1For the kingdom of heaven is like a man, the lord of a house, who went out, at dawn of day, to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2And he contracted with the labors for a denarius a day: and sent them into his vineyard. 3And he went out at the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market-place: 4and he said to them, Go ye also into my vineyard, and what is right I will give you; 5and they went. And again he went out at the sixth and ninth hours, and did the same. 6And about the eleventh hour, he went out and found others who were standing and idle; and he said to them: Why stand ye all the day, and are idle? 7They say to him, Because no one hath hired us. He saith to them: Go ye also into the vineyard; and what is right ye shall receive. 8And when it was evening, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward: Call the laborers, and give them their wages; and commence with the last, and proceed to the first. 9And those of the eleventh hour came, and received each a denarius. 10And when the first came, they supposed they should receive more; but they also received each a denarius. 11And when they received it, they murmured against the lord of the house, 12and said: These last have labored but one hour, and thou hast made them equal with us who have borne the burden of the day and the heat of it. 13But he answered, and said to one of them: My friend, I do thee no injustice: was it not for a denarius that thou didst contract with me? 14Take what belongeth to thee, and go: for I am disposed to give to this last, as to thee. 15Is it not lawful for me, to do what I please with what belongeth to me; or is thy eye evil, because I am good? 16Thus the last shall be first, and the first last: for the called are many, but the chosen are few. 17And Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem: and he took his twelve disciples aside, on the way, and said to them: 18Behold we are going to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and to the Scribes, and they will condemn him to death. 19And they will deliver him over to the Gentiles: and they will mock him, and will scourge him, and will crucify him; and the third day, he will arise. 20Then came, to him the mother of Zebedee's children, she and her sons; and she worshipped him, and asked something from him. 21And he said to her, What desirest thou? She said to him: Say, that these my two sons shall sit, the one on thy right hand and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. 22Jesus answered and said: Ye know not what ye ask for. Can ye drink of the cup, of which I am to drink? or be baptized with the baptism, that I am baptized with? They say to him: We can. 23He saith to them: Ye will indeed drink of my cup, and will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but that ye should sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, except to those for whom it is prepared by my Father. 24And when the ten heard it, they were angry against the two brothers. 25And Jesus called them, and said to them: Ye know that the princes of the nations are their lords, and their great men exercise authority over them. 26Not so shall it be among you. But whoever among you desireth to be great, let him be to you, a ministerer: 27and whoever among you desireth to be first, let him be your servant: 28even as the Son of man came, not to be served, but to serve; and to give his life a ransom for many. 29And as Jesus passed out of Jericho, a great multitude followed him. 30And lo, two blind men were sitting by the way side. And when they heard that Jesus was passing, they called out, and said: Have compassion on us, my Lord, thou son of David! 31And the multitudes rebuked them, that they might be silent. But they raised their voice the more, and said: Our Lord, have compassion on us, thou son of David. 32And Jesus stopped, and called them, and said: What wish ye, that I should do for you? 33They said to him: Our Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 34And he had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes were opened, and they followed him.
