葡萄园工人的比喻

20 “天国好象一个家主，清早出去雇请工人到他的葡萄园工作。 2 他和工人讲定了一天的工钱是一个银币，然后派他们到葡萄园去。 3 大约九点钟，他又出去，看见还有人闲站在街市上， 4 就对他们说：‘你们也到葡萄园来吧，我会给你们合理的工钱。’ 5 他们就去了。约在正午和下午三点钟，他又出去，也是这样作。 6 下午五点钟左右，他再出去，看见还有人站着，就问他们：‘你们为甚么整天站在这里不去作工？’ 7 他们回答：‘没有人用我们。’他说：‘你们也到葡萄园来吧。’ 8 到了黄昏，园主对管工说：‘把工人叫来，给他们工钱，从最后的开始，到最先来的。’ 9 那些下午五点钟才开始作工的人来了，每个人都领到一个银币。 10 最先作工的人也来了，以为会多得一点，但每个人也是领到一个银币。 11 他们领到之后，就埋怨家主，说： 12 ‘我们整天在烈日之下劳苦，这些后来的人只工作了一个小时，你却给他们跟我们一样的工钱。’ 13 家主回答他们当中的一个，说：‘朋友，我并没有亏待你。你我不是讲定了一个银币吗？ 14 拿你的工钱走吧！我给那后来的和给你的一样，是我的主意。 15 难道我不可以照自己的主意用我的财物吗？还是因为我仁慈你就嫉妒呢？’ 16 因此，在后的将要在前，在前的将要在后。”

第三次预言受难及复活(A)

17 耶稣上耶路撒冷去的时候，把十二门徒带到一边，在路上对他们说： 18 “我们现在上耶路撒冷去，人子要被交给祭司长和经学家，他们要定他死罪， 19 把他交给外族人凌辱、鞭打，并且钉在十字架上。然而第三天他要复活。”

不是要人服事而是要服事人(B)

20 那时，西庇太的儿子的母亲，带着她的两个儿子前来见耶稣。她跪在耶稣面前求他。 21 耶稣问她：“你想要甚么？”她说：“求你下令，使我这两个儿子在你的国里，一个坐在你的右边，一个坐在你的左边。” 22 耶稣回答：“你们不知道你们求的是甚么。我将要喝的杯，你们能喝吗？”他们说：“能。” 23 他对他们说：“我的杯你们固然要喝，只是坐在我的左右，不是我可以赐的；我父预备赐给谁，就赐给谁。” 24 其他十个门徒听见了，就向他们兄弟二人生气。 25 耶稣把他们叫过来，说：“你们知道各国都有元首统治他们，也有官长管辖他们。 26 但你们中间却不要这样；谁想在你们中间成为大的，就要作你们的仆役； 27 谁想在你们中间为首的，就要作你们的奴仆。 28 正如人子来，不是要受人的服事，而是要服事人，并且要舍命，作许多人的赎价。”

治好瞎眼的人(C)

29 他们从耶利哥出来的时候，有许多人跟着耶稣。 30 有两个瞎眼的人坐在路旁，听说耶稣经过，就喊叫：“主啊，大卫的子孙，可怜我们吧！” 31 群众责备他们，叫他们不要出声，他们却更加放声喊叫：“主啊，大卫的子孙，可怜我们吧！” 32 耶稣就站住，叫他们过来，说：“要我为你们作甚么呢？” 33 他们说：“主啊，求你开我们的眼睛。” 34 耶稣就怜悯他们，摸他们的眼睛。他们立刻能看见，就跟从了耶稣。

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。 2 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。

3 “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， 4 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。’

5 “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。 6 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？’ 7 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！’

8 “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。’

9 “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。 2 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。

3 「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， 4 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。』

5 「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。 6 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？』 7 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！』

