9. ‘Therefore go into the street corners, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding feast.’

10. “And those servants went out into the street corners and gathered all whom they found, both wicked and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11. “And when the sovereign came in to view the guests, he saw there a man who had not put on a wedding garment,

12. and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not having a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless.

13. “Then the sovereign said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him out into the outer darkness – there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

14. “For many are called, but few are chosen.”

15. Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap Him in His words.

16. And they sent to Him their taught ones with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of Elohim in truth, and it does not concern You about anyone, for You are not partial to any man.

17. “Then say to us, what do You think? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

18. But knowing their wickedness, יהושע said, “Why do you try Me, you hypocrites?

19. “Show Me the coin of the tax.” And they brought Him a silver piece.

20. And He said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?”

21. They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” And He said to them, “Then give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to Elohim what is Elohim’s.”

22. And having heard, they marvelled, and left Him and went away.

23. On that day Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,

24. saying, “Teacher, Mosheh said that if anyone should die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise offspring for his brother.
