Chapter 20
Matthew
20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.
20:2 And when he had agreed with the laborers 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 market-place,
20:4 And said to them, You* also go into the vineyard; and whatever is right, I will give you*. And they departed.
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 says to them, Why do you* stand here all day idle?
20:7 They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, You* also go into the vineyard; and whatever is right, that you* shall receive.
20:8 So when evening had come, the master of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the laborers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last to the first.
20:9 And when those who were hired came about the eleventh hour, they each received a penny.
20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should receive more; and they likewise each received a penny.
20:11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the master of the house.
20:12 Saying, These last have worked but one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.
20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do you no wrong: did you not agree with me for a penny?
20:14 Take that which is your, and depart: I will give to this last, even as to you.
20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own? is your eye evil because I am good?
20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many are called, but few chosen.
20:17 And YASHUWAH going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples separately in the way, and said to them,
20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
20:19 And will deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, scourge, and nail him to the torture stake: and on the third day he will rise again.
20:20 Then the mother of Zebedee's children came to him, with her sons, worshiping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
20:21 And he said to her, What do you wish: She says to him, Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on your right hand, and the other on your left in your kingdom.
20:22 But YASHUWAH answered and said, You* do not know what you* ask. Are you* 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 to him, We are able.
20:23 And he says to them, You* 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 those for whom it is prepared by my Father.
20:24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brothers.
20:25 But YASHUWAH called them to him, and said, You* know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and those who are great exercise authority upon them.
20:26 But it shall not be so among you*: but whoever wishes to be great among you*, let him be your* minister;
20:27 And whoever wishes to be chief among you*, let him be your* servant:
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.
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 YASHUWAH passed by, they cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Master, son of David.
20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Master, son of David.
20:32 And YASHUWAH stood still, and called them, and said, What do you* wish that I shall do to you*?
20:33 They say to him, Master, that our eyes may be opened.
20:34 So YASHUWAH had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
