20:1 For the kingdom of
heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to
hire labourers into his vineyard.
20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he
sent them into his vineyard.
20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing
idle in the marketplace,
20:4 And said unto them;
Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their
way.
20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did
likewise.
20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others
standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
20:7 They say unto him,
Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and
whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his
steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the
first.
20:9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour,
they received every man a penny.
20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have
received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
20:11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the
goodman of the house,
20:12 Saying, These last
have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the
burden and heat of the day.
20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no
wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
20:14 Take that thine
is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is
thine eye evil, because I am good?
20:16 So the last shall
be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
20:17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said
unto them,
20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
20:19 And shall deliver
him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he
shall rise again.
20:20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and
desiring a certain thing of him.
20:21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto
him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the
left, in thy kingdom.
20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye
able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I
am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and
be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on
my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my
Father.
20:24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two
brethren.
20:25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the
princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise
authority upon them.
20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great
among you, let him be your minister;
20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
20:28 Even as the Son of
man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for
many.
20:29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
20:30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus
passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried
the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
20:32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye
that I shall do unto you?
20:33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes
may be opened.
20:34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes
received sight, and they followed him.
