1. The kingdom of heaven is like a person who owned some land. One morning, he went out very early to hire some people to work in his vineyard.
|
1. For G1063 the G3588 kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 is G2076 like unto G3664 a man G444 that is a householder G3617 , which G3748 went out G1831 early in the morning G260 G4404 to hire G3409 laborers G2040 into G1519 his G848 vineyard G290 .
|
|
2. The man agreed to pay the workers one coinn for working that day. Then he sent them into the vineyard to work.
|
2. And G1161 when he had agreed G4856 with G3326 the G3588 laborers G2040 for G1537 a penny G1220 a day G2250 , he sent G649 them G846 into G1519 his G848 vineyard G290 .
|
|
3. About nine o'clock the man went to the marketplace and saw some other people standing there, doing nothing.
|
3. And G2532 he went out G1831 about G4012 the G3588 third G5154 hour G5610 , and saw G1492 others G243 standing G2476 idle G692 in G1722 the G3588 marketplace G58 ,
|
|
4. So he said to them, 'If you go and work in my vineyard, I will pay you what your work is worth.'
|
4. And said unto them G2548 G2036 ; Go G5217 ye G5210 also G2532 into G1519 the G3588 vineyard G290 , and G2532 whatsoever G3739 G1437 is G5600 right G1342 I will give G1325 you G5213 . And G1161 they G3588 went their way G565 .
|
|
5. So they went to work in the vineyard. The man went out again about twelve o'clock and three o'clock and did the same thing.
|
5. Again G3825 he went out G1831 about G4012 the sixth G1623 and G2532 ninth G1766 hour G5610 , and did G4160 likewise G5615 .
|
|
6. About five o'clock the man went to the marketplace again and saw others standing there. He asked them, 'Why did you stand here all day doing nothing?'
|
6. And G1161 about G4012 the G3588 eleventh G1734 hour G5610 he went out G1831 , and found G2147 others G243 standing G2476 idle G692 , and G2532 saith G3004 unto them G846 , Why G5101 stand G2476 ye here G5602 all G3650 the G3588 day G2250 idle G692 ?
|
|
7. They answered, 'No one gave us a job.' The man said to them, 'Then you can go and work in my vineyard.'
|
7. They say G3004 unto him G846 , Because G3754 no man G3762 hath hired G3409 us G2248 . He saith G3004 unto them G846 , Go G5217 ye G5210 also G2532 into G1519 the G3588 vineyard G290 ; and G2532 whatsoever G3739 G1437 is G5600 right G1342 , that shall ye receive G2983 .
|
|
8. "At the end of the day, the owner of the vineyard said to the boss of all the workers, 'Call the workers and pay them. Start with the last people I hired and end with those I hired first.'
|
8. So G1161 when even G3798 was come G1096 , the G3588 lord G2962 of the G3588 vineyard G290 saith unto his G848 steward G2012 , Call G2564 the G3588 laborers G2040 , and G2532 give G591 them G846 their hire G3408 , beginning G756 from G575 the G3588 last G2078 unto G2193 the G3588 first G4413 .
|
|
9. "When the workers who were hired at five o'clock came to get their pay, each received one coin.
|
9. And G2532 when they came G2064 that G3588 were hired about G4012 the G3588 eleventh G1734 hour G5610 , they received G2983 every man G303 a penny G1220 .
|
|
10. When the workers who were hired first came to get their pay, they thought they would be paid more than the others. But each one of them also received one coin.
|
10. But G1161 when the G3588 first G4413 came G2064 , they supposed G3543 that G3754 they should have received G2983 more G4119 ; and G2532 they G846 likewise G2532 received G2983 every man G303 a penny G1220 .
|
|
11. When they got their coin, they complained to the man who owned the land.
|
11. And G1161 when they had received G2983 it, they murmured G1111 against G2596 the G3588 goodman of the house G3617 ,
|
|
12. They said, 'Those people were hired last and worked only one hour. But you paid them the same as you paid us who worked hard all day in the hot sun.'
