1For the kingdom of heaven is like a man who was a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard. 2And when he had agreed with the laborers for a shilling a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle; 4and to them he said, You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 5Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. 6And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing; and he says to them, Why do you stand here all the day idle? 7They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, You also go into the vineyard. 8And when evening had come, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the laborers, and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first. 9And when those who were hired about the eleventh hour came, they each received a shilling. 10And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a shilling. 11And when they received it, they murmured against the householder, 12saying, These last have spent only one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat. 13But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do you no wrong: did you not agree with me for a shilling? 14Take up that which is yours, and go your way; it is my will to give to this last, even as to you. 15Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with my own? or is your eye evil, because I am good? 16So the last shall be first, and the first last. 17And as Yeshua was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and on the way he said to them, 18Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, 19and shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up. 20Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, bowing down before him, and asking a certain thing of him. 21And he said to her, What do you want? She says to him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your kingdom. 22But Yeshua answered and said, You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say to him, We are able. 23He says to them, My cup indeed you shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give; but it is for them for whom it has been prepared by my Father. 24And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brothers. 25But Yeshua called them to him, and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26Not so shall it be among you: but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your minister; 27and whoever wants to be first among you shall be your servant: 28even as the Son of man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. 29And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. 30And behold, two blind men sitting by the wayside, when they heard that Yeshua was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David. 31And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David. 32And Yeshua stood still, and called them, and said, What do you want me to do for you? 33They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 34And Yeshua, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately they received their sight, and followed him.
