Matthew 20

1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

For the kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine, housholder, which went out at the dawning of the day to hire labourers into his vineyarde.

2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

And he agreed with the labourers for a peny a day, and sent them into his vineyard.

3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle;

And he went out about the third houre, and sawe other standing idle in the market place,

4 and to them he said, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

And sayd vnto them, Goe ye also into my vineyard, and whatsoeuer is right, I will giue you: and they went their way.

5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.

Againe he went out about the sixt and ninth houre, and did likewise.

6 And about the eleventh [hour] he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

And he went about the eleuenth houre, and found other standing idle, and sayd vnto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard.

They sayd vnto him, Because no man hath hired vs. He sayd to them, Goe ye also into my vineyard, and whatsoeuer is right, that shall ye receiue.

8 And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.

And when euen was come, the master of the vineyard sayd vnto his steward, Call the labourers, and giue them their hire, beginning at the last, till thou come to the first.

9 And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

And they which were hired about ye eleuenth houre, came and receiued euery man a penie.

10 And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

Nowe when the first came, they supposed that they should receiue more, but they likewise receiued euery man a penie.

11 And when they received it, they murmured against the householder,

And when they had receiued it, they murmured against the master of the house,

12 saying, These last have spent [but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.

Saying, These last haue wrought but one houre, and thou hast made them equall vnto vs, which haue borne the burden and heate of the day.

13 But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

And hee answered one of them, saying, Friend, I doe thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penie?

14 Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee.

Take that which is thine owne, and go thy way: I will giue vnto this last, as much as to thee.

15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good?

Is it not lawfull for me to do as I will with mine owne? Is thine eye euil, because I am good?

16 So the last shall be first, and the first last.

So the last shalbe first, and the first last: for many are called, but fewe chosen.

17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and in the way he said unto them,

And Iesus went vp to Hierusalem, and tooke the twelue disciples apart in the way, and said vnto them,

18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death,

Beholde, wee goe vp to Hierusalem, and the Sonne of man shall bee deliuered vnto the chiefe priestes, and vnto the Scribes, and they shall condemne him to death,

19 and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up.

And shall deliuer him to the Gentiles, to mocke, and to scourge, and to crucifie him, but the third day he shall rise againe.

20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping [him], and asking a certain thing of him.

Then came to him the mother of Zebedeus children with her sonnes, worshipping him, and desiring a certaine thing of him.

21 And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom.

And he said vnto her, What wouldest thou? She said to him, Graunt that these my two sonnes may sit, the one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left hand in thy kingdome.

22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able.

And Iesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye aske. Are ye able to drinke of the cup that I shall drinke of, and to be baptized with the baptisme that I shalbe baptized with? They said to 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 hand, is not mine to give, but [it is for them] for whom it hath been prepared of my Father.

And he said vnto them, Ye shall drinke in deede of my cup, and shall be baptized with the baptisme, that I am baptized with, but to sit at my right hande, and at my left hand, is not mine to giue: but it shalbe giuen to them for whome it is prepared of my Father.

24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren.

And when the other ten heard this, they disdained at the two brethren.

25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

Therefore Iesus called them vnto him, and saide, We knowe that the lordes of the Gentiles haue domination ouer them, and they that are great, exercise authoritie ouer them.

26 Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister;

But it shall not be so among you: but whosoeuer will be great among you, let him be your seruant.

27 and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant:

And whosoeuer will be chiefe among you, let him be your seruant.

28 even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Euen as the Sonne of man came not to be serued, but to serue, and to giue his life for the ransome of many.

29 And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

And as they departed from Iericho, a great multitude followed him.

30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David.

And beholde, two blinde men, sitting by the way side, when they heard that Iesus passed by, cryed, saying, O Lord, the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on vs.

31 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David.

And the multitude rebuked them, because they should holde their peace: but they cried the more, saying, O Lord, the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on vs.

32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you?

Then Iesus stoode still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do to you?

33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

They saide to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

34 And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes: and straightway they received their sight, and followed him.

And Iesus mooued with compassion, touched their eyes, and immediatly their eyes receiued sight, and they followed him.
