Matthew 20

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 For the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who went out early in the morning to get workers into his vine-garden.

2 And when he had made an agreement with the workmen for a penny a day, he sent them into his vine-garden.

3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others in the market-place doing nothing;

4 And he said to them, Go into the vine-garden with the others, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went to work.

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

6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and saw others doing nothing; and he says to them, Why are you here all the day doing nothing?

7 They say to him, Because no man has given us work. He says to them, Go in with the rest, into the vine-garden.

8 And when evening came, the lord of the vine-garden said to his manager, Let the workers come, and give them their payment, from the last to the first.

9 And when those men came who had gone to work at the eleventh hour, they were given every man a penny.

10 Then those who came first had the idea that they would get more; and they, like the rest, were given a penny.

11 And when they got it, they made a protest against the master of the house,

12 Saying, These last have done only one hour's work, and you have made them equal to us, who have undergone the hard work of the day and the burning heat.

13 But he in answer said to one of them, Friend, I do you no wrong: did you not make an agreement with me for a penny?

14 Take what is yours, and go away; it is my pleasure to give to this last, even as to you.

15 Have I not the right to do as seems good to me in my house? or is your eye evil, because I am good?

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

17 And when Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples on one side, and said to them,

18 See, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be given into the hands of the chief priests and scribes; and they will give orders for him to be put to death,

19 And will give him up to the Gentiles to be made sport of and to be whipped and to be put to death on the cross: and the third day he will come back again from the dead.

20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, giving him worship and making a request of him.

21 And he said to her, What is your desire? She says to him, Let my two sons be seated, the one at your right hand, and the other at your left, in your kingdom.

22 But Jesus made answer and said, You have no idea what you are requesting. Are you able to take of the cup which I am about to take?

23 They say to him, We are able. He says to them, Truly, you will take of my cup: but to be seated at my right hand and at my left is not for me to give, but it is for those for whom my Father has made it ready.

24 And when it came to the ears of the ten, they were angry with the two brothers.

25 But Jesus said to them, You see that the rulers of the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.

26 Let it not be so among you: but if anyone has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant;

27 And whoever has a desire to be first among you, let him take the lowest place:

28 Even as the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

29 And when they were going out from Jericho, a great number went after him.

30 And two blind men seated by the wayside, when they had the news that Jesus was going by, gave a loud cry, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

31 And the people gave them orders to be quiet; but they went on crying even louder, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

32 And Jesus, stopping, sent for them, and said, What would you have me do to you?

33 They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be open.

34 And Jesus, being moved with pity, put his fingers on their eyes: and straight away they were able to see, and went after him.

1 0 The Malchut HaShomayim is like a man, the Baal Bayit, who went out early in the boker, to hire poalim (workers) for his kerem.

2 And having agreed with the poalim to salary them a denarius for their day’s pay, the Baal Bayit sent them into his kerem.

3 And having gone out around the third hour, the Baal Bayit saw others loitering in the marketplace,

4 and he said to those, You go also into the kerem. And whatever is right, this is what your pay will be.

5 And they left. And again, having gone out around the sixth and the ninth hour, the Baal Bayit did the same thing.

6 And around the eleventh hour, having gone out, the Baal Bayit found others standing around, and he says to them, Why have you been standing here all the day not working?

7 The idle workers say to the Baal Bayit, Because no one hired us. The Baal Bayit says to them, You go also into the kerem.

8 And when erev had come, another man, the owner of the kerem, says to his foreman, Call the poalim and give to them the wage, beginning with the acharonim and going to the rishonim.

9 And the ones that came around the eleventh hour each received a denarius.

10 And when the rishonim came, they were under the impression that they would receive a larger sum; instead, they themselves each received a denarius.

11 And when they received the denarius, they were complaining against the Baal Bayit,

12 saying, These acharonim worked one hour, and you made them equal to us, the ones having endured the burden and the heat of the whole day.

13 But the Baal Bayit said in reply to one of them, Chaver, I am not cheating you. Did you not agree that I would pay you the usual day’s wage, a denarius?

14 Take what belongs to you, your denarius, and go. But it is my ratzon, my good pleasure, to give to this one who is last also what I gave to you.

15 Or is it not allowable for me to do what I wish with the things that are mine? Or do you look with a jealous ayin horo upon my goodness?

16 Thus the Rishonim will be Acharonim, and the Acharonim will be Rishonim. For the invited ones are many, but the nivcharim (chosen ones) are few.

17 And going up to Yerushalayim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took the Shneym Asar Talmidim aside in a yechidus and, on the way, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them,

18 Hinei! We are going up to Yerushalayim, and the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach] will be handed over to the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim (scribes, Torah-teachers, or rabbonim), and they will condemn him to death.

19 And they will hand Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach over to the Goyim in order to mock and to whip and to hang him up TALUI AL HAETZ (being hanged on the Tree DEVARIM 21:23), and after his histalkus (passing), on the Yom HaShlishi (Third Day) there will be Techiyas HaMoshiach.

20 Then the Em of Zavdai’s banim, along with the sons, approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and, prostrating herself before him, she made a bakosha (request) of him.

21 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to her, What do you wish? She says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Say that these, my two banim, may sit, one on your right, the other on your left, in your [the Moshiach’s] Malchut.

22 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, You do not have daas of what you are asking. Are you able to drink the Kos which I am about to drink? They say, We are able.

23 Moshiach says to them, Indeed, you will drink my Kos, but to sit on the right and on the left of me, this is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my [Moshiach’s] Av.

24 And having heard this, HaAsarah (The Ten) became indignant about the two achim (brothers).

25 But Moshiach, having summoned them, said, You have daas that those who have the rule over the Goyim domineer them like tyrants.

26 But it will not be thus among you. For whoever wishes to be gadol among you will become your mesharet (servant, minister).

27 And whoever wishes among you to be rishon (first) will be your eved (servant).

28 Just as the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach] did not come to be served, to be ministered to, but to serve, to minister, and to give his neshamah, his nefesh, as a kofer (ransom, pedut) LARABBIM (for the sake of many, for the Geulah Redemption of many, YESHAYAH 53:11).

29 And, as they were going out from Yericho, a great multitude followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

30 And hinei! Two ivrim (blind men), sitting beside the road, having heard that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is passing by, shouted, crying out, Adoneinu, Ben Dovid, chaneinu, yhi chasedcha aleinu (have mercy on us TEHILLIM 33:22)!

31 However, the crowd rebuked the two ivrim, that they be silent, but they shouted even more, saying Chaneinu, Adoneinu Ben Dovid!

32 And having stopped, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach called to them and said, What do you wish that I should do for you?

33 They say to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach: Adoneinu, that our eyes may be opened!

34 And having been filled with rachmei shomayim (heavenly mercy, compassion), he touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes were opened and they followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
