Matt. 22 Matt. 22:1–14 The parable of the marriage of the king’s son: the unworthiness of those that were first bidden: others called in their room: the punishment of one that came without a wedding garment. Matt.

Luke hath this parable, Matt. 14:16–24, which hath made divers interpreters think that Matthew hath put it out of its due order; for Luke reports it as spoken long before, and that not in the temple, but at a Pharisee’s house where he was at dinner, and upon occasion of one of them saying, Blessed…

Mark saith, Mark 12:13, They send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. Luke saith, Luke 20:20, They watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto…

Mark hath the same, Mark 12:14. So hath Luke, Luke 20:21. There is a great variety of opinions, who these Herodions were; we read of them in an early consultation against Christ with the Pharisees, Mark 3:6.

Mark hath the same, Mark 12:15–17. So hath Luke, Luke 20:23–26. Our Saviour, saith Luke, perceived their craftiness, how subtlety they went about to entrap him. He calls them to show him the tribute money.

Mark thus repeats the same history, Mark 12:18–22. So doth Luke, Luke 20:27–33. Concerning the Sadducees we have before spoken; they were a sect amongst the Jews much differing from the Pharisees, as may be seen, Acts 23:8.

Mark hath the same, Mark 12:24–25, only he propounds it as a question, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know, not the Scriptures? Luke saith, Luke 20:34–35, And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: but they which shall be accounted worthy…

Mark hath the same, Mark 12:26–27; so hath Luke, Luke 20:37–38; only Mark and Luke mention the time when God spake these words—in the bush, that is, when God appeared to Moses in the burning bush, Ex. 3:6; and Luke addeth, for all live unto him.

Mark relates this history more fully, Mark 12:28–31. And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel;…

Mark hath this story shortly, repeating only the substance of it, Mark 12:35–37; adding nothing to it, but concluding, And the common people heard him gladly. Luke repeateth it as shortly, Luke 20:41, Luke 20:44.
