1 Like for is the kingdom of the heavens to a man a householder, who went out with morning to hire laborers into the vineyard of him.

2 Having agreed and with the laborers for a denarius the day, he sent him into the vineyard of him.

3 And going out about third hour, he saw others standing in the market–place idle;

4 and to them he said: Go and you into the vineyard; and whatever may be just, I will give you. They and went away.

5 Again going out about sixth and ninth hour, he did in like manner.

6 About and the eleventh hour going out, he found others standing, and he says to them: Why here stood you all the day idle?

7 They say to him: Because no one us hired. He says to them: Go also you into the vineyard; and whatever maybe just, you shall receive.

8 Evening and having come on, says the lord of the vineyard to the steward of him: Call the laborers, and give to them the hire, beginning from the last, till the first.

9 And having come those about the eleventh hour, received each a denarius.

10 Having then those first, supposed, that more they shall receive; and received also they each a denarius.

11 Having received but they murmured against the householder,

12 saying: That these the last one hour worked, and equal to us them thou hast made, to the having endured the burden of the day, and the burning heat.

13 He but answering said to one of them: Friend, not I wrong thee; not of a denarius didst thou agree to me?

14 Take thee thine and go, I wish and to this the last to give as also of thee.

15 Or not is it lawful to me to do what I will with the my own? or the eye of thee evil is, because I good am?

16 Thus shall be the last, first; and the first, last. Many for are called, few but chosen.

17 And going up the Jesus to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples privately in the way, and said to them:

18 Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the son of the man will be delivered up to the high–priests and scribes; and they will condemn him to death,

19 and they will deliver up him to the Gentiles for the to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify; and in the third day he will stand up.

20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with the sons of her, prostrating, and asking something from him.

21 He and said to her: What wilt thou? She says to him: Say that may sit these the two sons of me, one at right of thee, and one at left of thee, in the kingdom of thee.

22 Answering but the Jesus said: Not you know, what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup, which I am about to drink? They say to him: We are able.

23 And he says to them: The indeed cup of me you shall drink; the but to sit at right of me and at left of me, not is mine to give, but to whom it has been prepared by the Father of me.

24 And having heard the ten, were angry on account of the two brothers.

25 The but Jesus, having called them, said: You know, that the rulers of the nations domineer over them. Not thus great exercise authority over them.

26 Not thus it shall be among you; but whoever may wish among you great to become, let him be of you servant;

27 and whoever may wish among you to be first, let him be of you a slave;

28 even as the son of the man not came to be served but to serve, and to give the life of him a ransom for many.

29 And departing of them from Jericho, followed him a crowd great.

30 And lo, two blind men, sitting by the way, hearing that Jesus passes by, cried out, saying: Pity us, O lord, son of David.

31 The and crowd reproved them, that they might be silent. They but more did cry out, saying: Pity us, O lord, son of David.

32 And having stopped the Jesus he called them, and said: What do you wish I should do to you?

33 They say to him: O lord, that may be opened of us the eyes.

34 Being moved with pity and the Jesus, he touched the eyes of them; and immediately saw again of them the eyes; and they followed him.

1 »The kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

2 »He made an agreement with the workmen for a penny a day. Then he sent them into his vineyard.

3 »He went out the third hour and saw others in the marketplace doing nothing.«

4 »He said to them: ‘Go to the vineyard with the others. I will pay you whatever is right.’ So they went to work.

5 »He went out the sixth and the ninth hour, and did the same.

6 »The eleventh hour, he saw others doing nothing. He asked: ‘Why are you here all the day doing nothing?’

7 »They said: ‘No man has given us work.’ He told them to go work with the rest in the vineyard.

8 »When evening came, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager: ‘Let the workers come and pay them from the last to the first.’

9 »Those men who went to work at the eleventh hour were each given a penny.

10 »Those who worked longer, expected to be paid more. They were also given a penny.

11 »When they got it, they protested against the master of the house.

12 »They said: ‘The last ones have done only one hour’s work. You have made them equal to us. We have undergone the hard work of the day and the burning heat.’

13 »He told them: ‘I do you no wrong. You made an agreement with me for a penny.

14 »‘Take what is yours and leave. I wish to give to the last workers the same as to you.

15 »‘Is it lawful for me to do what I wish with what is mine? Or is your eye jealous because I am generous?’

16 »So the last will be first, and the first last.«

17 When Jesus went to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and talked to them.

18 »When we get to Jerusalem,« he said, »The Son of man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes. They will give orders for him to be put to death.

19 »They will turn him over to the heathen to be made sport of and to be whipped. He will be put to death on the stake. The third day he will come back from the dead.«

20 The mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons. She bowed down and requested a favor of him.

21 »What is your desire?« he asked. She said to him: »Let my two sons be seated, the one at your right hand, and the other at your left, in your kingdom.«

22 Jesus told her: »You have no idea what you are requesting. Are you able to take of the cup I am about to take? »

23 They said: »We are able.« »Truly, you will take of my cup,« he said. »But to be seated at my right hand and at my left is not for me to give. It is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.«

24 When the ten heard it, they were angry with the two brothers.

25 Jesus called them to himself and said: »You know that the rulers of the nations exercise absolute dominion over them. They lord it over them and behave like tyrants.

26 »But it will not be so among you. He who will be great among you must be your servant.

27 And he who will be first among you will be your attendant servantminister.

28 »The Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom in payment for many.«

29 A great crowd followed him when they departed from Jericho.

30 Two blind men sitting by the side of the road heard Jesus pass by and cried out: »Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!«

31 The crowd told them to be quiet. But they cried even more, saying: »Have mercy on us, O Lord, you Son of David!«

32 Jesus stood still and asked them: »What do you want me to do to you?«

33 They said: »Lord give us our sight.«

34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Now they could see! So they followed him.
