Matthew 20
World English Bible
20 “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius[a] a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 He went out about the third hour,[b] and saw others standing idle in the marketplace. 4 He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour,[c] and did likewise. 6 About the eleventh hour[d] he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’
7 “They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’
“He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’
8 “When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.’ 9 “When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius. 10 When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household, 12 saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’
13 “But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you. 15 Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’ 16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them, 18 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death, 19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him. 21 He said to her, “What do you want?”
She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”
22 But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
They said to him, “We are able.”
23 He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
24 When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
25 But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26 It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be[e] your servant. 27 Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant, 28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
29 As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. 30 Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!” 31 The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
32 Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
33 They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
34 Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.

The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard
20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like(A) a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.(B) 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius[a] for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
3 “About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ 5 So they went.
“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. 6 About five in the afternoon 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,(C) the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’
9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble(D) against the landowner. 12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat(E) of the day.’
13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend.(F) Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’(G)
16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”(H)
Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time(I)
17 Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, 18 “We are going up to Jerusalem,(J) and the Son of Man(K) will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law.(L) They will condemn him to death 19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged(M) and crucified.(N) On the third day(O) he will be raised to life!”(P)
A Mother’s Request(Q)
20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons(R) came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down,(S) asked a favor of him.
21 “What is it you want?” he asked.
She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.”(T)
22 “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup(U) I am going to drink?”
“We can,” they answered.
23 Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup,(V) but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”
24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant(W) with the two brothers. 25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,(X) 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man(Y) did not come to be served, but to serve,(Z) and to give his life as a ransom(AA) for many.”
Two Blind Men Receive Sight(AB)
29 As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. 30 Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David,(AC) have mercy on us!”
31 The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
32 Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.
33 “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.”
34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

Mateo 20
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang mga Manggagawa sa Ubasan
20 Sinabi pa ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ang paghahari ng Dios ay maitutulad sa kwentong ito: Isang araw, maagang lumabas ang isang may-ari ng ubasan para humanap ng mga manggagawa. 2 Nang makakita siya ng mga manggagawa, nakipagkasundo siya sa kanila na makakatanggap sila ng karampatang sahod para sa isang araw na trabaho, at pagkatapos ay pinapunta ang mga ito sa ubasan niya. 3 Nang mga alas nuwebe na ng umaga, lumabas siyang muli at may nakita siyang mga taong walang trabaho at nakatambay lang sa may pamilihan. 4 Sinabi niya sa kanila, ‘Pumunta kayo sa ubasan ko at magtrabaho. Babayaran ko kayo nang nararapat.’ 5 Kaya pumunta ang mga ito sa ubasan. Nang bandang tanghali, muli siyang lumabas at may nakita pang ilang mga tao. Pinagtrabaho rin niya ang mga ito. Ito rin ang ginawa niya nang mga alas tres na ng hapon. 6 Nang mag-aalas singko na ng hapon, muli na naman siyang lumabas at nakakita pa ng mga ilan na nakatambay lang. Sinabi niya sa kanila, ‘Bakit maghapon kayong nakatayo riyan at walang ginagawa?’ 7 Sumagot sila, ‘Dahil wala naman pong nagbigay sa amin ng trabaho.’ Sinabi niya sa kanila, ‘Pumunta kayo sa ubasan ko at magtrabaho.’
8 “Nang magtatakip-silim na, sinabi ng may-ari sa kanyang katiwala, ‘Tawagin mo na ang mga manggagawa at bigyan ng sahod. Unahin mo ang mga huling nagtrabaho, hanggang sa mga unang nagtrabaho.’ 9 Dumating ang mga nagsimula nang alas singko ng hapon, at tumanggap sila ng sahod para sa isang araw na trabaho. 10 Nang dumating na ang mga naunang nagtrabaho, inakala nilang tatanggap sila ng higit kaysa sa mga huling nagtrabaho. Pero tumanggap din sila ng ganoon ding halaga. 11 Pagkatanggap nila ng sahod, nagreklamo sila sa may-ari ng ubasan. 12 Sinabi nila, ‘Ang mga huling dumating ay isang oras lang nagtrabaho, samantalang kami ay nagtrabaho ng buong araw at nagtiis ng init, pero pareho lang ang sahod namin!’ 13 Sinagot ng may-ari ang isa sa kanila, ‘Kaibigan, hindi kita dinadaya. Hindi baʼt nagkasundo tayo na bibigyan kita ng sahod para sa isang araw na trabaho? 14 Kaya tanggapin mo na ang sahod mo, at umuwi ka na. Desisyon ko na bigyan ng parehong sahod ang mga huling nagtrabaho. 15 Hindi baʼt may karapatan akong gawin ang gusto ko sa pera ko? O naiinggit lang kayo dahil mabuti ako sa kanila?’ ” 16 Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Jesus, “Ganyan din ang mangyayari sa huling araw. May mga hamak ngayon na magiging dakila, at may mga dakila ngayon na magiging hamak.”
