰς τοὺς γάμους, καὶ οὐκ ἤθελον ἐλθεῖν.

4 Ageyne he sent forth other servauntes sayinge: Tell them which are bydden: beholde I have prepared my dynner myne oxen and my fatlinges are kylled and all thinges are redy come vnto the mariage.

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!”’

4 πάλιν ἀπέστειλεν ἄλλους δούλους λέγων· εἴπατε τοῖς κεκλημένοις· ἰδοὺ τὸ ἄριστόν μου ἡτοίμασα, οἱ ταῦροί μου καὶ τὰ σιτιστὰ τεθυμένα, καὶ πάντα ἕτοιμα· δεῦτε εἰς τοὺς γάμους.

5 But they made light of it and went their wayes: one to his ferme place another about his marchaundise

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;

5 οἱ δὲ ἀμελήσαντες ἀπῆλθον, ὁ μὲν εἰς τὸν ἴδιον ἀγρόν, ὁ δὲ εἰς τὴν ἐμπορίαν αὐτοῦ·

6 the remnaunt toke his seruantes and intreated them vngodly and slewe them.

6 and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.

6 οἱ δὲ λοιποὶ κρατήσαντες τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ ὕβρισαν καὶ ἀπέκτειναν.

7 When the kinge hearde that he was wroth and send forth his warryers and distroyed those murtherers and brent vp their cyte.

7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

7 ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐκεῖνος ὠργίσθη, καὶ πέμψας τὰ στρατεύματα αὐτοῦ ἀπώλεσε τοὺς φονεῖς ἐκείνους καὶ τὴν πόλιν αὐτῶν ἐνέπρησε.

8 Then sayde he to his servauutes: the weddinge was prepared. But they which were bydden were not worthy.

8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.

8 τότε λέγει τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ· ὁ μὲν γάμος ἕτοιμός ἐστιν, οἱ δὲ κεκλημένοι οὐκ ἦσαν ἄξιοι·

9 Go ye therfore out into the hyewayes and as many as ye finde byd them to the mariage.

9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’

9 πορεύεσθε οὖν ἐπὶ τὰς διεξόδους τῶν ὁδῶν, καὶ ὅσους ἐὰν εὕρητε καλέσατε εἰς τοὺς γάμους.

10 The seruauntes wet out into the hiewayes and gaddered to gedder as many as they coulde fynde both good and bad and the weddinge was furnysshed with gestes.

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.

10 καὶ ἐξελθόντες οἱ δοῦλοι ἐκεῖνοι εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς συνήγαγον πάντας ὅσους εὗρον, πονηρούς τε καὶ ἀγαθούς· καὶ ἐπλήσθη ὁ γάμος ἀνακειμένων.

11 Then the kynge came in to viset the gestes and spyed there a man which had not on a weddinge garment

11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,

11 εἰσελθὼν δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς θεάσασθαι τοὺς ἀνακειμένους εἶδεν ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπον οὐκ ἐνδεδυμένον ἔνδυμα γάμου,

12 and sayde vnto him: frende how fortuned it that thou camest in hither and hast not on a weddyng garment? And he was even spechlesse.

12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.

12 καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· ἑταῖρε, πῶς εἰσῆλθες ὧδε μὴ ἔχων ἔνδυμα γάμου; ὁ δὲ ἐφιμώθη.

13 Then sayde the kynge to his ministers: take and bynde hym hand and fote and caste hym into vtter darcknes there shalbe wepinge and gnasshinge of teth.

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.’

13 τότε εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς διακόνοις· δήσαντες αὐτοῦ πόδας καὶ χεῖρας ἄρατε αὐτὸν καὶ ἐκβάλετε εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.

14 For many are called and feawe be chosen.

14 For many are called, but few chosen.”

14 πολλοὶ γάρ εἰσι κλητοί, ὀλίγοι δὲ ἐκλεκτοί.

15 Then went the Pharises and toke counsell how they might tagle him in his wordes.

15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.

15 Τότε πορευθέντες οἱ Φαρισαῖοι συμβούλιον ἔλαβον ὅπως αὐτὸν παγιδεύσωσιν ἐν λόγῳ.

16 And they sent vnto him their disciples with Herodes servauntes sayinge: Master we knowe that thou are true and teachest the waye of god trulie nether carest for eny man for thou consydrest not menes estate.

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.

16 καὶ ἀποστέλλουσιν αὐτῷ τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτῶν μετὰ τῶν Ἡρῳδιανῶν λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀληθὴς εἶ καὶ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ διδάσκεις, καὶ οὐ μέλει σοι περὶ οὐδενός· οὐ γὰρ βλέπεις εἰς πρόσωπον ἀνθρώπων·

17 Tell vs therfore: how thynkest thou? Is it lawfull to geve tribute vnto Cesar or not?

17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

17 εἰπὲ οὖν ἡμῖν, τί σοι δοκεῖ; ἔξεστι δοῦναι κῆνσον Καίσαρι ἢ οὔ;

18 Iesus perceaved their wikednes and sayde: Why tempte ye me ye ypocrites?

18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

18 γνοὺς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὴν πονηρίαν αὐτῶν εἶπε· τί με πειράζετε, ὑποκριταί;

19 Let me se the tribute money. And they toke hym a peny.

19 Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.

19 ἐπιδείξατέ μοι τὸ νόμισμα τοῦ κήνσου. οἱ δὲ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ δηνάριον.

20 And he sayde vnto them: whose is this ymage and superscripcion?

20 He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”

20 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· τίνος ἡ εἰκὼν αὕτη καὶ ἡ ἐπιγραφή;

21 They sayde vnto him: Cesars. Then sayde he vnto them. Geve therfore to Cesar that which is Cesars: and geve vnto god that which is goddes.

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.”

