^29 (A)And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold^[a] and will ^(B)inherit eternal life. ³⁰ But ^(C)many who are ^(D)first will be last, and the last first.

¹⁴ Take ^(A)what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. ^15 (B)Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or ^(C)do you begrudge my generosity?’^{[a] 16} So ^(D)the last will be first, and the first last.”

³⁴ But they kept silent, for on the way ^(A)they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. ³⁵ And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, ^(B)“If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” ³⁶ And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and ^(C)taking him in his arms, he said to them, ^37 (D)“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and ^(E)whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.”

²⁹ Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, ^(A)there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and ^(B)for the gospel, ³⁰ who will not receive a hundredfold ^(C)now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, ^(D)with persecutions, and in ^(E)the age to come eternal life. ³¹ But ^(F)many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

^28 (A)In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see ^(B)Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but ^(C)you yourselves cast out. ²⁹ And ^(D)people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and ^(E)recline at table in the kingdom of God. ³⁰ And behold, ^(F)some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
