| 1 For the kingdom of the heavens, is like, a man, a householder,–who went forth with the morning, to hire labourers into his vineyard; |
|
| 2 and, when he had agreed with the labourers for a denary the day, he sent them into his vineyard. |
|
| 3 And, going forth about the third hour, he saw others, standing in the market-place, unemployed; |
Strong's G58
ἀγορά
agora
ag-or-ah'
From ἀγείρω “ageiro” (to gather; probably akin to G1453); properly the town square (as a place of public resort); by implication a market or thoroughfare: - market (-place), street. |
| 4 and, to them, he said–ye also, go your way into the vineyard, and, whatsoever may be right, I will give you; |
|
| 5 and, they, departed. And, again, going forth about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise. |
|
| 6 And, about the eleventh, going forth, he found others, standing, and saith unto them–Why, here, stand ye, all the day, unemployed? |
|
| 7 They say unto him–Because, no one, hath hired, us. He saith unto them–Ye also, go your way into the vineyard. |
|
| 8 And, when evening came, the master of the vineyard saith unto his steward–Call the labourers, and pay the hire,–beginning from the last, unto the first. |
|
| 9 And they of the eleventh hour, coming, received severally a denary. |
|
| 10 And, when the first came, they supposed that, more, they should receive,–and, they also, received severally a denary. |
|
| 11 And, having received it, they began to murmur against the householder, saying– |
They murmered – Question: Who do those represent who murmured? - Q500:1-2 |
| 12 These last, one hour, wrought, and thou hast made them, equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day, and the scorching heat. |
|
| 13 And, he, answering, unto one of them, said,–Friend! I wrong thee not: Was it not, for a denary, thou didst agree with me? |
|
| 14 Take thine own, and go thy way; but I please, unto this last, to give, as also to thee: |
|
| 15 Is it not allowed me to do, what I please, with my own? or is, thine eye, evil, because I good? |
|
| 16 Thus, shall be–The last first, and the first last. |

| 17 And, Jesus, being about to go up unto Jerusalem, took unto him the twelve [disciples], apart, and, in the way, he said unto them– |
|
| 18 Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem; and, the Son of Man, will be delivered up unto the chief-priests and Scribes, and they will condemn him, [to death], |
|
| 19 And deliver him up unto the nations, to mock and to scourge and to crucify,–and, on the third day, he will, arise. |

|
| 20 Then came unto him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down, and asking something from him. |
|
| 21 And, he, said to her–What desirest thou? She saith unto him–Bid, that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy kingdom. |
|
| 22 But Jesus, answering, said–Ye know not what ye are asking: Are ye able to drink the cup, which, I, am about to drink; They say unto him–We are able. |
|
| 23 He saith unto them–My cup, indeed, ye shall drink; but, to sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give,–except unto those for whom it hath been prepared by my Father. |
Is not mine to give – This yet another proof that the doctrine of the trinity is false! |
| 24 And the ten, hearing, were sorely displeased, concerning the two brethren. |
|
| 25 But, Jesus, calling them near, said–Ye know that, the rulers of the nations, lord it over them, and, the great ones, wield authority over them: |
|
| 26 Not so, is it, among you,–but, whosoever shall desire, among you, to become, great, shall be, your minister; |
|
| 27 And, whosoever shall desire, among you, to be first, shall be, your servant:– |
|
| 28 Just as, the Son of Man, came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom instead of many. |

|
| 29 And, as they were going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude; |
|
| 30 and lo! two blind men, sitting beside the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried aloud saying–Lord! have mercy on us! Son of David! |
|
| 31 But the multitude rebuked them, that they might hold their peace. But, they, the more, cried aloud, saying–Lord, have mercy on us! Son of David! |
|
| 32 And, standing still, Jesus called them, and said–What desire ye I should do for you? |
|
| 33 They say unto him–Lord! that, our eyes, may open. |
|
| 34 And, moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes,–and, straightway, they recovered sight, and followed him. |
