Matius 20:7-34

20:7 They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go and work in the vineyard too.’ 20:8 When ¹  it was evening ²  the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and give the pay ³  starting with the last hired until the first.’ 20:9 When those hired about five o’clock came, each received a full day’s pay. ⁴  20:10 And when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more. But each one also received the standard wage. 20:11 When ⁵  they received it, they began to complain ⁶  against the landowner, 20:12 saying, ‘These last fellows worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us who bore the hardship and burning heat of the day.’ 20:13 And the landowner ⁷  replied to one of them, ⁸  ‘Friend, I am not treating you unfairly. Didn’t you agree with me to work for the standard wage? ⁹  20:14 Take what is yours and go. I ¹⁰  want to give to this last man ¹¹  the same as I gave to you. 20:15 Am I not ¹²  permitted to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?’ ¹³  20:16 So the last will be first, and the first last.”

Third Prediction of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection

20:17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, ¹⁴  he took the twelve ¹⁵  aside privately and said to them on the way, 20:18 “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the experts in the law. ¹⁶  They will condemn him to death, 20:19 and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged severely ¹⁷  and crucified. ¹⁸  Yet ¹⁹  on the third day, he will be raised.”

A Request for James and John

20:20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, and kneeling down she asked him for a favor. ²⁰  20:21 He said to her, “What do you want?” She replied, ²¹  “Permit ²²  these two sons of mine to sit, one at your ²³  right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” 20:22 Jesus ²⁴  answered, “You don’t know what you are asking! ²⁵  Are you able to drink the cup I am about to drink?” ²⁶  They said to him, “We are able.” ²⁷  20:23 He told them, “You will drink my cup, ²⁸  but to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to give. Rather, it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

20:24 Now ²⁹  when the other ten ³⁰  heard this, ³¹  they were angry with the two brothers. 20:25 But Jesus called them and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions use their authority over them. 20:26 It must not be this way among you! Instead whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, 20:27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave ³²  – 20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom ³³  for many.”

Two Blind Men Healed

20:29 As they were leaving Jericho, ³⁴  a large crowd followed them. 20:30 Two ³⁵  blind men were sitting by the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they shouted, ³⁶  “Have mercy ³⁷  on us, Lord, Son of David!” ³⁸  20:31 The ³⁹  crowd scolded ⁴⁰  them to get them to be quiet. But they shouted even more loudly, “Lord, have mercy on us, ⁴¹  Son of David!” 20:32 Jesus stopped, called them, and said, “What do you want me to do for you?” 20:33 They said to him, “Lord, let our eyes be opened.” 20:34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
