葡萄园工人的比喻

20 耶稣接着说:“因为天国就像一个园主清早去外面请工人到他的葡萄园做工。 他跟工人讲好一天的工钱是一个银币,然后派他们去葡萄园。

“大约上午九点钟,园主出去看见一些人站在街市上无所事事, 就对他们说,‘你们到我的葡萄园来工作吧,我会给你们合理的工钱。’

“他们便去了。正午和下午三点钟,他又出去继续请人到葡萄园做工。 到了下午五点钟的时候,他再次出去,看见还有人闲站在那里,就问他们,‘为什么你们整天站在这里无所事事呢?’ 他们回答说,‘因为没有人雇用我们。’园主说,‘你们也到我的葡萄园来吧!’

“到了傍晚,园主对工头说,‘叫工人来领工钱吧,最晚来的先领,最先来的后领。’

“下午五点来的工人每人得了一个银币。 10 最早来的工人来领的时候,以为必定可以多得一点工钱,谁知也各得一个银币。

11 “他们拿着工钱满腹牢骚地对园主说, 12 ‘那些最晚来的人只工作了一小时,而我们在烈日之下辛苦了一整天,怎么会领同样的工钱呢?’

13 “园主对他们当中的一个人说,‘朋友,我并没有欠你呀!我们不是讲好付你一个银币吗? 14 拿着你的工钱走吧。我给那后来的和你一样的工钱,是我愿意。 15 难道我不可随意使用自己的钱吗?因为我慷慨,你就眼红吗?’ 16 因此,为首的将要殿后,殿后的将要为首。”

耶稣第三次预言自己受难

17 在去耶路撒冷的途中,耶稣把十二个门徒带到一边,对他们说: 18 “你们要留意,我们现在前往耶路撒冷,人子将被交给祭司长和律法教师。他们要判祂死刑, 19 把祂交给外族人,受嘲弄、鞭打,被钉在十字架上。但第三天祂必复活。”

一个母亲的请求

20 当时,西庇太的妻子带着两个儿子上前,跪在耶稣面前,有事要求祂。

21 耶稣问她:“你要什么呢?”

她说:“在你的国度,请让我这两个儿子一个坐在你右边,一个坐在你左边。”

22 耶稣回答说:“你们不知道自己在求什么。我要喝的那一杯,你们能喝吗?”

他们说:“我们能。”

23 耶稣对他们说:“我要喝的那一杯,你们也要喝。不过谁坐在我的左右不是我来定,而是我父为谁预备的,就让谁坐。”

24 其他十个门徒听见这事,都对他们兄弟二人十分恼火。 25 于是,耶稣把他们叫来,说:“外族人有君王统治他们,有大臣管理他们。但你们不可这样。 26 你们中间,谁要当首领,谁就要做大家的仆人; 27 谁要居首位,谁就要做大家的奴仆。 28 正如人子不是来受人服侍,而是来服侍人,并且牺牲性命,作许多人的赎价。”

治好两个瞎子

29 耶稣和祂的门徒离开耶利哥时,有一大群人跟着祂。 30 有两个瞎子正坐在路旁,听说耶稣经过,就高声喊叫:“主啊,大卫的后裔啊,可怜我们吧!” 31 众人责备他们,叫他们不要出声,他们却喊得更大声了:“主啊,大卫的后裔啊,可怜我们吧!”

32 耶稣停下脚步,叫了他们来,问他们:“你们要我为你们做什么?” 33 他们说:“主啊,我们想能够看见。” 34 耶稣就动了慈心,摸他们的眼睛,他们立刻得见光明,并跟从了耶稣。

葡萄園工人的比喻

20 耶穌接著說:「因為天國就像一個園主清早去外面請工人到他的葡萄園做工。 他跟工人講好一天的工錢是一個銀幣,然後派他們去葡萄園。

「大約上午九點鐘,園主出去看見一些人站在街市上無所事事, 就對他們說,『你們到我的葡萄園來工作吧,我會給你們合理的工錢。』

「他們便去了。正午和下午三點鐘,他又出去繼續請人到葡萄園做工。 到了下午五點鐘的時候,他再次出去,看見還有人閒站在那裡,就問他們,『為什麼你們整天站在這裡無所事事呢?』 他們回答說,『因為沒有人僱用我們。』園主說,『你們也到我的葡萄園來吧!』

「到了傍晚,園主對工頭說,『叫工人來領工錢吧,最晚來的先領,最先來的後領。』

「下午五點來的工人每人得了一個銀幣。 10 最早來的工人來領的時候,以為必定可以多得一點工錢,誰知也各得一個銀幣。

11 「他們拿著工錢滿腹牢騷地對園主說, 12 『那些最晚來的人只工作了一小時,而我們在烈日之下辛苦了一整天,怎麼會領同樣的工錢呢?』

13 「園主對他們當中的一個人說,『朋友,我並沒有欠你呀!我們不是講好付你一個銀幣嗎? 14 拿著你的工錢走吧。我給那後來的和你一樣的工錢,是我願意。 15 難道我不可隨意使用自己的錢嗎?因為我慷慨,你就眼紅嗎?』 16 因此,為首的將要殿後,殿後的將要為首。」

耶穌第三次預言自己受難

17 在去耶路撒冷的途中,耶穌把十二個門徒帶到一邊,對他們說: 18 「你們要留意,我們現在前往耶路撒冷,人子將被交給祭司長和律法教師。他們要判祂死刑, 19 把祂交給外族人,受嘲弄、鞭打,被釘在十字架上。但第三天祂必復活。」

一個母親的請求

20 當時,西庇太的妻子帶著兩個兒子上前,跪在耶穌面前,有事要求祂。

21 耶穌問她:「你要什麼呢?」

她說:「在你的國度,請讓我這兩個兒子一個坐在你右邊,一個坐在你左邊。」

22 耶穌回答說:「你們不知道自己在求什麼。我要喝的那一杯,你們能喝嗎?」

他們說:「我們能。」

23 耶穌對他們說:「我要喝的那一杯,你們也要喝。不過誰坐在我的左右不是我來定,而是我父為誰預備的,就讓誰坐。」

24 其他十個門徒聽見這事,都對他們兄弟二人十分惱火。 25 於是,耶穌把他們叫來,說:「外族人有君王統治他們,有大臣管理他們。但你們不可這樣。 26 你們中間,誰要當首領,誰就要做大家的僕人; 27 誰要居首位,誰就要做大家的奴僕。 28 正如人子不是來受人服侍,而是來服侍人,並且犧牲性命,作許多人的贖價。」

治好兩個瞎子

29 耶穌和祂的門徒離開耶利哥時,有一大群人跟著祂。 30 有兩個瞎子正坐在路旁,聽說耶穌經過,就高聲喊叫:「主啊,大衛的後裔啊,可憐我們吧!」 31 眾人責備他們,叫他們不要出聲,他們卻喊得更大聲了:「主啊,大衛的後裔啊,可憐我們吧!」

32 耶穌停下腳步,叫了他們來,問他們:「你們要我為你們做什麼?」 33 他們說:「主啊,我們想能夠看見。」 34 耶穌就動了慈心,摸他們的眼睛,他們立刻得見光明,並跟從了耶穌。

20 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

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

And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

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

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

They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.

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 have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,

12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which 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 not thou agree with me for a penny?

14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.

15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

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

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

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

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

20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto 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 unto him, We are able.

23 And he saith unto 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 of my Father.

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

25 But Jesus called them unto 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 whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

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

28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, 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, because 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 unto you?

33 They say unto 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.
