1 Jesus told a new story to the people. ️ 2 <jesus>God’s home is like a king who made a big wedding party for his son.</jesus> 3 <jesus>The king sent helpers to call the first guests, but they did not come.</jesus> ♂️❌ 4 <jesus>He sent more helpers. He said, “Dinner is ready. My cows are cooked. Come to the party.”</jesus> ️ 5 <jesus>But the guests did not care. One went to his farm. One went to his shop.</jesus> 6 <jesus>Other men hurt the helpers. They even killed them.</jesus> ✋⚔️ 7 <jesus>The king got very mad. He sent his men. They stopped the bad men. The town was burned.</jesus> ️ 8 <jesus>He said, “The party is ready. The first guests did not want it.”</jesus> ✅ 9 <jesus>Go to the road. Ask all the people you see to come.</jesus> ️ 10 <jesus>The helpers went. They brought all, bad and good. The big room was full.</jesus> ♂️♀️️ 11 <jesus>The king came in. He saw a man with no party coat.</jesus> ❌ 12 <jesus>He said, “Friend, how did you come in with no party coat?” The man had no words.</jesus> ❓ 13 <jesus>“Tie him. Take him out to the dark.” He cried. It was very sad.</jesus> 14 <jesus>Many are asked. Few are picked.</jesus> ✅ 15 Then some rule men (Pharisees) made a plan to trap Jesus with words. ️️ 16 They sent their men with the king’s men (Herodians). They said to Jesus, “Teacher, You are true. You teach God’s way. You do not fear men.” 17 They asked Jesus, “Should we pay tax to Caesar, or not?” ❓ 18 Jesus knew their bad plan. He said, <jesus>Why do you test Me, you fake men?</jesus> ⚠️ 19 <jesus>Show Me a coin for the tax.</jesus> They brought Him a coin. 20 <jesus>Whose face and name are on this?</jesus> 21 They said, “Caesar’s.” Jesus said, <jesus>Give Caesar what is his. Give God what is His.</jesus> ➡️️ 22 They heard this. They were surprised. They left Jesus. ♂️♀️ 23 That day, some other rule men (Sadducees), who say there is no new life, came to Jesus. ❌ 24 They said, “Moses said if a man dies with no child, his brother must marry the wife to have a child.” 25 They told a story: “There were seven brothers. The first died. No child. The wife married brother 2.” 7️⃣ 26 “This kept going to brother 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.” 7️⃣ 27 “Then the woman died too.” ⚰️ 28 “In the new life, whose wife is she? All seven were her men.” ❓ 29 Jesus said, <jesus>You are wrong. You do not know God’s book. You do not know God’s power.</jesus> ⚡❌ 30 <jesus>In the new life, people do not marry. They are like angels with God.</jesus> ☁️ 31 <jesus>And about the new life, have you read what God said?</jesus> 32 <jesus>God said, “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” God is God of the living, not the dead.</jesus> 33 The crowd heard this. They were surprised at His teaching. 34 The Pharisees heard He made the other group quiet. They met again. 35 One law man asked Jesus a test question. ❓⚖️ 36 He said, “Teacher, what rule is the biggest?” ❓ 37 Jesus said, <jesus>Love the Lord God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all you.</jesus> ❤️ 38 <jesus>This is the first and big rule.</jesus> 1️⃣⭐ 39 <jesus>The next is like it: Love your neighbor like you love you.</jesus> ❤️ 40 <jesus>All God’s rules and books hang on these two.</jesus> 2️⃣ 41 While the Pharisees were there, Jesus asked them a question. ❓ 42 He said, <jesus>What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?</jesus> They said, “David’s son.” 43 He said, <jesus>Then why did David, by God’s Holy Spirit, call Him Lord?</jesus> ️ 44 <jesus>“The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit by Me. I will put your bad men down by your feet.’”</jesus> ➡️ 45 <jesus>If David calls Him Lord, how is He his son?</jesus> ❓ 46 No one could answer Jesus. No one asked Him more.
