“For the Kingdom of Heaven (God) is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius [one day’s wage] a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
He went out about nine in the morning, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.
Again he went out about noon and three in the afternoon, and did likewise.

About a hour before sunset he went out, and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’
“They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’

When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.’
“When those who were hired a hour before sunset came, they each received a denarius [one day’s wage].
When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius [one day’s wage].
When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓϩⲁⲉⲉⲩ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲁⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲕϣⲁϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϥⲓ ⲙⲡⲃⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲕⲁⲩⲥⲱⲛ
saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉϣⲃⲏⲣ ⲛϯϫⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥⲙⲛⲧⲥ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲥⲁⲧⲉⲉⲣⲉ
“But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no unjust criminal action sin ·miss the mark and is without share in the goal·. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius [one day’s wage]?
Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
Is not it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good? Do you begrudge my generosity?’
So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”

As Yeshua [Salvation] was going up to Jerusalem [City of peace], he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲥⲉⲧϭⲁⲓⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ
“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem [City of peace], and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and Torah-Teachers, and they will condemn him to death,

and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee [Bestowed by Yah] came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϫⲓⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲓϩⲃⲟⲩⲣ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ
He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲛϣϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲥⲉⲡϫⲱ ⲉϯⲛⲁⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉ
But Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with?” They said to him, “We are able.”
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁϫⲱ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲏ ϩⲓϩⲃⲟⲩⲣ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲙⲡⲱⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲁⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲁⲉⲓⲱⲧ
He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with, but to sit at my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by 'Avi ·my Father·.”
When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

But Yeshua [Salvation] summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

It shall not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bond-servant,
even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
As they went out from Jericho [Fragrant, Moon], a great multitude followed him.
30 ⲗ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲃⲗⲗⲉ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲧⲛⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ
Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Yeshua [Salvation] was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David [Beloved]!”
31 ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲕⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲁⲩϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ
The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David [Beloved]!”
Yeshua [Salvation] stood still, and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
Yeshua [Salvation], being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
