1
For◦ the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a householder, who◦ went··out▵ in··the··morning to hire workers into his vineyard.
2
And◦ when he had agreed with the workers for a denarius1 a day, he sent◦ them into his vineyard.
3
And going··out▵ around the third hour, he saw◦ others standing in the market idle;
4
and· he said◦ to ·these▵, Go◦ ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is just, I will give you. And◦ they departed◦.
5
Again coming··out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise◦.
6
And◦ going··out▵ about the eleventh hour, he found others standing idle, and says to them, Why do you stand here all the day idle?
7
They say unto him, Because no··one has hired us. He says to them, Go◦ ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is just, you shall receive.
8
And◦ when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward◦, Call the workers, and pay them the hire, beginning from the last unto▵ the first.
9
And when they came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they received each◦ a denarius.
10
And◦ when the first came they supposed that they should receive more, and they also received each◦ a denarius.
11
And◦ receiving, they murmured against the householder,
12
saying, These last have done one◦ hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who have borne the weight of the day, and the heat.
13
But◦ he answering said◦ to one of··them, Fellow, I am· not ·unjust to thee; didst thou not agree··with me for a denarius?
14
Take◦ thine own and go··thy··way; but◦ I will to give to this last one even as unto thee.
15
Is it not permitted▵ for me to do what I will with what is mine? Is thine eye wicked, because I◦ am good?
16
So the last shall be first, and the first last; for◦ many are called, but◦ few chosen.
17
And Jesus, going··up to◦ Jerusalem, took··aside the twelve disciples by▫ themselves▵ in the way, and said◦ to them,
18
Behold◦, we go··up to◦ Jerusalem; and the Son of Man shall be delivered··up to the chief··priests and scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death,
19
and shall deliver· Him ·up to◦ the nations to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day He shall rise··again◦.
20
Then came··to Him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, worshiping, and asking a certain thing of▵ Him.
21
And◦ He said◦ to her, What◦ willest thou? She says to Him, Say◦ that◦ these my two sons may sit, one on▫ Thy right··hand and one on▫ the left▵, in Thy kingdom.
22
And◦ Jesus answering said◦, You know◦ not what◦ you ask. Are· you ·able to drink the cup which I◦ am··about to drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I◦ am baptized with? They say to Him, We are··able.
23
And He says to them, You shall indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism which I◦ am baptized with, but◦ to sit on▫ My right··hand, and My left▵, is not Mine to give, but to those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.
24
And when the ten heard, they were··indignant toward◦ the two brothers.
25
But◦ Jesus calling them said◦, You know◦ that the rulers of the nations exercise··lordship··over them, and the great exercise··authority··over them.
26
But◦ it shall not be so among you; but whoever wills to become great among you, let him be your minister;
27
and whoever wills to be first among you, let him be your servant;
28
as◦ the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His soul a ransom for▫ many.
29
And going··out from Jericho, a crowd of many followed Him.
30
And behold◦, two blind men sitting by the way, hearing that Jesus passed··by◦, cried··out, saying, Have··mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.
31
And◦ the crowd rebuked them, that◦ they should be··silent; but◦ they cried··out more··greatly, saying, Have··mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.
32
And Jesus standing called◦ them, and said◦, What◦ do you will that I should do unto you?
33
They say to Him, Lord, that◦ our eyes may be opened.
34
And◦ Jesus, being moved··with··compassion2, touched their eyes; and straightway their eyes received sight3, and they followed Him.
