Mattityahu 22:10-29 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

10. And having gone out to the highways, those ministers congregated everyone they found, rah and tov, and the chasunoh was filled with muzmanim (guests).

11. And the Melech, having entered to see the ones sitting bimesibba (reclining at tish), spotted there a man lacking the attire proper for the chasunoh [see Yn 3:3,5].

12. And the Melech says to him, Chaver, how did you get in here, not having the attire proper for the chasunoh? But the man had nothing to say.

13. Then the King said to the servants, Bind him feet and hands and expel him into the outer choshech, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.

14. For the invited ones are many, but the nivcharim (chosen ones) are few.

15. Then, having departed, the Perushim took counsel together so that they might entrap Yehoshua in his own words.

16. And they are sending to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach their talmidim with the Herodians, saying, Rabbi, we know that you are an ehrliche Yid (a good Jew) and of the Derech Hashem you give Divrei Torah in Emes, and you show no deference to flesh, for you are impartial toward Bnei Adam.

17. Therefore, tell us what to you seems right: is it mutar (permissible) to pay poll tax to Caesar or not?

18. But he, having known their rah (evil), said to them, Why do you test me, tzevuim?

19. Show me the coin of the poll tax. And they brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach a denarius.

20. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Whose image is this and whose title?

21. They say to him, Caesar's. Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Give, therefore, unto Caesar the things of Caesar, and the things of Hashem, give unto Hashem.

22. And having heard this, they were amazed and, having left Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, they went away.

23. On that day some Tzedukim (Sadducees) approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, There is no Techiyas HaMesim! And they interrogated Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach,

24. Saying, Rabbi, Moshe Rabbenu said that if someone dies, not having banim, his brother shall marry his isha (wife) to raise up zera (seed) for his brother.

25. Now there were among us shiva achim (seven brothers), and the first, having married, died. And not having zera (offspring), left his isha to his brother.

26. Likewise, also the second brother, and the third, up to the seventh.

27. And last of all, the isha died.

28. In the Techiyas HaMesim, therefore, she will be the wife of which of the seven? For all had her.

29. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply to them, You are in error, not having known the Kitvei Hakodesh or the gevurat Hashem (power of G-d).
