Matthew 20

1 For the gospel-kingdom is like the master of a family, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard:

Like for is the kingdom of the heavens to a man a master of a house who went out in [the] morning to hire workmen for the vineyard of him.

2 and agreeing with the men for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard:

(and *o*) Having agreed then with the workmen for a denarius for the day he sent them into the vineyard of him.

3 and going out about the third hour he saw others standing in the market-place doing nothing,

And having gone out about (the *k*) third hour he saw others already standing in the marketplace idle

4 and said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and what is reasonable I will give you: so they went.

and to those he said; do go also you yourselves into the vineyard, and whatever if shall be right I will give you. And they went.

5 And going out again about the sixth and ninth hour he did in like manner.

Again (then *no*) having gone out about [the] sixth and ninth hour he did likewise.

6 And going out about the eleventh hour, he found others standing without work, and saith to them, Why stand ye here all the day doing nothing?

About then the eleventh (hour *k*) having gone out he found others already standing (idle *K*) and he says to them; Why here you have stood all the day idle?

7 They say unto him, because no one hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatever is reasonable ye shall receive.

They say to him Because no [one] us has hired. He says to them; do go also You yourselves into the vineyard’ (and what if shall be right you will receive. *K*)

8 Now when evening was come, the owner of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the work-men and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first.

Evening then having arrived says the master of the vineyard to the foreman of him; do call the workmen and do pay to them the wages having begun from the last until the first.

9 And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every one a penny:

And having come (now *o*) those [hired] about the eleventh hour they received each a denarius.

10 but when the first came, they thought that they should receive more; and they also received every one a penny.

(And *no*) having come (now *k*) the first they thought that (more *N(k)O*) they will receive; but they received (those *no*) each a denarius also themselves.

11 And after they had received it they murmured against the master of the house,

Having received now they were grumbling against the master of the house

12 saying, These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burthen and heat of the day.

saying (that: *k*) These the last one hour worked, and equal to us them you have made, to [we] who having borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.

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 answering to one of them he said; Friend, not I do wrong you; Surely for a denarius you did agree with me?

14 Take what is thine, and be gone: it is my pleasure to give to this last as I do to thee;

do take what [is] yours and do go. I desire now to this last to give as also to you;

15 and may I not do what I will with my own?

Or surely it is lawful for me what I want to do with that which [is] mine? (Or *N(K)O*) the eye of you envious is because I myself generous am?

16 Is thine eye evil because I am good? Thus the last shall be first, and the first last; for there are many called, but few chosen.

Thus will be the last first and the first last (many for are called few now chosen. *KO*)

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

And (soon to be *O*) (now *o*) (going up *NK(o)*) Jesus to Jerusalem He took the twelve disciples aside [on their] own and on the way He said to them;

18 and the son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death,

Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death

19 and deliver Him up to the gentiles, to insult, and to scourge, and to crucify Him. But on the third day He shall rise again.

and they will betray Him to the Gentiles unto to mock and to flog and to crucify; and on the third day (He will rise again. *N(k)O*)

20 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him, together with her two sons, falling down before Him, and presenting a petition to Him.

Then came to Him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with the sons of her kneeling down and asking something (away from *N(k)O*) Him.

21 And He said unto her, What dost thou desire? She saith unto Him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on the left in thy kingdom.

And He said to her; What do you desire? She says to Him; do say that may sit these two sons of mine one on [the] right hand of You and one on [the] left hand (of You *no*) in the kingdom of You.

22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask: are ye able to drink of the cup which I am going to drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

Answering now Jesus said; Not you know what you ask for. Are you able to drink the cup which I myself am about to drink (and *K(o)*) (baptism what I myself am baptized to be baptized? *K*) They say to Him; We are able.

23 They replied, We are able. And He saith unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of my cup, and shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but to those for whom it is prepared by my Father.

(and *k*) He says to them; Indeed the cup of Mine You will drink (and baptism what I myself am baptized will be baptized *K*) but to sit on [the] right hand of Me and on [the] left (of me *k*) not is Mine (this *n*) to give, but [to those] for whom it has been prepared by the Father of Mine.

24 And when the other ten heard it, they were provoked at the two brethren:

And having heard [this] the ten were indignant about the two brothers.

25 but Jesus called them to Him and said, Ye know that the princes of the gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority upon them:

And Jesus having called to [him] them said; You know that the rulers of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and the great ones exercise authority over them.

26 it shall not be so among you; but whosoever would be great among you, let him be your minister, and whoever would be chief among you,

Not thus (now *k*) (will it be *NK(o)*) among you, but who[ever] (if *NK(o)*) shall wish among you great to become, (he will be *N(k)O*) your servant;

27 let him be your servant:

and who[ever] (maybe *N(k)O*) shall wish among you to be first, (he will be *N(k)O*) your slave;

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

even as the Son of Man not came to be served but to serve and to give the life of Him [as] a ransom for many.

29 And as they were going from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him:

And when were going out they from Jericho followed Him a crowd great.

30 and behold, two blind men siting by the way-side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.

And behold two blind [men] sitting beside the road, having heard that Jesus is passing by, cried out saying; do have mercy on us Lord (Jesus *O*) (Son *NK(O)*) of David.

31 And the people rebuked them, that they might hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.

And the crowd rebuked them that they may be silent. But all the more (they cried out *N(k)O*) saying: do have mercy on us Lord, (Son *NK(O)*) of David.

32 And Jesus stopt and called them, and said, What do ye desire me to do for you?

And having stopped Jesus called them and said; What do you desire I may do unto you?

33 They answered Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

They say to Him; Lord, that (may be opened *N(k)O*) the eyes of us.

34 And Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes; and straightway their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.

Having been moved with compassion then Jesus touched the (eyes *N(k)O*) of them, and immediately they received sight (of them eyes *k*) and they followed Him.
