   Bible Reading for October 11   
      
   Matthew Chapter 22   
      
   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.   
      
   Matthew Chapter 23   
      
   1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,   
      
   2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:   
      
   3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do;   
   but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.   
      
   4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on   
   men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of   
   their fingers.   
      
   5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad   
   their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,   
      
   6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the   
   synagogues,   
      
   7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.   
      
   8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and   
   all ye are brethren.   
      
   9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father,   
   which is in heaven.   
      
   10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.   
      
   11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.   
      
   12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall   
   humble himself shall be exalted.   
      
   13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up   
   the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves,   
   neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.   
      
   14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour   
   widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall   
   receive the greater damnation.   
      
   15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea   
   and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold   
   more the child of hell than yourselves.   
      
   16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by   
   the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the   
   temple, he is a debtor!   
      
   17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple   
   that sanctifieth the gold?   
      
   18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever   
   sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.   
      
   19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar   
   that sanctifieth the gift?
