Matthew

Again, he told stories to people. He said,

"The kingdom of Allah is like a king who held a banquet on the occasion of the wedding of his son.

He sent his slaves to call those who had accepted his invitation to the banquet, but those people refused to come.

So he sent other slaves, saying: Tell the people who were invited: I have prepared the dinner. I have slaughtered the bulls and the feed calves. Everything is ready. Come to the banquet.

But they ignored the matter. One went to his farm, and another to his business.

The rest grabbed the slaves of the king, insulted them, and killed them.

The king was angry. He sent his soldiers, who destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

Then he told his slaves: The wedding banquet is ready, but the people who were invited were not worthy of it.

Go to the main roads and invite everyone you find to the banquet.

So they went to the streets and gathered everyone they found in the road, whether they were unrighteous or righteous. Thus the wedding hall was filled with guests.

The king entered to check on the guests. He saw a man who was not wearing a wedding robe.

He asked him: 'Our friend, how did you enter the hall without putting on the wedding robe?' He was silent.

The king ordered his guards: 'Tie his hands and his feet, and throw him into the outer darkness, where people will cry and grind their teeth.'

Many people are called, but few of them are chosen."

So the Pharisees went out and conspired to catch him in a word he would say.

So they sent their followers with members of the party of Herod. They said, "Teacher, we know that you are honest. You teach Al-Sirat Al-Mustaqim of Allah with truth. The opinions of people do not matter to you, and you do not pay attention to the positions of people.

So tell us your opinion: Is it halal to pay the jizya to Caesar or not?"

Isa understood their malice and said, "You hypocrites, why are you testing me?

Show me the coin of the jizya." So they brought him a dinar.

He said to them, "To whom do this picture and this motto belong?"

They said, "To Caesar." So he told them, "Then give to Caesar what he has the right to, and give Allah what Allah has the right to."

When they heard that, they were amazed. They left him and went on their way.

The Sadducees, who deny Yawm Al-Qiyamah, asked him on the same day,

"Teacher, Allah said by the tongue of Musa: 'If a man dies and has no children, his brother must marry his widow to give a descendant to his dead brother.'

There were seven brothers among us. The oldest one married and died with no descendants. He left his widow to his brother.

The same thing happened with the second, the third, and on to the seventh.

Finally the woman died.

In the hereafter, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be? All of them married her."

Then Isa answered them, "You have gone astray because you are jahil of the kitab and the power of Allah.

In the hereafter, after the resurrection, men do not marry, and women are not given in marriage. Rather, they live forever, like the angels in Al-Janna.

As for the resurrection of the dead, did you not read what Allah told you in the Tawrat?

Allah said: 'I am the Rabb of Ibrahim and the Rabb of Ishaq and the Rabb of Yacoub.' Allah is not the Rabb of dead people. He is the Rabb of living people."

When the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.

When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered.

One of the scholars of the Tawrat asked him a question to test him,

"Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Tawrat?"

He told him, "Love Allah your Mawla with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

This is the first and greatest of the commandments.

The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.

These two commandments are the pillars of all the Tawrat and all the scrolls of the anbiya."

Then Isa asked the Pharisees who were gathered,

"What is your opinion about the expected Al-Masih? Whose Ibn is he?" They answered, "Ibn Dawood."

He said, "Then how does Dawood call him 'Mawla' by the inspiration of Holy Ruh Allah? He said,

'Al-Mawla said to my mawla: Sit at my right side until I put your enemies under your feet.'

If Dawood calls him 'My mawla', how can he be his Ibn?"

No one was able to answer him with a word. So from that time on, no one had the courage to ask him anything.