|
12. Saying G3004 , These G3778 last G2078 have wrought G4160 but one G3391 hour G5610 , and G2532 thou hast made G4160 them G846 equal G2470 unto us G2254 , which have borne G941 the G3588 burden G922 and G2532 heat G2742 of the G3588 day G2250 .
|
|
13. But the man who owned the vineyard said to one of those workers, 'Friend, I am being fair to you. You agreed to work for one coin.
|
13. But G1161 he G3588 answered G611 one G1520 of them G846 , and said G2036 , Friend G2083 , I do thee no wrong G91 G4571 G3756 : didst not G3780 thou agree G4856 with me G3427 for a penny G1220 ?
|
|
14. So take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same pay that I gave you.
|
14. Take G142 that thine G4674 is, and G2532 go thy way G5217 : I G1161 will G2309 give G1325 unto this G5129 last G2078 , even G2532 as G5613 unto thee G4671 .
|
|
15. I can do what I want with my own money. Are you jealous because I am good to those people?'
|
15. Is it not lawful G1832 G3756 for me G3427 to do G4160 what G3739 I will G2309 with G1722 mine own G1699 G1487 ? Is G2076 thine G4675 eye G3788 evil G4190 , because G3754 I G1473 am G1510 good G18 ?
|
|
16. "So those who have the last place now will have the first place in the future, and those who have the first place now will have the last place in the future."
|
16. So G3779 the G3588 last G2078 shall be G2071 first G4413 , and G2532 the G3588 first G4413 last G2078 : for G1063 many G4183 be G1526 called G2822 , but G1161 few G3641 chosen G1588 .
|
|
17. While Jesus was going to Jerusalem, he took his twelve followers aside privately and said to them,
|
17. And G2532 Jesus G2424 going up G305 to G1519 Jerusalem G2414 took G3880 the G3588 twelve G1427 disciples G3101 apart G2596 G2398 in G1722 the G3588 way G3598 , and G2532 said G2036 unto them G846 ,
|
|
18. "Look, we are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be turned over to the leading priests and the teachers of the law, and they will say that he must die.
|
18. Behold G2400 , we go up G305 to G1519 Jerusalem G2414 : and G2532 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 shall be betrayed G3860 unto the G3588 chief priests G749 and G2532 unto the scribes G1122 , and G2532 they shall condemn G2632 him G846 to death G2288 ,
|
|
19. They will give the Son of Man to the non-Jewish people to laugh at him and beat him with whips and crucify him. But on the third day, he will be raised to life again."
|
19. And G2532 shall deliver G3860 him G846 to the G3588 Gentiles G1484 to mock G1702 , and G2532 to scourge G3146 , and G2532 to crucify G4717 him : and G2532 the G3588 third G5154 day G2250 he shall rise again G450 .
|
|
20. Then the wife of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons. She bowed before him and asked him to do something for her.
|
20. Then G5119 came G4334 to him G846 the G3588 mother G3384 of Zebedee G2199 's children G5207 with G3326 her G848 sons G5207 , worshiping G4352 him, and G2532 desiring G154 a certain thing G5100 of G3844 him G846 .
|
|
21. Jesus asked, "What do you want?" She said, "Promise that one of my sons will sit at your right side and the other will sit at your left side in your kingdom."
|
21. And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 unto her G846 , What G5101 wilt G2309 thou? She saith G3004 unto him G846 , Grant G2036 that G2443 these G3778 my G3450 two G1417 sons G5207 may sit G2523 , the one G1520 on G1537 thy G4675 right hand G1188 , and G2532 the other G1520 on G1537 the left G2176 , in G1722 thy G4675 kingdom G932 .
|
|
22. But Jesus said, "You don't understand what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am about to drink?" The sons answered, "Yes, we can."
|
22. But G1161 Jesus G2424 answered G611 and said G2036 , Ye know G1492 not G3756 what G5101 ye ask G154 . Are ye able G1410 to drink G4095 of the G3588 cup G4221 that G3739 I G1473 shall G3195 drink G4095 of, and G2532 to be baptized G907 with the G3588 baptism G908 that G3739 I G1473 am baptized G907 with? They say G3004 unto him G846 , We are able G1410 .
