| |
| | Mat 20:1 | `For the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who went forth with the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard,
| |
| | Mat 20:2 | and having agreed with the workmen for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
| |
| | Mat 20:3 | `And having gone forth about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle,
| |
| | Mat 20:4 | and to these he said, Go ye -- also ye -- to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous I will give you;
| |
| | Mat 20:5 | and they went away. `Again, having gone forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did in like manner.
| |
| | Mat 20:6 | And about the eleventh hour, having gone forth, he found others standing idle, and saith to them, Why here have ye stood all the day idle?
| |
| | Mat 20:7 | they say to him, Because no one did hire us; he saith to them, Go ye -- ye also -- to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous ye shall receive.
| |
| | Mat 20:8 | `And evening having come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the workmen, and pay them the reward, having begun from the last -- unto the first.
| |
| | Mat 20:9 | And they of about the eleventh hour having come, did receive each a denary.
| |
| | Mat 20:10 | `And the first having come, did suppose that they shall receive more, and they received, they also, each a denary,
| |
| | Mat 20:11 | and having received `it', they were murmuring against the householder, saying,
| |
| | Mat 20:12 | that These, the last, wrought one hour, and thou didst make them equal to us, who were bearing the burden of the day -- and the heat.
| |
| | Mat 20:13 | `And he answering said to one of them, Comrade, I do no unrighteousness to thee; for a denary didst not thou agree with me?
| |
| | Mat 20:14 | take that which is thine, and go; and I will to give to this, the last, also as to thee;
| |
| | Mat 20:15 | is it not lawful to me to do what I will in mine own? is thine eye evil because I am good?
| |
| | Mat 20:16 | So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, and few chosen.'
| |
| | Mat 20:17 | And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples by themselves in the way, and said to them,
| |
| | Mat 20:18 | `Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes,
| |
| | Mat 20:19 | and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify, and the third day he will rise again.'
| |
| | Mat 20:20 | Then came near to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing and asking something from him,
| |
| | Mat 20:21 | and he said to her, `What wilt thou?' She saith to him, `Say, that they may sit -- these my two sons -- one on thy right hand, and one on the left, in thy reign.'
| |
| | Mat 20:22 | And Jesus answering said, `Ye have not known what ye ask for yourselves; are ye able to drink of the cup that I am about to drink? and with the baptism that I am baptized with, to be baptized?' They say to him, `We are able.'
| |
| | Mat 20:23 | And he saith to them, `Of my cup indeed ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with ye shall be baptized; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but -- to those for whom it hath been prepared by my father.'
| |
| | Mat 20:24 | And the ten having heard, were much displeased with the two brothers,
| |
| | Mat 20:25 | and Jesus having called them near, said, `Ye have known that the rulers of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those great do exercise authority over them,
| |
| | Mat 20:26 | but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your ministrant;
| |
| | Mat 20:27 | and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant;
| |
| | Mat 20:28 | even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'
| |
| | Mat 20:29 | And they going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude,
| |
| | Mat 20:30 | and lo, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard that Jesus doth pass by, cried, saying, `Deal kindly with us, sir -- Son of David.'
| |
| | Mat 20:31 | And the multitude charged them that they might be silent, and they cried out the more, saying, `Deal kindly with us sir -- Son of David.'
| |
| | Mat 20:32 | And having stood, Jesus called them, and said, `What will ye `that' I may do to you?'
| |
| | Mat 20:33 | they say to him, `Sir, that our eyes may be opened;'
| |
| | Mat 20:34 | and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