8 「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。』

9 「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。

Matthew 20
New English Translation

Workers in the Vineyard

20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner[a] who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 And after agreeing with the workers for the standard wage,[b] he sent them into his vineyard. 3 When it was about nine o’clock in the morning,[c] he went out again and saw others standing around in the marketplace[d] without work. 4 He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and I will give you whatever is right.’ 5 So they went. When[e] he went out again about noon and three o’clock that afternoon,[f] he did the same thing. 6 And about five o’clock that afternoon[g] he went out and found others standing around, and said to them, ‘Why are you standing here all day without work?’ 7 They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go and work in the vineyard too.’ 8 When[h] it was evening[i] the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages[j] starting with the last hired until the first.’ 9 When those hired about five o’clock came, each received a full day’s pay.[k] 10 And when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more. But each one also received the standard wage. 11 When[l] they received it, they began to complain[m] against the landowner, 12 saying, ‘These last fellows worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us who bore the hardship and burning heat of the day.’ 13 And the landowner[n] replied to one of them,[o] ‘Friend, I am not treating you unfairly. Didn’t you agree with me to work for the standard wage?[p] 14 Take what is yours and go. I[q] want to give to this last man[r] the same as I gave to you. 15 Am I not[s] permitted to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?’[t] 16 So the last will be first, and the first last.”

Third Prediction of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection

17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve[u] aside privately and said to them on the way, 18 “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the experts in the law.[v] They will condemn him to death, 19 and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged severely[w] and crucified.[x] Yet[y] on the third day, he will be raised.”

A Request for James and John

20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, and kneeling down she asked him for a favor.[z] 21 He said to her, “What do you want?” She replied,[aa] “Permit[ab] these two sons of mine to sit, one at your[ac] right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” 22 Jesus[ad] answered, “You don’t know what you are asking![ae] Are you able to drink the cup I am about to drink?”[af] They said to him, “We are able.”[ag] 23 He told them, “You will drink my cup,[ah] but to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to give. Rather, it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

24 Now[ai] when the other ten[aj] heard this,[ak] they were angry with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions use their authority over them. 26 It must not be this way among you! Instead whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave[al]— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom[am] for many.”

Two Blind Men Healed

29 As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed them. 30 Two[an] blind men were sitting by the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they shouted,[ao] “Have mercy[ap] on us, Lord, Son of David!”[aq] 31 The[ar] crowd scolded[as] them to get them to be quiet. But they shouted even more loudly, “Lord, have mercy on us,[at] Son of David!” 32 Jesus stopped, called them, and said, “What do you want me to do for you?” 33 They said to him, “Lord, let our eyes be opened.” 34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

