Matthew 19; Matthew 20

1 And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea, beyond Jordan:

2 And great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.

3 The Pharisees also came to him, tempting him, and saying to him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4 And he answered and said to them, Have ye not read, that he who made [them], at the beginning made them male and female,

5 And said, For this [cause] shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh?

6 Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

7 They say to him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

8 He saith to them, Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

9 And I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except for lewdness, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoever marrieth her who is put away, committeth adultery.

10 His disciples say to him, If the case of the man is so with [his] wife, it is not good to marry.

11 But he said to them, All [men] cannot receive this saying, save [they] to whom it is given.

12 For there are some eunuchs, who were so born from [their] mothers womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].

13 Then were brought to him little children, that he should put [his] hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

15 And he laid [his] hands on them, and departed thence.

16 And behold, one came and said to him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?

17 And he said to him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

18 He saith to him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

19 Honor thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

20 The young man saith to him, All these things have I kept from my youth: what lack I yet?

21 Jesus said to him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and] sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me.

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

23 Then said Jesus to his disciples, Verily I say to you, that a rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of heaven.

24 And again I say to you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

25 When his disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

26 But Jesus beheld [them], and said to them, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

27 Then answered Peter, and said to him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee? what shall we have therefore?

28 And Jesus said to them, Verily I say to you, that ye who have followed me in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

30 But many [that are] first shall be last, and the last [shall be] first.

1 For the kingdom of heaven is like to a man [that is] a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.

2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market-place,

4 And said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is right, I will give you. And they departed.

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

6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

7 They say to him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is right, [that] shall ye receive.

8 So when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the laborers, and give them [their] hire, beginning from the last to the first.

9 And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should receive more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

11 And when they had received [it], they murmured against the master of the house.

12 Saying, These last have wrought [but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.

13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?

14 Take [that] which [is] thine, and depart: I will give to this last, even as to thee.

15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? is thy eye evil because I am good?

16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many are called, but few chosen.

17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said to them,

18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

19 And will deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify [him]: and the third day he will rise again.

20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children, with her sons, worshiping [him], and desiring a certain thing of him.

21 And he said to her, What wilt thou: She saith to him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left in thy kingdom.

22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say to him, We are able.

23 And he saith to them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but [it shall be given] to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.

24 And when the ten heard [it], they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

25 But Jesus called them [to him], and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

26 But it shall not be so among you: but whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

27 And whoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the way-side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, [thou] son of David.

31 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, [thou] son of David.

32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do to you?

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

34 So Jesus had compassion [on them], and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