21 λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Καίσαρος. τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς· ἀπόδοτε οὖν τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι καὶ τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῷ Θεῷ.

22 When they hearde that they marveled and lefte hym and went there waye.

22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.

22 καὶ ἀκούσαντες ἐθαύμασαν, καὶ ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ἀπῆλθον.

23 The same daye the Saduces came to him (which saye that there is no resurreccion) and axed him

23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,

23 Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ Σαδδουκαῖοι, οἱ λέγοντες μὴ εἶναι ἀνάστασιν, καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν

24 sayinge: Master Moses bade yf a man dye havinge no chyldre that the brother mary his wyfe and reyse vp seed vnto his brother.

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.’

24 λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, Μωσῆς εἶπεν, ἐάν τις ἀποθάνῃ μὴ ἔχων τέκνα, ἐπιγαμβρεύσει ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀναστήσει σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.

25 Ther were with vs seven brethren and the fyrste maried and deceased with oute yssue and lefte his wyfe vnto his brother.

25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.

25 ἦσαν δὲ παρ᾽ ἡμῖν ἑπτὰ ἀδελφοί· καὶ ὁ πρῶτος γαμήσας ἐτελεύτησε, καὶ μὴ ἔχων σπέρμα ἀφῆκε τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ·

26 Lyke wise the seconde and the thryd vnto the sevethe.

26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.

26 ὁμοίως καὶ ὁ δεύτερος καὶ ὁ τρίτος, ἕως τῶν ἑπτά.

27 Laste of all the woman dyed also.

27 After them all, the woman died.

27 ὕστερον δὲ πάντων ἀπέθανε καὶ ἡ γυνή.

28 Now in the resurreccion whose wyfe shall she be of the seven? For all had her.

28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”

28 ἐν τῇ οὖν ἀναστάσει τίνος τῶν ἑπτὰ ἔσται ἡ γυνή; πάντες γὰρ ἔσχον αὐτήν.

29 Iesus answered and sayde vnto the: ye are deceaved and vnderstonde not the scriptures nor yet the power of God.

29 But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

29 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πλανᾶσθε μὴ εἰδότες τὰς γραφὰς μηδὲ τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ Θεοῦ.

30 For in the resurreccion they nether mary nor are maryed: but are as the angels of God in heven.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.

30 ἐν γὰρ τῇ ἀναστάσει οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε ἐκγαμίζονται, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἄγγελοι Θεοῦ ἐν οὐρανῷ εἰσι.

31 As touchynge the resurreccion of the deed: have ye not redde what is sayde vnto you of God which sayeth:

31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

31 περὶ δὲ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῶν νεκρῶν οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑμῖν ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγοντος,

32 I am Abrahams God and Ysaacks God and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the deed: but of the lyvinge.

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.”

32 ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰακώβ; οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ Θεὸς Θεὸς νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων.

33 And when the people hearde that they were astonyed at his doctrine.

33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

33 καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ὄχλοι ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ.

34 When the Pharises had hearde how that he had put the Saduces to silence they drewe to gedder

34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.

34 Οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι ἀκούσαντες ὅτι ἐφίμωσε τοὺς Σαδδουκαίους, συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό,

35 and one of them which was a doctoure of lawe axed a question temptinge him and sayinge:

35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.

35 καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν, νομικός, πειράζων αὐτὸν καὶ λέγων·

36 Master which is the chefe commaundment in the lawe?

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”

36 διδάσκαλε, ποία ἐντολὴ μεγάλη ἐν τῷ νόμῳ;

37 Iesus sayde vnto him: love the Lorde thy God with all thine herte with all thy soule and with all thy mynde.

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.’

37 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἔφη αὐτῷ· ἀγαπήσεις Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ σου καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ψυχῇ σου καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ διανοίᾳ σου.

38 This is the fyrst and the chefe comaundement.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

38 αὕτη ἐστὶ πρώτη καὶ μεγάλη ἐντολή.

39 And ther is another lyke vnto this. Love thyne neghbour as thy selfe.

39 A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

39 δευτέρα δὲ ὁμοία αὐτῇ· ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν.

40 In these two commaundemetes hange all the lawe and the Prophetes.

40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”

40 ἐν ταύταις ταῖς δυσὶν ἐντολαῖς ὅλος ὁ νόμος καὶ οἱ προφῆται κρέμανται.

41 Whyll the Pharises were gaddered togeder Iesus axed the sayinge:

41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

41 Συνηγμένων δὲ τῶν Φαρισαίων ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς

42 what thinke ye of Christ? Whose sonne is he? They sayde vnto him: the sonne of David.

42 saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”

42 λέγων· τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ περὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ; τίνος υἱός ἐστι; λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· τοῦ Δαυΐδ.

43 He sayde vnto them: how then doeth David in spirite call him Lorde sayinge?

43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

43 λέγει αὐτοῖς· πῶς οὖν Δαυῒδ ἐν Πνεύματι Κύριον αὐτὸν καλεῖ λέγων,

44 The Lorde sayde to my Lorde syt on my right honde: tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole.

44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?

44 εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τῷ Κυρίῳ μου, κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου;

45 Yf David call him Lorde: how is he then his sonne?

45 “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”

45 εἰ οὖν Δαυῒδ καλεῖ αὐτὸν Κύριον, πῶς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἐστι;

46 And none coulde answere him ageyne one worde: nether dueste eny from that daye forth axe him eny moo questions.

46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.

46 καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο αὐτῷ ἀποκριθῆναι λόγον, οὐδὲ ἐτόλμησέ τις ἀπ᾽ ἐκείνης τῆς ἡμέρας ἐπερωτῆσαι αὐτὸν οὐκέτι.

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).

Commentary 22:2 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XL)
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.

Commentary 22:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXIX)
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.
