1 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. 2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 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? 7 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. 8 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. 9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. 11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 12 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. 13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, 18 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, 19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. 21 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. 22 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. 23 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. 24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren. 25 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. 26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: 28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. 29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30 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. 31 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. 32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? 33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
1 "天国好像一个家主， 清早出去雇请工人到他的葡萄园工作。
2 他和工人讲定了一天的工钱是一个银币， 然后派他们到葡萄园去。
3 大约九点钟， 他又出去， 看见还有人闲站在街市上，
4 就对他们说： ‘你们也到葡萄园来吧， 我会给你们合理的工钱。’
5 他们就去了。约在正午和下午三点钟， 他又出去， 也是这样作。
6 下午五点钟左右， 他再出去， 看见还有人站着， 就问他们： ‘你们为什么整天站在这里不去作工？’
7 他们回答： ‘没有人用我们。’他说： ‘你们也到葡萄园来吧。’
8 到了黄昏， 园主对管工说： ‘把工人叫来， 给他们工钱， 从最后的开始， 到最先来的。’
9 那些下午五点钟才开始作工的人来了， 每个人都领到一个银币。
10 最先作工的人也来了， 以为会多得一点， 但每个人也是领到一个银币。
11 他们领到之后， 就埋怨家主， 说：
12 ‘我们整天在烈日之下劳苦， 这些后来的人只工作了一个小时， 你却给他们跟我们一样的工钱。’
13 家主回答他们当中的一个， 说： ‘朋友， 我并没有亏待你。你我不是讲定了一个银币吗？
14 拿你的工钱走吧！ 我给那后来的和给你的一样， 是我的主意。
15 难道我不可以照自己的主意用我的财物吗？还是因为我仁慈你就嫉妒呢？’
16 因此， 在后的将要在前， 在前的将要在后。"
17 耶稣上耶路撒冷去的时候， 把十二门徒带到一边， 对他们说：
18 "我们现在上耶路撒冷去， 人子要被交给祭司长和经学家， 他们要定他死罪，
19 把他交给外族人凌辱、鞭打， 并且钉在十字架上。然而第三天他要复活。"
20 那时， 西庇太的儿子的母亲， 带着她的两个儿子前来见耶稣。她跪在耶稣面前求他。
21 耶稣问她： "你想要什么？"她说： "求你下令， 使我这两个儿子在你的国里， 一个坐在你的右边， 一个坐在你的左边。"
22 耶稣回答： "你们不知道你们求的是什么。我将要喝的杯， 你们能喝吗？"他们说： "能。"
23 他对他们说： "我的杯你们固然要喝， 只是坐在我的左右， 不是我可以赐的； 我父预备赐给谁， 就赐给谁。"
24 其他十个门徒听见了， 就向他们兄弟二人生气。
25 耶稣把他们叫过来， 说： "你们知道各国都有元首统治他们， 也有官长管辖他们。
26 但你们中间却不要这样； 谁想在你们中间成为大的， 就要作你们的仆役；
27 谁想在你们中间为首的， 就要作你们的奴仆。
28 正如人子来， 不是要受人的服事， 而是要服事人， 并且要舍命， 作许多人的赎价。"
29 他们从耶利哥出来的时候， 有许多人跟着耶稣。
30 有两个瞎眼的人坐在路旁， 听说耶稣经过， 就喊叫： "主啊， 大卫的子孙， 可怜我们吧！ "
31 群众责备他们， 叫他们不要出声， 他们却更加放声喊叫： "主啊， 大卫的子孙， 可怜我们吧！ "
32 耶稣就站住， 叫他们过来， 说： "要我为你们作什么呢？"
33 他们说： "主啊， 求你开我们的眼睛。"
34 耶稣就怜悯他们， 摸他们的眼睛。他们立刻能看见， 就跟从了耶稣。
