Matthew 20

20For 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.G1063G932G3772G2076G3664G444G3617G3748G1831G260G4404G3409G2040G1519G846G2902And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. / penny: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen centsG1161G4856G3326G2040G1537G1220G2250G649G846G1519G846G2903And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,G2532G1831G4012G5154G5610G1492G243G2476G692G1722G584And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.G2036G2548G5217G5210G2532G1519G290G2532G3739G1437G5600G1342G1325G5213G1161G5655Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.G3825G1831G4012G1623G2532G1766G5610G4160G56156And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?G1161G4012G1734G5610G1831G2147G243G2476G692G2532G3004G846G5101G2476G5602G3650G2250G6927They 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.G3004G846G3754G3762G3409G2248G3004G846G5217G5210G2532G1519G290G2532G3739G1437G5600G1342G29838So 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.G1161G3798G1096G2962G290G3004G846G2012G2564G2040G2532G591G846G3408G756G575G2078G2193G44139And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.G2532G2064G4012G1734G5610G2983G303G122010But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.G1161G4413G2064G3543G3754G2983G4119G2532G2532G2983G846G303G122011And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,G1161G2983G1111G2596G361712 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. / have wrought…: or, have continued one hour onlyG3754G3004G3778G2078G4160G3391G5610G2532G4160G846G2470G2254G3588G941G922G2532G2742G225013But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?G1161G611G1520G846G2036G2083G91G4571G3756G91G4856G3780G4856G3427G122014Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.G142G4674G2532G5217G1161G2309G1325G5129G2078G2532G5613G467115 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?G2228G3756G1832G3427G4160G3739G2309G1722G1699G1487G2076G4675G3788G4190G3754G1473G1510G1816So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.G3779G2078G2071G4413G2532G4413G2078G1063G4183G1526G2822G1161G3641G158817And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,G2532G2424G305G1519G2414G3880G1427G3101G2596G2398G1722G3598G2532G2036G84618Behold, 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,G2400G305G1519G2414G2532G5207G444G3860G749G2532G1122G2532G2632G846G228819And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.G2532G3860G846G1484G1519G1702G2532G3146G2532G4717G2532G5154G2250G45020Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.G5119G4334G846G3384G2199G5207G3326G846G5207G4352G2532G154G5100G3844G84621And 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.G1161G2036G846G5101G2309G3004G846G2036G2443G3778G3450G1417G5207G2523G1520G1537G4675G1188G2532G1520G1537G2176G1722G4675G93222But 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.G1161G2424G611G2036G1492G3756G5101G154G1410G4095G4221G3739G1473G3195G4095G2532G907G908G3739G1473G907G3004G846G141023And 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.G2532G3004G846G4095G3303G3450G4221G2532G907G908G3739G1473G907G1161G2523G1537G3450G1188G2532G1537G3450G2176G2076G3756G1699G1325G235G3739G2090G5259G3450G396224And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.G2532G1176G191G23G4012G1417G8025But 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.G1161G2424G4341G846G2036G1492G3754G758G1484G2634G846G2532G3173G2715G84626But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;G1161G2071G3756G2071G3779G1722G5213G235G3739G1437G2309G1096G3173G1722G5213G2077G5216G124927And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:G2532G3739G1437G2309G1511G4413G1722G5213G2077G5216G140128Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.G5618G5207G444G2064G3756G1247G235G1247G2532G1325G846G5590G3083G473G418329And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.G2532G846G1607G575G2410G4183G3793G190G84630And, 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.G2532G2400G1417G5185G2521G3598G3844G191G3754G2424G3855G2896G3004G1653G2248G2962G5207G113831And 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.G1161G3793G2008G846G2443G4623G1161G2896G3185G3004G1653G2248G2962G5207G113832And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?G2532G2424G2476G5455G846G2532G2036G5101G2309G4160G521333They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.G3004G846G2962G2443G2257G3788G45534So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.G1161G2424G4697G680G846G3788G2532G2112G846G3788G308G2532G190G846

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
