20:1 For 1063 the kingdom 932 of heaven 3772 is 2076 5748 like 3664 unto a man 444 [that is] an householder 3617, which 3748 went out 1831 5627 early in the morning 260 4404 to hire 3409 5670 labourers 2040 into 1519 his 846 vineyard 290.

20:2 And 1161 when he had agreed 4856 5660 with 3326 the labourers 2040 for 1537 a penny 1220 a day 2250, he sent 649 5656 them 846 into 1519 his 846 vineyard 290.(penny: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents)

20:3 And 2532 he went out 1831 5631 about 4012 the third 5154 hour 5610, and saw 1492 5627 others 243 standing 2476 5761 idle 692 in 1722 the marketplace 58,

20:4 And said 2036 5627 unto them 2548; Go 5217 5720 ye 5210 also 2532 into 1519 the vineyard 290, and 2532 whatsoever 3739 1437 is 5600 5753 right 1342 I will give 1325 5692 you 5213. And 1161 they went their way 565 5627.

20:5 Again 3825 he went out 1831 5631 about 4012 the sixth 1623 and 2532 ninth 1766 hour 5610, and did 4160 5656 likewise 5615.

20:6 And 1161 about 4012 the eleventh 1734 hour 5610 he went out 1831 5631, and found 2147 5627 others 243 standing 2476 5761 idle 692, and 2532 saith 3004 5719 unto them 846, Why 5101 stand ye 2476 5758 here 5602 all 3650 the day 2250 idle 692?

20:7 They say 3004 5719 unto him 846, Because 3754 no man 3762 hath hired 3409 5668 us 2248. He saith 3004 5719 unto them 846, Go 5217 5720 ye 5210 also 2532 into 1519 the vineyard 290; and 2532 whatsoever 3739 1437 is 5600 5753 right 1342, [that] shall ye receive 2983 5695.

20:8 So 1161 when even 3798 was come 1096 5637, the lord 2962 of the vineyard 290 saith 3004 5719 unto his 846 steward 2012, Call 2564 5657 the labourers 2040, and 2532 give 591 5628 them 846 [their] hire 3408, beginning 756 5671 from 575 the last 2078 unto 2193 the first 4413.

20:9 And 2532 when they came 2064 5631 that [were hired] about 4012 the eleventh 1734 hour 5610, they received 2983 5627 every man 303 a penny 1220.

20:10 But 1161 when the first 4413 came 2064 5631, they supposed 3543 5656 that 3754 they should have received 2983 5695 more 4119; and 2532 they likewise 2532 received 2983 5627 every man 846 303 a penny 1220.

20:11 And 1161 when they had received 2983 5631 [it], they murmured 1111 5707 against 2596 the goodman of the house 3617,

20:12 3754 Saying 3004 5723, These 3778 last 2078 have wrought 4160 5656 [but] one 3391 hour 5610, and 2532 thou hast made 4160 5656 them 846 equal 2470 unto us 2254, which 3588 have borne 941 5660 the burden 922 and 2532 heat 2742 of the day 2250.(have wrought…: or, have continued one hour only)

20:13 But 1161 he answered 611 5679 one 1520 of them 846, and said 2036 5627, Friend 2083, I do 91 0 thee 4571 no 3756 wrong 91 5719: didst 4856 0 not 3780 thou agree 4856 5656 with me 3427 for a penny 1220?

20:14 Take 142 5657 [that] thine 4674 [is], and 2532 go thy way 5217 5720: 1161 I will 2309 5719 give 1325 5629 unto this 5129 last 2078, even 2532 as 5613 unto thee 4671.

20:15 2228 Is it not 3756 lawful 1832 5748 for me 3427 to do 4160 5658 what 3739 I will 2309 5719 with 1722 mine own 1699? 1487 Is 2076 5748 thine 4675 eye 3788 evil 4190, because 3754 I 1473 am 1510 5748 good 18?

20:16 So 3779 the last 2078 shall be 2071 5704 first 4413, and 2532 the first 4413 last 2078: for 1063 many 4183 be 1526 5748 called 2822, but 1161 few 3641 chosen 1588.

20:17 And 2532 Jesus 2424 going up 305 5723 to 1519 Jerusalem 2414 took 3880 5627 the twelve 1427 disciples 3101 apart 2596 2398 in 1722 the way 3598, and 2532 said 2036 5627 unto them 846,

20:18 Behold 2400 5628, we go up 305 5719 to 1519 Jerusalem 2414; and 2532 the Son 5207 of man 444 shall be betrayed 3860 5701 unto the chief priests 749 and 2532 unto the scribes 1122, and 2532 they shall condemn 2632 5692 him 846 to death 2288,

20:19 And 2532 shall deliver 3860 5692 him 846 to the Gentiles 1484 to 1519 mock 1702 5658, and 2532 to scourge 3146 5658, and 2532 to crucify 4717 5658 [him]: and 2532 the third 5154 day 2250 he shall rise again 450 5698.

