ABP - Matthew - 20

20:1  [7likened 1For 6is 2the 3kingdom 4of the 5heavens] to a man, a master of a house, who came forth at the same time in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

20:2  And having agreed with the workers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

20:3  And having come forth around the third hour, he beheld others standing in the market idle.

20:4  And to those he said, You go also yourselves into the vineyard! and what ever might be just I will give to you.

20:5  And they went forth. Again going forth around the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.

20:6  And around the eleventh hour, having come forth, he found others standing idle, and he says to them, Why [2here 1do you stand] the entire day idle?

20:7  They say to him that, No one hired us. He says to them, You go also yourselves into the vineyard, and what ever might be just you shall receive!

20:8  And evening having become, says the master of the vineyard to his caretaker, Call the workers, and render to them the wage! beginning from the last unto the first.

20:9  And the ones having come around the eleventh hour, received each a denarius.

20:10  And having come, the first ones thought that [2more 1they shall receive]; and they received also themselves each a denarius.

20:11  And having received, they grumbled against the master of the house,

20:12  saying that, These last [2for only one 3hour 1produced], and [2equal 3to us 1you made them], the ones bearing the load of the day and the burning wind.

20:13  And he responding said to one of them, My companion, [3not 1I wrong 2you]; [2not 5for a denarius 1did you 3agree 4with me]?

20:14  Carry yours and go! But I want [2to these 3last ones 1to give] as also to you.

20:15  Or is it not allowed to me to do what I want in the things mine? Is it your eye is wicked, that I am good?

20:16  Thus will be the last first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.

20:17  And [2ascending 1Jesus] unto Jerusalem, took with himself the twelve disciples in private on the way, and he said to them;

20:18  Behold, we ascend unto Jerusalem, and the son of man shall be delivered up to the chief priests, and scribes, and they shall condemn him to death.

20:19  And they shall deliver him up to the nations, to mock and to whip and to crucify; and in the third day he shall rise up.

20:20  Then came forward to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons doing obeisance, and asking something from him.

20:21  And he said to her, What do you want? She says to him, Say that [5should sit 1these 3two 4sons 2my], one on your right, and one on your left, in your kingdom!

20:22  And answering Jesus said, You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup which I am about to drink? And the immersion which I am immersed to be immersed? They say to him, We are able.

20:23  And he says to them, Indeed, my cup you shall drink, and the immersion which I am immersed you shall be immersed; but to sit on my right and on my left is not mine to give, but to the ones whom it has been prepared by my father.

20:24  And having heard, the ten were indignant about the two brothers.

20:25  And Jesus having called them, said, You know that the rulers of the nations dominate them, and the great ones exercise authority over them.

20:26  [2not 3so 1But] shall it be with you. But who ever should want among you [2great 1to become], shall be your servant.

20:27  And who ever should want among you to be first, shall be your servant.

20:28  As the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom instead of many.

20:29  And of their going forth from Jericho, there followed to him [multitude 1a great].

20:30  And behold, two blind men sitting down by the way, having heard that Jesus is passing by, cried out, saying, Show mercy on us, O Lord, son of David!

20:31  But the multitude reproached them that they should keep silent. But all the greater they cried out, saying, Show mercy on us, O Lord, son of David!

20:32  And standing, Jesus called them, and said, What do you want I should do to you?

20:33  They say to him, O Lord, that [3should be open 1our 2eyes].

20:34  And moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. And immediately [3gained sight 1their 2eyes], and they followed him.
