| Matthew 22:1 | Once again Jesus spoke to (autois | αὐτοῖς | dat pl masc3rd) them (autois | αὐτοῖς | dat pl masc3rd) in parables, saying: |
| Matthew 22:2 | “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding feast for his (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) son |
| Matthew 22:3 | and sent his (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) servants to call those who had been invited to the feast; but they would not come. |
| Matthew 22:5 | But they paid no attention and went on their way, one to his farm, another to his (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) business, |
| Matthew 22:6 | while the rest seized his (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. |
| Matthew 22:7 | The king was furious! He sent his (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their (autōn | αὐτῶν | gen pl masc3rd) city to the ground. |

| Matthew 22:15 | Then the Pharisees went out and plotted how they could trap him (auton | αὐτόν | acc sg masc3rd) in what he said. |
| Matthew 22:16 | And they sent their (autōn | αὐτῶν | gen pl masc3rd) disciples to him (autō | αὐτῷ | dat sg masc3rd) along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God in truth, and show deference to no one, for you are not swayed by appearances. |
| Matthew 22:18 | But Jesus, perceiving their (autōn | αὐτῶν | gen pl masc3rd) evil intent, said, “Why are you testing me, you hypocrites? |
| Matthew 22:19 | Show me the coin used for the tax.” So they brought him (autō | αὐτῷ | dat sg masc3rd) a denarius. |
| Matthew 22:20 | And Jesus said to them (autois | αὐτοῖς | dat pl masc3rd), “Whose image is this, and whose inscription?” |
| Matthew 22:21 | They answered “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them (autois | αὐτοῖς | dat pl masc3rd), “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” |
