Chapter 22 of Matthew—King James Version (KJV)

  1. ¶ And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
  2. ¶ The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
  3. ¶ And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
  4. ¶ Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
  5. ¶ But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
  6. ¶ And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
  7. ¶ But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
  8. ¶ Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
  9. ¶ Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
  10. ¶ So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
  11. ¶ And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
  12. ¶ And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
  13. ¶ 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 weeping and gnashing of teeth.
  14. ¶ For many are called, but few are chosen.
  15. ¶ Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
  16. ¶ And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
  17. ¶ Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
  18. ¶ But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
  19. ¶ Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
  20. ¶ And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
  21. ¶ They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
  22. ¶ When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
  23. ¶ The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
  24. ¶ Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
  25. ¶ Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
  26. ¶ Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
  27. ¶ And last of all the woman died also.
  28. ¶ Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
  29. ¶ Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
  30. ¶ For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
  31. ¶ But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
  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.
  33. ¶ And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
  34. ¶ But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
  35. ¶ Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
  36. ¶ Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
  37. ¶ Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
  38. ¶ This is the first and great commandment.
  39. ¶ And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
  40. ¶ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
  41. ¶ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
  42. ¶ Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
  43. ¶ He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
  44. ¶ The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
  45. ¶ If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
  46. ¶ And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