Footnotes

  1. Matthew 20:1 sn The term landowner here refers to the owner and manager of a household.
  2. Matthew 20:2 tn Grk “agreeing with the workers for a denarius a day.”sn The standard wage was a denarius a day. The denarius was a silver coin worth about a day’s wage for a laborer in Palestine in the 1st century.
  3. Matthew 20:3 tn Grk “about the third hour.”
  4. Matthew 20:3 sn See the note on marketplaces in Matt 11:16.
  5. Matthew 20:5 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  6. Matthew 20:5 tn Grk “he went out again about the sixth and ninth hour.”
  7. Matthew 20:6 tn Grk “about the eleventh hour.”
  8. Matthew 20:8 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  9. Matthew 20:8 sn That is, six o’clock in the evening, the hour to pay day laborers. See Lev 19:13b.
  10. Matthew 20:8 tc ‡ Most witnesses, including several key mss (B D N W Γ Δ Θ ƒ1, 13 33vid 565 579 700 1241 1424 M latt sy) have αὐτοῖς (autois, “to them”) after ἀπόδος (apodos, “give the pay”), but this may be a motivated reading, clarifying the indirect object. The support for the omission, however, is not nearly as strong (א C L Z 085 Or). Nevertheless, NA28 includes the pronoun on the basis of the greater external attestation. A decision is difficult, but regardless of what is original, English style is better served with an explicit indirect object.
  11. Matthew 20:9 tn Grk “each received a denarius.” See the note on the phrase “standard wage” in v. 2.
  12. Matthew 20:11 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  13. Matthew 20:11 tn The imperfect verb ἐγόγγυζον (egonguzon) has been translated ingressively.
  14. Matthew 20:13 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the landowner) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  15. Matthew 20:13 tn Grk “And answering, he said to one of them.” This construction is somewhat redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation.
  16. Matthew 20:13 tn Grk “for a denarius a day.”
  17. Matthew 20:14 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  18. Matthew 20:14 tn Grk “this last one,” translated as “this last man” because field laborers in 1st century Palestine were men.
  19. Matthew 20:15 tc ‡ Before οὐκ (ouk, “[am I] not”) a number of significant witnesses read ἤ (ē, “or”; e.g., א C N W Γ Δ 085 ƒ1, 13 33 565 579 1241 1424 M lat co). Although in later Greek the οι in σοι (oi in soi)—the last word of v. 14—would have been pronounced like ἤ, since ἤ is lacking in early mss (B D; among later witnesses, note L Z Θ 700; SBL) and since mss were probably copied predominantly by sight rather than by sound, even into the later centuries, the omission of ἤ cannot be accounted for as easily. Thus the shorter reading most likely belongs to the Ausgangstext. NA28 includes the word in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.
  20. Matthew 20:15 tn Grk “Is your eye evil because I am good?”
  21. Matthew 20:17 tc ‡ Several key witnesses along with the majority of mss (e.g., B C N W Δ 085 33 565 579 700 1241 M lat syh samss) have μαθητάς (mathētas, “disciples”) after τοὺς δώδεκα (tous dōdeka, “the twelve”); still other authorities have μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ (mathētas autou, “his disciples”; Γ 13 892c 1424 it syp samss) after δώδεκα. The personal pronoun is a clarifying addition, but all these mss also throw their weight toward the μαθητάς reading. Other significant witnesses lack the word (e.g. א D L Θ ƒ1, 13 892* sys,c bo Or). Up until this point in the Gospel, Matthew speaks of “the twelve” always with qualification (“twelve disciples,” “twelve apostles,” “these twelve”; cf. Matt 10:1, 2, 5; 11:1), but afterward just as “the twelve” (Matt 26:14, 20, 47). Thus, in spite of the strong external evidence, both longer variants look to be scribal clarifications, and hence are considered secondary. NA28 puts μαθητὰς in brackets to show doubts about its authenticity.
  22. Matthew 20:18 tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.
  23. Matthew 20:19 tn Traditionally, “scourged” (the term means to beat severely with a whip, L&N 19.9). BDAG 620 s.v. μαστιγόω 1.a states, “The ‘verberatio’ is denoted in the passion predictions and explicitly as action by non-Israelites Mt 20:19; Mk 10:34; Lk 18:33”; the verberatio was the beating given to those condemned to death in the Roman judicial system. Here the term μαστιγόω (mastigoō) has been translated “flog…severely” to distinguish it from the term φραγελλόω (phragelloō) used in Matt 27:26; Mark 15:15.
  24. Matthew 20:19 sn Crucifixion was the cruelest form of punishment practiced by the Romans. Roman citizens could not normally undergo it. It was reserved for the worst crimes, like treason and evasion of due process in a capital case. The Roman historian Cicero called it “a cruel and disgusting penalty” (Against Verres 2.5.63-66 §§163-70); Josephus (J. W. 7.6.4 [7.203]) called it the worst of deaths.
  25. Matthew 20:19 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
  26. Matthew 20:20 tn Grk “asked something from him.”
  27. Matthew 20:21 tn Grk “said to him.”
  28. Matthew 20:21 tn Grk “Say that.”
  29. Matthew 20:21 tc A majority of witnesses read σου (sou, “your”) here, perhaps as a clarifying addition. At the same time, it is possible that the pronoun dropped out through haplography or was excised because of perceived redundancy (there are two other such pronouns in the verse) by א B. All things considered, σου is most likely authentic.
  30. Matthew 20:22 tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  31. Matthew 20:22 tn The verbs in Greek are plural here, indicating that Jesus is not answering the mother but has turned his attention directly to the two disciples.
  32. Matthew 20:22 tc Most mss (C N W Γ Δ 33 565 579 700 1241 1424 M al, as well as some versional and patristic authorities) add “or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” But this is surely due to a recollection of the fuller version of this dominical saying found in Mark 10:38. The same mss also have the Lord’s response, “and you will be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized” in v. 23, again due to the parallel in Mark 10:39. The shorter reading, in both v. 22 and v. 23, is to be preferred both because it better explains the rise of the other reading and is found in superior witnesses (א B D L Z Θ 085 ƒ1, 13 lat sa, as well as other versional and patristic authorities).
  33. Matthew 20:22 sn No more naïve words have ever been spoken as those found here coming from James and John, “We are able.” They said it with such confidence and ease, yet they had little clue as to what they were affirming. In the next sentence Jesus confirms that they will indeed suffer for his name.
  34. Matthew 20:23 tc See the tc note on “about to drink” in v. 22.
  35. Matthew 20:24 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.
  36. Matthew 20:24 tn Grk “the ten.”
  37. Matthew 20:24 tn The word “this” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
  38. Matthew 20:27 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
  39. Matthew 20:28 sn The Greek word for ransom (λύτρον, lutron) is found here and in Mark 10:45 and refers to the payment of a price in order to purchase the freedom of a slave. The idea of Jesus as the “ransom” is that he paid the price with his own life by standing in our place as a substitute, enduring the judgment that we deserved for sin.
  40. Matthew 20:30 tn Grk “And behold.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).
  41. Matthew 20:30 tn Grk “shouted, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.
  42. Matthew 20:30 sn Have mercy on us is a request for healing. It is not owed to the men. They simply ask for God’s kind grace.
  43. Matthew 20:30 sn There was a tradition in Judaism that the Son of David (Solomon) had great powers of healing (Josephus, Ant. 8.2.5 [8.42-49]).
  44. Matthew 20:31 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  45. Matthew 20:31 tn Or “rebuked.” The crowd’s view was that surely Jesus would not be bothered with someone as unimportant as a blind beggar.
  46. Matthew 20:31 tc ‡ The majority of mss (C N W Γ Δ ƒ1 33 565 1241 1424 M and several versional witnesses) read κύριε (kurie, “Lord”) after ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς (eleēson hēmas, “have mercy on us”). But since this is the order of words in v. 30 (though that wording is also disputed), and since the κύριε-first reading enjoys widespread and early support (א B D L Z Θ 085 0281 ƒ13 892 lat syp samss bo; SBL), the latter was considered to be the earliest reading. However, the decision was by no means easy. NA28 has κύριε after ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς here; a majority of that committee felt that since the placement of κύριε in last place was the nonliturgical order it “would have been likely to be altered in transcription to the more familiar sequence” (TCGNT 44).

