Matthew 20

The Message Bible MSG

1 "God's kingdom is like an estate manager who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

2 They agreed on a wage of a dollar a day, and went to work.

3 "Later, about nine o'clock, the manager saw some other men hanging around the town square unemployed.

4 He told them to go to work in his vineyard and he would pay them a fair wage.

5 They went.

6 At five o'clock he went back and found still others standing around. He said, 'Why are you standing around all day doing nothing?

7 ' "They said, 'Because no one hired us.' "He told them to go to work in his vineyard.

8 "When the day's work was over, the owner of the vineyard instructed his foreman, 'Call the workers in and pay them their wages. Start with the last hired and go on to the first.'

9 "Those hired at five o'clock came up and were each given a dollar.

10 When those who were hired first saw that, they assumed they would get far more. But they got the same, each of them one dollar.

11 Taking the dollar, they groused angrily to the manager,

12 'These last workers put in only one easy hour, and you just made them equal to us, who slaved all day under a scorching sun.'

13 "He replied to the one speaking for the rest, 'Friend, I haven't been unfair. We agreed on the wage of a dollar, didn't we?

14 So take it and go. I decided to give to the one who came last the same as you.

15 Can't I do what I want with my own money? Are you going to get stingy because I am generous?'

16 "Here it is again, the Great Reversal: many of the first ending up last, and the last first."

17 Jesus, now well on the way up to Jerusalem, took the Twelve off to the side of the road and said,

18 "Listen to me carefully. We are on our way up to Jerusalem. When we get there, the Son of Man will be betrayed to the religious leaders and scholars. They will sentence him to death.

19 They will then hand him over to the Romans for mockery and torture and crucifixion. On the third day he will be raised up alive."

20 It was about that time that the mother of the Zebedee brothers came with her two sons and knelt before Jesus with a request.

21 "What do you want?" Jesus asked. She said, "Give your word that these two sons of mine will be awarded the highest places of honor in your kingdom, one at your right hand, one at your left hand."

22 Jesus responded, "You have no idea what you're asking." And he said to James and John, "Are you capable of drinking the cup that I'm about to drink?" They said, "Sure, why not?"

23 Jesus said, "Come to think of it, you are going to drink my cup. But as to awarding places of honor, that's not my business. My Father is taking care of that."

24 When the ten others heard about this, they lost their tempers, thoroughly disgusted with the two brothers.

25 So Jesus got them together to settle things down. He said, "You've observed how godless rulers throw their weight around, how quickly a little power goes to their heads.

26 It's not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant.

27 Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave.

28 That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not be served - and then to give away his life in exchange for the many who are held hostage."

29 As they were leaving Jericho, a huge crowd followed.

30 Suddenly they came upon two blind men sitting alongside the road. When they heard it was Jesus passing, they cried out, "Master, have mercy on us! Mercy, Son of David!"

31 The crowd tried to hush them up, but they got all the louder, crying, "Master, have mercy on us! Mercy, Son of David!"

32 Jesus stopped and called over, "What do you want from me?"

33 They said, "Master, we want our eyes opened. We want to see!"

34 Deeply moved, Jesus touched their eyes. They had their sight back that very instant, and joined the procession.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 simile est enim regnum caelorum homini patri familias qui exiit primo mane conducere operarios in vineam suam

2 conventione autem facta cum operariis ex denario diurno misit eos in vineam suam

3 et egressus circa horam tertiam vidit alios stantes in foro otiosos

4 et illis dixit ite et vos in vineam et quod iustum fuerit dabo vobis

5 illi autem abierunt iterum autem exiit circa sextam et nonam horam et fecit similiter

6 circa undecimam vero exiit et invenit alios stantes et dicit illis quid hic statis tota die otiosi

7 dicunt ei quia nemo nos conduxit dicit illis ite et vos in vineam

8 cum sero autem factum esset dicit dominus vineae procuratori suo voca operarios et redde illis mercedem incipiens a novissimis usque ad primos

9 cum venissent ergo qui circa undecimam horam venerant acceperunt singulos denarios

10 venientes autem et primi arbitrati sunt quod plus essent accepturi acceperunt autem et ipsi singulos denarios

11 et accipientes murmurabant adversus patrem familias

12 dicentes hii novissimi una hora fecerunt et pares illos nobis fecisti qui portavimus pondus diei et aestus

13 at ille respondens uni eorum dixit amice non facio tibi iniuriam nonne ex denario convenisti mecum

14 tolle quod tuum est et vade volo autem et huic novissimo dare sicut et tibi

15 aut non licet mihi quod volo facere an oculus tuus nequam est quia ego bonus sum

16 sic erunt novissimi primi et primi novissimi multi sunt enim vocati pauci autem electi

17 et ascendens Iesus Hierosolymam adsumpsit duodecim discipulos secreto et ait illis

18 ecce ascendimus Hierosolymam et Filius hominis tradetur principibus sacerdotum et scribis et condemnabunt eum morte

19 et tradent eum gentibus ad deludendum et flagellandum et crucifigendum et tertia die resurget

20 tunc accessit ad eum mater filiorum Zebedaei cum filiis suis adorans et petens aliquid ab eo

21 qui dixit ei quid vis ait illi dic ut sedeant hii duo filii mei unus ad dexteram tuam et unus ad sinistram in regno tuo

22 respondens autem Iesus dixit nescitis quid petatis potestis bibere calicem quem ego bibiturus sum dicunt ei possumus

23 ait illis calicem quidem meum bibetis sedere autem ad dexteram meam et sinistram non est meum dare vobis sed quibus paratum est a Patre meo

24 et audientes decem indignati sunt de duobus fratribus

25 Iesus autem vocavit eos ad se et ait scitis quia principes gentium dominantur eorum et qui maiores sunt potestatem exercent in eos

26 non ita erit inter vos sed quicumque voluerit inter vos maior fieri sit vester minister

27 et qui voluerit inter vos primus esse erit vester servus

28 sicut Filius hominis non venit ministrari sed ministrare et dare animam suam redemptionem pro multis

29 et egredientibus eis ab Hiericho secuta est eum turba multa

30 et ecce duo caeci sedentes secus viam audierunt quia Iesus transiret et clamaverunt dicentes Domine miserere nostri Fili David

31 turba autem increpabat eos ut tacerent at illi magis clamabant dicentes Domine miserere nostri Fili David

32 et stetit Iesus et vocavit eos et ait quid vultis ut faciam vobis

33 dicunt illi Domine ut aperiantur oculi nostri

34 misertus autem eorum Iesus tetigit oculos eorum et confestim viderunt et secuti sunt eum
