Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:4 - 'Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Lo, my dinner I prepared, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready, come ye to the marriage-feasts;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:5 - and they, having disregarded it, went away, the one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:6 - and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, did insult and slay them.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:7 - 'And the king having heard, was wroth, and having sent forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their city he set on fire;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:8 - then saith he to his servants, The marriage-feast indeed is ready, and those called were not worthy,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:9 - be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as ye may find, call ye to the marriage-feasts.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:10 - 'And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, did gather all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the marriage-feast apartment was filled with those reclining.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:12 - and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was speechless.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:13 - 'Then said the king to the ministrants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him up and cast forth to the outer darkness, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:14 - for many are called, and few chosen.'

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:26 - in like manner also the second, and the third, unto the seventh,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:27 - and last of all died also the woman;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:28 - therefore in the rising again, of which of the seven shall she be wife -- for all had her?'
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:29 - And Jesus answering said to them, 'Ye go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God;

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:31 - 'And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:37 - And Jesus said to him, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding --
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:38 - this is a first and great command;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:39 - and the second is like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 22:40 - on these -- the two commands -- all the law and the prophets do hang.'