Những Người Làm Trong Vườn Nho

20 “Vậy nên Nước Thiên Đàng ví như một điền chủ kia sáng sớm đi thuê người làm vườn nho cho mình. 2 Khi đã thỏa thuận với họ về lương mỗi ngày một đồng đê-na-ri,[a] ông sai họ vào làm việc trong vườn nho mình.

3 Vào khoảng chín giờ sáng,[b] người điền chủ lại ra chợ, thấy mấy người đứng không, 4 Ông bảo họ: ‘Hãy vào làm việc trong vườn nho của tôi rồi tôi sẽ trả công xứng đáng cho các anh.’ Họ liền đi làm. 5 Khoảng mười hai giờ trưa[c] và ba giờ chiều,[d] điền chủ lại ra chợ và làm như vậy. 6 Vào khoảng năm giờ chiều,[e] ông lại ra chợ, ông thấy mấy người đứng không, Ông bảo: ‘Tại sao các anh đứng không suốt ngày vậy?’

7 Họ đáp: ‘Vì không ai thuê chúng tôi cả.’ Điền chủ bảo: ‘Hãy đi vào vườn nho làm việc cho tôi.’

8 Đến chiều tối, ông bảo người quản lý: ‘Hãy gọi người làm vào trả lương cho họ, bắt đầu từ người thuê sau cùng đến người thuê đầu tiên.’

