Book 40 : MATTHEW - Chapter 020
020:001
And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day,
he sent them into his vineyard
020:002
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing
idle in the marketplace
020:003
And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and
whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way
020:004
Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did
likewise
020:005
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
020:006
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
020:007
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
020:008
And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour,
they received every man a penny
020:009
But when the first came, they supposed that they should have
received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
020:010
And when they had received it, they murmured against the
goodman of the house
020:011
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
020:012
But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no
wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny
020:013
Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this
last, even as unto thee
020:014
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is
thine eye evil, because I am good
020:015
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be
called, but few chosen
020:016
And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples
apart in the way, and said unto them
020:017
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
020:018
And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge,
and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again
020:019
Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her
sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him
020:020
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
020:021
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
020:022
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
020:023
And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation
against the two brethren
020:024
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
020:025
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great
among you, let him be your minister
020:026
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your
servant
020:027
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many
020:028
And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed
him
020:029
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
020:030
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
020:031
And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye
that I shall do unto you
020:032
They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened
020:033
So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and
immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him
