Matthew 20

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who owned land. He went out early in the morning to hire people to work in his vineyard.

2 He agreed to give them the usual pay for a day's work. Then he sent them into his vineyard.

3 "About nine o'clock in the morning he went out again. He saw others standing in the market place doing nothing.

4 He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard. I'll pay you what is right.'

5 So they went. "He went out again about noon and at three o'clock and did the same thing.

6 About five o'clock he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?'

7 " 'Because no one has hired us,' they answered. "He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.'

8 "When evening came, the owner of the vineyard spoke to the person who was in charge of the workers. He said, 'Call the workers and give them their pay. Begin with the last ones I hired. Then go on to the first ones.'

9 "The workers who were hired about five o'clock came. Each received the usual day's pay.

10 So when those who were hired first came, they expected to receive more. But each of them also received the usual day's pay.

11 "When they received it, they began to complain about the owner.

12 'These people who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said. 'You have paid them the same as us. We have done most of the work and have been in the hot sun all day.'

13 "The owner answered one of them. 'Friend,' he said, 'I'm being fair to you. Didn't you agree to work for the usual day's pay?

14 Take your money and go. I want to give the ones I hired last the same pay I gave you.

15 Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Do you feel cheated because I gave so freely to the others?'

16 "So those who are last will be first. And those who are first will be last."

17 Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the 12 disciples to one side to talk to them.

18 "We are going up to Jerusalem," he said. "The Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will sentence him to death.

19 Then they will turn him over to people who are not Jews. The people will make fun of him and whip him. They will nail him to a cross. On the third day, he will rise from the dead!"

20 The mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus. Her sons came with her. Getting on her knees, she asked a favor of him.

21 "What do you want?" Jesus asked. She said, "Promise me that one of my two sons may sit at your right hand in your kingdom. Promise that the other one may sit at your left hand."

22 "You don't know what you're asking for," Jesus said to them. "Can you drink the cup of suffering I am going to drink?" "We can," they answered.

23 Jesus said to them, "You will certainly drink from my cup. But it is not for me to say who will sit at my right or left hand. These places belong to those my Father has prepared them for."

24 The other ten disciples heard about this. They became angry at the two brothers.

25 Jesus called them together. He said, "You know about the rulers of the nations. They hold power over their people. Their high officials order them around.

26 Don't be like that. Instead, anyone who wants to be important among you must be your servant.

27 And anyone who wants to be first must be your slave.

28 "Be like the Son of Man. He did not come to be served. Instead, he came to serve others. He came to give his life as the price for setting many people free."

29 Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho. A large crowd followed him.

30 Two blind men were sitting by the side of the road. They heard that Jesus was going by. So they shouted, "Lord! Son of David! Have mercy on us!"

31 The crowd commanded them to stop. They told them to be quiet. But the two men shouted even louder, "Lord! Son of David! Have mercy on us!"

32 Jesus stopped and called out to them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.

33 "Lord," they answered, "we want to be able to see."

34 Jesus felt deep concern for them. He touched their eyes. Right away they could see. And they followed him.

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
