But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude; because they took him for a prophet. 45 der. 1 MATTHEW XXII. And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by 2 parables, and said ; The kingdom of heaven is like unto a 3 certain king, which made a marriage for his son, and sent forth his servants to call them that !were bidden to A the wedding; and they would not come. Again he sent forth other servants, saying ; Tell them which are bidden; Behold, I have prepared my dinner ; my oxen and my fat lings are killed, and all things are ready; come unto the 5 marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways; 6 one to his farm, another to his merchandise. And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and 7 slew them. But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth; and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murder8 ers, and burned up their city. Then saith he to his ser LUKE XX. come the head of the cor18 ner ?” Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be bro- shall fall, it will grind him to 19 powder.

Go ye therefore into the highways, 10 and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all, as many as they found, both bad and good; 11 and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man 12 which had not on a wedding garment; and he saith unto · him ; Friend, how comest thou in hither, not having a wed13 ding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants ; Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weep14 ing and gnashing of teeth.

Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked 28 him, saying ; Master, Moses wrote unto us, “ if any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed 29 unto his brother.” There were therefore seven breth 27 26 er. 29 her. nor MATTHEW XXII.
