2 The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son.	2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3 And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage; and they would not come.	3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4 Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come ye to the marriage.	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.

9 Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.	9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests.	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 the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.	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 to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent.	12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13 Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.	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.	14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

19 Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny.	19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?	20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's.	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.

25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to 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 In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh.	26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died also.	27 And last of all the woman died also.
28 At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her.	28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.	29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
