Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day two hundred and sixty-four. You guys, you realize. We are 101 days away from our conclusion, but we are deep in it right now. We're reading Matthew chapter 22, 23, and 24. Also Proverbs chapter 19 verses 17 through 20. I don't know. Hopefully you all enjoy. I just love the fact that we just get to listen and soak in one gospel at a time, kind of like we did for John and for Mark, just for Matthew.
He's one of my favorite gospels. He's one of my top four favorite gospels. And uh it's just so good. Good to be able to just see Jesus and hear Jesus speak and just watch him how he lives. And so that's what we're doing. As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the revised Standard Version Second Catholic Edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

We're reading Matthew twenty two, twenty three and twenty four, Proverbs chapter nineteen, verses seventeen through twenty.
The Gospel of Matthew, Chapter twenty two. The Parable of the Marriage Feast. And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a marriage feast for his son, and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come. Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have made ready my dinner, my oxen, and my fat calves are killed, and everything is ready. Come to the marriage feast. But they made light of it, and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
Then he said to his servants The wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy. Go therefore to the streets and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find. And those servants went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good, so the wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment, and he said to him, Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants, Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called But few are chosen. The question about paying taxes.
Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how to entangle him in his talk, and they sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God truthfully, and care for no man, for you do not regard the position of men. Tell us then what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the money for the tax. And they brought him a coin. And Jesus said to them, Whose likeness and inscription is this?
How does the Parable of the Marriage Feast illustrate the danger of preaching without practice?
They said Caesars. And he said to them Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him. And went away. The question about man's resurrection. The same day, Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, saying, Teacher, Moses said, If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up children for his brother.
