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