20:20 Then 5119 came 4334 5627 to him 846 the mother 3384 of Zebedee's 2199 children 5207 with 3326 her 846 sons 5207, worshipping 4352 5723 [him], and 2532 desiring 154 5723 a certain 5100 thing 3844 of him 846.

20:21 And 1161 he said 2036 5627 unto her 846, What 5101 wilt thou 2309 5719? She saith 3004 5719 unto him 846, Grant 2036 5628 that 2443 these 3778 my 3450 two 1417 sons 5207 may sit 2523 5661, the one 1520 on 1537 thy 4675 right hand 1188, and 2532 the other 1520 on 1537 the left 2176, in 1722 thy 4675 kingdom 932.

20:22 But 1161 Jesus 2424 answered 611 5679 and said 2036 5627, Ye know 1492 5758 not 3756 what 5101 ye ask 154 5731. Are ye able 1410 5736 to drink 4095 5629 of the cup 4221 that 3739 I 1473 shall 3195 5719 drink of 4095 5721, and 2532 to be baptized 907 5743 with the baptism 908 that 3739 I 1473 am baptized with 907 5683? They say 3004 5719 unto him 846, We are able 1410 5736.

20:23 And 2532 he saith 3004 5719 unto them 846, Ye shall drink 4095 5695 indeed 3303 of my 3450 cup 4221, and 2532 be baptized 907 5743 with the baptism 908 that 3739 I 1473 am baptized with 907 5701: but 1161 to sit 2523 5658 on 1537 my 3450 right hand 1188, and 2532 on 1537 my 3450 left 2176, is 2076 5748 not 3756 mine 1699 to give 1325 5629, but 235 [it shall be given to them] for whom 3739 it is prepared 2090 5769 of 5259 my 3450 Father 3962.

20:24 And 2532 when the ten 1176 heard 191 5660 [it], they were moved with indignation 23 5656 against 4012 the two 1417 brethren 80.

20:25 But 1161 Jesus 2424 called 4341 5666 them 846 [unto him], and said 2036 5627, Ye know 1492 5758 that 3754 the princes 758 of the Gentiles 1484 exercise dominion over 2634 5719 them 846, and 2532 they that are great 3173 exercise authority upon 2715 5719 them 846.

20:26 But 1161 it shall 2071 0 not 3756 be 2071 5704 so 3779 among 1722 you 5213: but 235 whosoever 3739 1437 will 2309 5725 be 1096 5635 great 3173 among 1722 you 5213, let him be 2077 5749 your 5216 minister 1249;

20:27 And 2532 whosoever 3739 1437 will 2309 5725 be 1511 5750 chief 4413 among 1722 you 5213, let him be 2077 5749 your 5216 servant 1401:

20:28 Even as 5618 the Son 5207 of man 444 came 2064 5627 not 3756 to be ministered unto 1247 5683, but 235 to minister 1247 5658, and 2532 to give 1325 5629 his 846 life 5590 a ransom 3083 for 473 many 4183.

20:29 And 2532 as they 846 departed 1607 5740 from 575 Jericho 2410, a great 4183 multitude 3793 followed 190 5656 him 846.

20:30 And 2532, behold 2400 5628, two 1417 blind men 5185 sitting 2521 5740 by the way 3598 side 3844, when they heard 191 5660 that 3754 Jesus 2424 passed by 3855 5719, cried out 2896 5656, saying 3004 5723, Have mercy 1653 5657 on us 2248, O Lord 2962, [thou] Son 5207 of David 1138.

20:31 And 1161 the multitude 3793 rebuked 2008 5656 them 846, because 2443 they should hold their peace 4623 5661: but 1161 they cried 2896 5707 the more 3185, saying 3004 5723, Have mercy 1653 5657 on us 2248, O Lord 2962, [thou] Son 5207 of David 1138.

20:32 And 2532 Jesus 2424 stood still 2476 5631, and called 5455 5656 them 846, and 2532 said 2036 5627, What 5101 will ye 2309 5719 that I shall do 4160 5661 unto you 5213?

20:33 They say 3004 5719 unto him 846, Lord 2962, that 2443 our 2257 eyes 3788 may be opened 455 5686.

20:34 So 1161 Jesus 2424 had compassion 4697 5679 [on them], and touched 680 5662 their 846 eyes 3788: and 2532 immediately 2112 their 846 eyes 3788 received sight 308 5656, and 2532 they followed 190 5656 him 846.
