20"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.G1063G932G3772G2076G3664G444G3617G3748G1831G260G4404G3409G2040G1519G846G2902He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.G1161G4856G3326G2040G1537G1220G2250G649G846G1519G846G2903"About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.G2532G1831G4012G5154G5610G1492G243G2476G692G1722G584He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.'G2036G2548G5217G5210G2532G1519G290G2532G3739G1437G5600G1342G1325G5213G1161G5655So they went. "He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing.G3825G1831G4012G1623G2532G1766G5610G4160G56156About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?'G1161G4012G1734G5610G1831G2147G243G2476G692G2532G3004G846G5101G2476G5602G3650G2250G6927" 'Because no one has hired us,' they answered. "He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.'G3004G846G3754G3762G3409G2248G3004G846G5217G5210G2532G1519G290G2532G3739G1437G5600G1342G29838"When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his supervisor, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.'G1161G3798G1096G2962G290G3004G846G2012G2564G2040G2532G591G846G3408G756G575G2078G2193G44139"The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius.G2532G2064G4012G1734G5610G2983G303G122010So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius.G1161G4413G2064G3543G3754G2983G4119G2532G2532G2983G846G303G122011When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner.G1161G2983G1111G2596G361712'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.'G3754G3004G3778G2078G4160G3391G5610G2532G4160G846G2470G2254G3588G941G922G2532G2742G225013"But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius?G1161G611G1520G846G2036G2083G91G4571G3756G91G4856G3780G4856G3427G122014Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you.G142G4674G2532G5217G1161G2309G1325G5129G2078G2532G5613G467115Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'G2228G3756G1832G3427G4160G3739G2309G1722G1699G1487G2076G4675G3788G4190G3754G1473G1510G1816"So the last will be first, and the first will be last."G3779G2078G2071G4413G2532G4413G2078G1063G4183G1526G2822G1161G3641G158817Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them,G2532G2424G305G1519G2414G3880G1427G3101G2596G2398G1722G3598G2532G2036G84618"We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to deathG2400G305G1519G2414G2532G5207G444G3860G749G2532G1122G2532G2632G846G228819and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!"G2532G3860G846G1484G1519G1702G2532G3146G2532G4717G2532G5154G2250G45020Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.G5119G4334G846G3384G2199G5207G3326G846G5207G4352G2532G154G5100G3844G84621"What is it you want?" he asked. She said, "Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom."G1161G2036G846G5101G2309G3004G846G2036G2443G3778G3450G1417G5207G2523G1520G1537G4675G1188G2532G1520G1537G2176G1722G4675G93222"You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said to them. "Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?" "We can," they answered.G1161G2424G611G2036G1492G3756G5101G154G1410G4095G4221G3739G1473G3195G4095G2532G907G908G3739G1473G907G3004G846G141023Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father."G2532G3004G846G4095G3303G3450G4221G2532G907G908G3739G1473G907G1161G2523G1537G3450G1188G2532G1537G3450G2176G2076G3756G1699G1325G235G3739G2090G5259G3450G396224When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers.G2532G1176G191G23G4012G1417G8025Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.G1161G2424G4341G846G2036G1492G3754G758G1484G2634G846G2532G3173G2715G84626Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,G1161G2071G3756G2071G3779G1722G5213G235G3739G1437G2309G1096G3173G1722G5213G2077G5216G124927and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—G2532G3739G1437G2309G1511G4413G1722G5213G2077G5216G140128just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."G5618G5207G444G2064G3756G1247G235G1247G2532G1325G846G5590G3083G473G418329As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him.G2532G846G1607G575G2410G4183G3793G190G84630Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"G2532G2400G1417G5185G2521G3598G3844G191G3754G2424G3855G2896G3004G1653G2248G2962G5207G113831The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"G1161G3793G2008G846G2443G4623G1161G2896G3185G3004G1653G2248G2962G5207G113832Jesus stopped and called them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.G2532G2424G2476G5455G846G2532G2036G5101G2309G4160G521333"Lord," they answered, "we want our sight."G3004G846G2962G2443G2257G3788G45534Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.G1161G2424G4697G680G846G3788G2532G2112G846G3788G308G2532G190G846
