1"For the kingdom<932> of heaven<3772> is like<3664> a landowner<3617> who<3748> went<1831> out early<260> in the morning<4404> to hire<3409> laborers<2040> for his vineyard<290>.
2"When he had agreed<4856> with the laborers<2040> for a denarius<1220> for the day<2250>, he sent<649> them into his vineyard<290>.
3"And he went<1831> out about<4012> the third<5154> hour<5610> and saw<3708> others<243> standing<2476> idle<692> in the market<58> place<58>;
4and to those<1565> he said<3004>, 'You also<2532> go<5217> into the vineyard<290>, and whatever<3739><1437> is right<1342> I will give<1325> you.' And so they went<565>.
5"Again<3825> he went<1831> out about<4012> the sixth<1623> and the ninth<1729> hour<5610>, and did<4160> the same<5615> thing<5615>.
6"And about<4012> the eleventh<1734> hour he went<1831> out and found<2147> others<243> standing<2476> around; and he *said<3004> to them, 'Why<5101> have you been standing<2476> here<5602> idle<692> all<3650> day<2250> long?'
7"They *said<3004> to him, 'Because<3754> no<3762> one<3762> hired<3409> us.' He *said<3004> to them, 'You go<5217> into the vineyard<290> too<2532>.'
8"When evening<3798> came<1096>, the owner<2962> of the vineyard<290> *said<3004> to his foreman<2012>, 'Call<2564> the laborers<2040> and pay<591> them their wages<3408>, beginning<757> with the last<2078> group to the first<4413>.'
9"When<2532> those<3588> hired about<4012> the eleventh<1734> hour<5610> came<2064>, each<303> one<303> received<2983> a denarius<1220>.
10"When those<3588> hired first<4413> came<2064>, they thought<3543> that they would receive<2983> more<4183>; but each<303> of them also<2532> received<2983> a denarius<1220>.
11"When they received<2983> it, they grumbled<1111> at the landowner<3617>,
12saying<3004>, 'These<3778> last<2078> men<2078> have worked<4160> only one<1520> hour<5610>, and you have made<4160> them equal<2470> to us who<3588> have borne<941> the burden<922> and the scorching<2742> heat<2742> of the day<2250>.'
13"But he answered<611> and said<3004> to one<1520> of them, 'Friend<2083>, I am doing<91> you no<3756> wrong<91>; did you not agree<4856> with me for a denarius<1220>?
14'Take<142> what<3588> is yours<4674> and go<5217>, but I wish<2309> to give<1325> to this<3778> last<2078> man<2078> the same<2532> as to you.
15'Is it not lawful<1832> for me to do<4160> what<3739> I wish<2309> with what<3588> is my own<1699>? Or<2228> is your eye<3788> envious<4190> because<3754> I am<1510> generous<18>?'
16"So<3779> the last<2078> shall be first<4413>, and the first<4413> last<2078>."
17As Jesus<2424> was about<3195> to go<305> up to Jerusalem<2414>, He took<3880> the twelve<1427> disciples aside by themselves<2398>, and on the way<3598> He said<3004> to them,
18"Behold<2400>, we are going<305> up to Jerusalem<2414>; and the Son<5207> of Man<444> will be delivered<3860> to the chief<749> priests<749> and scribes<1122>, and they will condemn<2632> Him to death<2288>,
19and will hand<3860> Him over to the Gentiles<1484> to mock<1702> and scourge<3146> and crucify<4717> Him, and on the third<5154> day<2250> He will be raised<1453> up."
20Then<5119> the mother<3384> of the sons<5207> of Zebedee<2199> came<4334> to Jesus with her sons<5207>, bowing<4352> down<4352> and making<154> a request<154> of Him.
21And He said<3004> to her, "What<5101> do you wish<2309>?" She *said<3004> to Him, "Command<3004> that in Your kingdom<932> these<3778> two<1417> sons<5207> of mine<1473> may sit<2523> one<1520> on Your right<1188> and one<1520> on Your left<2176>."
22But Jesus<2424> answered<611>, "You do not know<3609> what<5101> you are asking<154>. Are you able<1410> to drink<4095> the cup<4221> that I am<3195> about<3195> to drink<4095>?" They *said<3004> to Him, "We are able<1410>."
23He *said<3004> to them, "My cup<4221> you shall drink<4095>; but to sit<2523> on My right<1188> and on My left<2176>, this<3778> is not Mine<1699> to give<1325>, but it is for those for whom<3739> it has been prepared<2090> by My Father<3962>."
24And hearing<191> this, the ten<1176> became indignant<23> with the two<1417> brothers<80>.
25But Jesus<2424> called<4341> them to Himself and said<3004>, "You know<3609> that the rulers<758> of the Gentiles<1484> lord<2634> it over<2634> them, and their great<3173> men<3173> exercise<2715> authority<2715> over<2715> them.
26"It is not this<3779> way<3779> among<1722> you, but whoever<3739><1437> wishes<2309> to become<1096> great<3173> among<1722> you shall be your servant<1249>,
27and whoever<3739><1437> wishes<2309> to be first<4413> among<1722> you shall be your slave<1401>;
28just<5618> as the Son<5207> of Man<444> did not come<2064> to be served<1247>, but to serve<1247>, and to give<1325> His life<5590> a ransom<3083> for many<4183>."
29As they were leaving<1607> Jericho<2410>, a large<4183> crowd<3793> followed<190> Him.
30And two<1417> blind<5185> men<5185> sitting<2521> by the road<3598>, hearing<191> that Jesus<2424> was passing<3855> by, cried<2896> out, "Lord<2962>, have<1653> mercy<1653> on us, Son<5207> of David<1160>!"
31The crowd<3793> sternly<2008> told<2008> them to be quiet<4623>, but they cried<2896> out all<3173> the more<3173>, "Lord<2962>, Son<5207> of David<1160>, have<1653> mercy<1653> on us!"
32And Jesus<2424> stopped<2476> and called<5455> them, and said<3004>, "What<5101> do you want<2309> Me to do<4160> for you?"
33They *said<3004> to Him, "Lord<2962>, we want our eyes<3788> to be opened<455>."
34Moved<4697> with compassion<4697>, Jesus<2424> touched<681> their eyes<3659>; and immediately<2112> they regained<308> their sight<308> and followed<190> Him.