|
|
23. Jesus said to them, "You will drink from my cup. But I cannot choose who will sit at my right or my left; those places belong to those for whom my Father has prepared them."
|
23. And G2532 he saith G3004 unto them G846 , Ye shall drink G4095 indeed G3303 of my G3450 cup G4221 , and G2532 be baptized G907 with the G3588 baptism G908 that G3739 I G1473 am baptized G907 with: but G1161 to sit G2523 on G1537 my G3450 right hand G1188 , and G2532 on G1537 my G3450 left G2176 , is G2076 not G3756 mine G1699 to give G1325 , but G235 it shall be given to them for whom G3739 it is prepared G2090 of G5259 my G3450 Father G2962 .
|
|
24. When the other ten followers heard this, they were angry with the two brothers.
|
24. And G2532 when the G3588 ten G1176 heard G191 it, they were moved with indignation G23 against G4012 the G3588 two G1417 brethren G80 .
|
|
25. Jesus called all the followers together and said, "You know that the rulers of the non-Jewish people love to show their power over the people. And their important leaders love to use all their authority.
|
25. But G1161 Jesus G2424 called G4341 them G846 unto him, and said G2036 , Ye know G1492 that G3754 the G3588 princes G758 of the G3588 Gentiles G1484 exercise dominion G2634 over them G846 , and G2532 they that are great G3173 exercise authority G2715 upon them G846 .
|
|
26. But it should not be that way among you. Whoever wants to become great among you must serve the rest of you like a servant.
|
26. But G1161 it shall not G3756 be G2071 so G3779 among G1722 you G5213 : but G235 whosoever G3739 G1437 will G2309 be G1096 great G3173 among G1722 you G5213 , let him be G2077 your G5216 minister G1249 ;
|
|
27. Whoever wants to become first among you must serve the rest of you like a slave.
|
27. And G2532 whosoever G3739 G1437 will G2309 be G1511 chief G4413 among G1722 you G5213 , let him be G2077 your G5216 servant G1401 :
|
|
28. In the same way, the Son of Man did not come to be served. He came to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many people."
|
28. Even as G5618 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 came G2064 not G3756 to be ministered unto G1247 , but G235 to minister G1247 , and G2532 to give G1325 his G848 life G5590 a ransom G3083 for G473 many G4183 .
|
|
29. When Jesus and his followers were leaving Jericho, a great many people followed him.
|
29. And G2532 as they G846 departed G1607 from G575 Jericho G2410 , a great G4183 multitude G3793 followed G190 him G846 .
|
|
30. Two blind men sitting by the road heard that Jesus was going by, so they shouted, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
|
30. And G2532 , behold G2400 , two G1417 blind men G5185 sitting G2521 by G3844 the G3588 way side G3598 , when they heard G191 that G3754 Jesus G2424 passed by G3855 , cried out G2896 , saying G3004 , Have mercy G1653 on us G2248 , O Lord G2962 , thou son G5207 of David G1138 .
|
|
31. The people warned the blind men to be quiet, but they shouted even more, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
|
31. And G1161 the G3588 multitude G3793 rebuked G2008 them G846 , because G2443 they should hold their peace G4623 : but G1161 they G3588 cried G2896 the more G3185 , saying G3004 , Have mercy G1653 on us G2248 , O Lord G2962 , thou son G5207 of David G1138 .
|
|
32. Jesus stopped and said to the blind men, "What do you want me to do for you?"
|
32. And G2532 Jesus G2424 stood still G2476 , and called G5455 them G846 , and G2532 said G2036 , What G5101 will G2309 ye that I shall do G4160 unto you G5213 ?
|
|
33. They answered, "Lord, we want to see."
|
33. They say G3004 unto him G846 , Lord G2962 , that G2443 our G2257 eyes G3788 may be opened G455 .
|
|
34. Jesus felt sorry for the blind men and touched their eyes, and at once they could see. Then they followed Jesus.
|
34. So G1161 Jesus G2424 had compassion G4697 on them, and touched G680 their G846 eyes G3788 : and G2532 immediately G2112 their G846 eyes G3788 received sight G308 , and G2532 they followed G190 him G846 .