Ang Ikatlong Pagpapahayag ni Jesus tungkol sa Kanyang Kamatayan(A)
17 Habang naglalakad sina Jesus papuntang Jerusalem, inihiwalay niya ang 12 tagasunod sa mga tao. Sinabi niya sa kanila, 18 “Pupunta na tayo sa Jerusalem, at ako na Anak ng Tao ay ipagkakanulo sa mga namamahalang pari at mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Hahatulan nila ako ng kamatayan 19 at ibibigay sa mga hindi Judio para insultuhin, hagupitin at ipako sa krus. Ngunit mabubuhay akong muli sa ikatlong araw.”
Ang Kahilingan ng Ina nina Santiago at Juan(B)
20 Lumapit kay Jesus ang asawa ni Zebedee, kasama ang dalawang anak niyang lalaki. Lumuhod siya kay Jesus dahil may gusto siyang hilingin. 21 Tinanong siya ni Jesus, “Ano ang gusto mo?” Sumagot siya, “Kung maaari po sana, kapag naghahari na kayo, paupuin nʼyo ang dalawa kong anak sa tabi nʼyo; isa sa kanan at isa sa kaliwa.” 22 Pero sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Hindi ninyo alam kung ano ang hinihingi ninyo. Kaya ba ninyong tiisin ang mga pagdurusang titiisin ko?”[a] Sumagot sila, “Opo, kaya namin.” 23 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Maaaring kaya nga ninyong tiisin. Ngunit hindi ako ang pumipili kung sino ang uupo sa kanan o sa kaliwa ko. Ang mga lugar na iyon ay para lang sa mga pinaglaanan ng aking Ama.”
24 Nang malaman ng sampung tagasunod kung ano ang hiningi ng magkapatid, nagalit sila sa kanila. 25 Kaya tinawag silang lahat ni Jesus at sinabi, “Alam ninyong ang mga pinuno ng mga bansa ay may kapangyarihan sa mga taong nasasakupan nila, at kahit anong gustuhin nila ay nasusunod. 26 Ngunit hindi dapat ganyan ang umiral sa inyo. Sa halip, ang sinuman sa inyo na gustong maging dakila ay dapat maging lingkod ninyo. 27 At ang sinuman sa inyo na gustong maging pinuno ay dapat maging alipin ninyo. 28 Maging ako na Anak ng Tao ay naparito sa mundo, hindi upang paglingkuran kundi upang maglingkod at magbigay ng aking buhay para maligtas ang maraming tao.”
Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Dalawang Bulag(C)
29 Nang papaalis na sa Jerico si Jesus at ang mga tagasunod niya, sinundan sila ng napakaraming tao. 30 Samantala, may dalawang bulag doon na nakaupo sa tabi ng daan. Nang marinig nilang dumaraan si Jesus, sumigaw sila, “Panginoon, Anak ni David,[b] maawa po kayo sa amin!” 31 Pero sinaway sila ng mga tao at pinagsabihang manahimik. Ngunit lalo pa nilang nilakasan ang kanilang pagsigaw, “Panginoon, Anak ni David, maawa po kayo sa amin!” 32 Tumigil si Jesus, tinawag sila, at tinanong, “Ano ang gusto ninyong gawin ko sa inyo?” 33 Sumagot sila, “Panginoon, gusto po naming makakita.” 34 Naawa si Jesus sa kanila, kaya hinipo niya ang kanilang mga mata. Agad silang nakakita at sumunod kay Jesus.
