# Chapter 20
|
|
1. *"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.*
|
|
2. *Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.*
|
|
3. *And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,*
|
|
4. *and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.*
|
|
5. *Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.*
|
|
6. *And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?'*
|
|
7. *They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'*
|
|
|
|
8. *"So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.'*
|
|
9. *And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.*
|
|
10. *But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.*
|
|
11. *And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,*
|
|
12. *saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.'*
|
|
13. *But he answered one of them and said, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?*
|
|
14. *Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.*
|
|
15. *Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?'*
|
|
16. *So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen."*Jesus a Third Time Predicts His Death and Resurrection
|
|
|
|
17. Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them,
|
|
18. *"Behold, we are going 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,*
|
|
19. *and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again."*Greatness Is Serving
|
|
|
|
20. Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.
|
|
|
|
21. And He said to her, *"What do you wish?"*
|
|
She said to Him, "Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom."
|
|
|
|
22. But Jesus answered and said, *"You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"*
|
|
They said to Him, "We are able."
|
|
|
|
23. So He said to them, *"You will indeed drink 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 is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father."*
|
|
|
|
24. And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers.
|
|
25. But Jesus called them to Himself and said, *"You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.*
|
|
26. *Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.*
|
|
27. *And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave--*
|
|
28. *just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."*Two Blind Men Receive Their Sight
|
|
|
|
29. Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.
|
|
30. And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, "Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!"
|
|
|
|
31. Then the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, "Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!"
|
|
|
|
32. So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, *"What do you want Me to do for you?"*
|
|
|
|
33. They said to Him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened."
|
|
34. So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.