9 Những người được thuê lúc năm giờ chiều đến, mỗi người lãnh một đồng đê-na-ri. 10 Khi những người được thuê trước hết đến, họ tưởng sẽ lãnh nhiều hơn, nhưng mỗi người cũng chỉ lãnh một đồng đê-na-ri. 11 Họ vừa cầm tiền công vừa lằm bằm với điền chủ: 12 ‘Những người được thuê sau cùng kia chỉ làm có một tiếng đồng hồ mà ông chủ cũng trả lương bằng chúng tôi là những người làm việc vất vả và dang nắng suốt ngày.’

13 Chủ trả lời một người trong số ấy: ‘Bạn ơi, tôi không bất công với anh đâu. Anh đã chẳng thỏa thuận với tôi một đồng đê-na-ri tiền công sao? 14 Hãy nhận tiền công của anh mà về đi. Tôi muốn trả cho người đến sau cùng cũng bằng anh vậy. 15 Tôi không có quyền dùng tài sản riêng tùy ý tôi sao? Hay anh ganh tị vì tôi tử tế sao?

16 Vậy những người cuối sẽ trở nên đầu, và những người đầu sẽ trở nên cuối.’ ”

Chúa Báo Trước Về Sự Chết Và Sống Lại Của Ngài(A)

17 Trên đường lên Giê-ru-sa-lem, Đức Giê-su đem riêng mười hai môn đệ ra và bảo: 18 “Này, chúng ta lên Giê-ru-sa-lem rồi Con Người sẽ bị nộp cho các thượng tế, các giáo sư Kinh Luật và họ sẽ lên án tử hình Người. 19 Họ sẽ nộp Người cho dân ngoại để chế nhạo, đánh đập và đóng đinh trên thập tự giá và đến ngày thứ ba Người sẽ sống lại.”

Lời Yêu Cầu Của Mẹ Gia-cơ Và Giăng(B)

20 Bấy giờ bà Xê-bê-đê cùng với các con mình đến quỳ xin Đức Giê-su một điều.

21 Ngài hỏi: “Bà muốn gì?” Bà thưa: “Xin Thầy cho hai con trai tôi, một đứa ngồi bên phải, một đứa ngồi bên trái Thầy trong Nước của Thầy.”

22 Đức Giê-su đáp: “Các con không hiểu điều mình xin. Các con có thể uống chén mà Ta sắp uống không?” Họ thưa: “Dạ được.”

23 Ngài nói: “Các con sẽ uống chén của Ta, còn ngồi bên phải hoặc bên trái, Ta không cho được, địa vị này dành cho những người mà Cha Ta đã chuẩn bị.”

24 Nghe thế mười môn đệ kia giận hai anh em này. 25 Đức Giê-su gọi các môn đệ lại bảo: “Các con biết rằng những kẻ cai trị ngoại quốc thống trị dân mình, những người quyền cao chức lớn lấy quyền hành trị dân. 26 Nhưng trong vòng các con thì không nên như thế. Ai muốn làm lớn phải làm đầy tớ cho các con; 27 ai muốn đứng đầu trong các con phải làm nô lệ cho các con. 28 Cũng như vậy, Con Người không phải đến để được phục vụ nhưng để phục vụ và hiến mạng sống mình cứu chuộc nhiều người.”

Chúa Chữa Lành Hai Người Mù(C)

29 Khi Đức Giê-su và các môn đệ ra khỏi thành Giê-ri-cô có một đoàn dân đông đi theo Ngài. 30 Bấy giờ hai người mù ngồi bên đường nghe nói Đức Giê-su đi qua liền kêu lớn: “Lạy Chúa, con Vua Đa-vít, xin thương xót chúng con!”

31 Đám đông rầy la hai người để họ im đi, nhưng họ lại càng kêu lớn hơn: “Lạy Chúa, con Vua Đa-vít, xin thương xót chúng con!”

32 Đức Giê-su dừng lại, gọi họ đến và hỏi: “Các ngươi muốn Ta làm gì?”

33 Họ thưa: “Lạy Chúa, xin mở mắt cho chúng con được sáng.”

34 Đức Giê-su động lòng thương, sờ mắt họ; lập tức hai người thấy được và đi theo Ngài.
