Matthew 20
1 The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
For the kyngdome of heven ys lyke vnto an houssholder which went out erly in the morninge to hyre labourers into hys vyneyarde.
2 And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
And he agreed wt the labourers for a peny a daye and sent them into his vyneyarde.
3 And going about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place idle.
And he went out about the thyrde houre and sawe other stonding ydell in the marketplace
4 And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just.
and sayd vnto them go ye also into my vyneyarde: and whatsoever is right I will geve you. And they went there waye.
5 And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner.
Agayne he wet out about the sixte and nynthe houre and dyd lyke wyse.
6 But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle?
And he went out aboute the eleventhe houre and founde other stondynge ydell and sayde vnto them: Why stonde ye here all the daye ydell?
7 They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go you also into my vineyard.
They sayde vnto hym: because no man hath hyred vs. He sayde to them: goo ye alsoo into my vyneyarde and whatsoever is right that shall ye receave.
8 And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first.
When even was come the lorde of the vyneyarde sayde vnto hys steward: call the labourers and geve them their hyre beginnyng at ye laste tyll thou come to ye fyrste.
9 When therefore they were come, that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
And they whiche were hyred aboute the eleventhe houre came and receaved every man a peny.
10 But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: and they also received every man a penny.
Then came ye fyrst supposyng yt they shuld receave moare: and they likewyse receaved every man a peny.
11 And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,
And when they had receaved it they murmured agaynst the good man of the housse
12 Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats.
saying: These laste have wrought but one houre and thou hast made them equall vnto vs which have born ye burthe and heet of the daye.
13 But he answering said to one of them: Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?
He answered to one of the sayinge: frende I do the no wronge: dyddest thou not agre wt me for a peny?
14 Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee.
Take that which is thy duty and go thy waye. I will geve vnto this last as moche as to the.
15 Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good?
Ys it not lawfull for me to do as me listeth with myne awne? Ys thyne eye evyll because I am good?
16 So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.
Soo the laste shalbe fyrste and the fyrste shalbe laste. For many are called and feawe be chosen.
17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them:
And Iesus ascended to Ierusalem and toke the. xii. disciples a parte in the waye and sayde to the.
18 Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death.
Beholde we goo vp to Ierusalem and the sonne of ma shalbe betrayed vnto ye chefe prestes and vnto the scribes and they shall condene him to deeth
19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified, and the third day he shall rise again.
and shall delyvre him to the getils to be mocked to be scourged and to be crucified: and ye thyrd daye he shall ryse agayne.
20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him.
Then came to hym the mother of zebedes chyldren with her sonnes worshippynge him and desyringe a certayne thinge of him.
21 Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.
And he sayd vnto her: what wilt thou have? She sayde vnto him: Gravnte that these my two sonnes may sit ye one on thy right hond and the other on ye lifte hond in thy kyngdome.
22 And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can.
Iesus answered and sayd: Ye wot not what ye axe. Are ye able to drynke of the cuppe yt I shall drynke of and to be baptised wt the baptyme that I shalbe baptised with? They answered to him that we are.
23 He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.
And he sayd vnto the: Ye shall drinke of my cvp and shalbe baptised with the baptyme that I shalbe baptised with. But to syt on my ryght hond and on my lyst hond is not myne to geve: but to them for whom it is prepared of my father.
24 And the ten hearing it, were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
And when the ten hearde this they disdayned at ye two brethre:
25 But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that are the greater, exercise power upon them.
But Iesus called them vnto him and sayde: Ye knowe yt the lordes of the gentyls have dominacio over them. And they that are great exercise power over the.
26 It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister:
It shall not be so amoge you. But whosoever wyll be greate amoge you let him be youre minister:
27 And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant.
and whosoever wil be chefe let him be youre servaut
28 Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.
eve as the sonne of man came not to be ministred vnto but to minister and to geve his lyfe for the redempcion of many.
29 And when they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
And as they departed fro Hierico moche people folowed him.
30 And behold two blind men sitting by the way side, heard that Jesus passed by, and they cried out, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us.
And beholde two blinde men sittinge by ye waysyde whe they hearde Iesus passe by cryed sayinge: Thou Lorde ye sonne of David have mercy on vs.
31 And the multitude rebuked them that they should hold their peace. But they cried out the more, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us.
And ye people rebuked them be cause they shulde holde their peace. But they cryed ye moare sayinge: have mercy on vs thou Lorde which arte ye sonne of David.
32 And Jesus stood, and called them, and said: What will ye that I do to you?
Then Iesus stode styll and called the and sayde: what will ye that I shulde do to you:
33 They say to him: Lord, that our eyes be opened.
They sayd to him: Lorde that oure eyes maye be opened.
34 And Jesus having compassion on them, touched their eyes. And immediately they saw, and followed him.
Iesus had copassion on the and touched their eyes. And immediatly their eyes receaved syght. And they folowed him.
