CHAPTER 20.

!
which went out early in the morning
20 hire labourers into his vineyard.
2 And when he had agreed with the
labourers for a penny a day, ne sent
them into his vineyard.
/ 3 And he went out about the thiro
hour, and saw others standing idle In
the market-p1ace,
4 And said unto them; Go we also
into the vineyard, and whatsoever -
right | will give you. And they went
their way.
5Again he went out about the sixth
and ninth hour, and did likewise.
s And about the eleventh hour he
went out, and found others standing
idle, and saith unto them, Why stand
We here all the day idle?
/ They 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 we
receive.
s So 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.
9 And when they came that were
hired about the eleventh hour, they
received every man penny.
10 But when the first came, they
supposed that they should have re-
ceiyed more; and they likewise re-
ceived every man penny.
II And when they had received it,
they murmured against the goodman
of the house,
II 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.
Is But he answered one of them,
and said, Friend, | do thee no wrong
didst not thou agree with ne for a
penny?
II Take that thine is, and go thy
way: will give unto this last, even as
unto thee.
Is Is it not lawful for me to do
what | will with mine own? Is thine
eye evil, because am good?
16 So the last shall be first, and
the first last for many be called, but
few chosen.
II And Jesus going up to Jerusalem
took the twelve disciples apart in the
way, and said unto them,
Is Behold, 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,
10 And shall deliver him to the
Gentiles to mock, and to scOurge, and
to cruelty him: and the third day he
shall rise again.
20 Then came to him the mother of
Zebedee's children with her sons,
worshipping him, and desiring GER
tain thing of him.
81 And 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.
% But Jesus answered and said, Ye
know not what We ask. Are We able
to drink of the cup that shall drink
of, and to be baptized with the bap-
tism that am baptized with? They
say unto him, We are able.
% And he saith unto them, Ye shall
drink indeed of my cup, and be bap-
tized with the baptism that | am bap-
tized 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.
"a And when the ten heard it, they
were moved with indignation against
the two brethren.
% But Jesus called them unto him,
and said, Ye know that the princes OF
the Gentiles exercise dominion over
them, and they that are great exer-
else authority upon them.
26 But it shall not be so among
you: but whOsoever will be great
among you, let him be your minister;
p And whatsoever will be chief
among you, let him be your servant;
IS Even as the Son of man came
not to be miniStered unto, but to min
lister, and to give his life a ransom
for many.
% And as they departed from
Jericho, a great multitude followed
him.
