1 The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
2 And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
2 He agreed to pay them a denariusfor the day and sent them into his vineyard.
3 And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the marketplace idle.
3 “About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.
4 And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just.
4 He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’
5 And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner.
5 So they went. “He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing.
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?
6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’
7 They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go ye also into my vineyard.
7 “ ‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. “He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’
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.
8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’
9 When therefore they were come that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius.
10 But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: And they also received every man a penny.
10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius.
11 And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,
11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner.
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.
12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’
13 But he answering said to one of them: friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?
13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius?
14 Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee.
14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you.
15 Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? Is thy eye evil, because I am good?
15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
16 So shall the last be first and the first last. For many are called but few chosen.
16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

18 “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death

20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor 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.
21 “What is it you want?” he asked. She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.”
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.
22 “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?”“We can,” they answered.
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.
23 Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”

25 But Jesus called them to him and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and that they that are the greater, exercise power upon them.
25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.
26 It shall not be so among you: but whosoever is the greater among you, let him be your minister.
26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
27 And he that will be first among you shall be your servant.
27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—
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.
28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
