Ang Talinghaga tungkol sa mga Manggagawa sa Ubasan
20 “Ang kaharian ng langit ay maitutulad sa isang taong lumabas nang maagang-maaga upang kumuha ng manggagawa para sa kanyang ubasan. 2 Nang magkasundo na sila sa upa na isang salaping pilak[a] sa maghapon, ang mga manggagawa ay pinapunta niya sa kanyang ubasan. 3 Lumabas siyang muli nang mag-aalas nuwebe ng umaga at nakakita siya ng iba pang tatayu-tayo lamang sa palengke. 4 Sinabi niya sa kanila, ‘Pumunta rin kayo at magtrabaho sa aking ubasan, at bibigyan ko kayo ng karampatang upa.’ 5 At pumunta nga sila. Lumabas na naman siya nang mag-aalas dose ng tanghali at nang mag-aalas tres ng hapon, at ganoon din ang ginawa niya. 6 Nang mag-aalas singko na ng hapon, siya'y lumabas muli at nakakita pa ng mga ibang wala ring ginagawa. Sinabi niya sa kanila, ‘Bakit tatayu-tayo lang kayo dito sa buong maghapon?’ 7 ‘Wala po kasing magbigay sa amin ng trabaho,’ sagot nila. Kaya't sinabi niya, ‘Kung gayon, pumunta rin kayo sa aking ubasan.’
8 “Nang(A) gumagabi na, sinabi ng may-ari ng ubasan sa kanyang katiwala, ‘Tawagin mo na ang mga manggagawa at bayaran mo sila magmula sa huli hanggang sa unang nagtrabaho.’ 9 Ang mga nagsimula nang mag-aalas singko ng hapon ay tumanggap ng tig-iisang salaping pilak. 10 Nang lumapit ang mga nauna, inakala nilang tatanggap sila nang higit doon; ngunit ang bawat isa'y binayaran din ng tig-iisang salaping pilak. 11 Nang magkagayo'y nagreklamo sila sa may-ari ng ubasan. 12 Sinabi nila, ‘Isang oras lamang nagtrabaho ang mga ito na huling dumating, samantalang maghapon kaming nagtrabaho at nagtiis sa nakakapasong init ng araw. Bakit naman pinagpare-pareho ninyo ang aming upa?’ 13 Sumagot ang may-ari ng ubasan sa isa sa kanila, ‘Kaibigan, hindi kita dinadaya. Hindi ba't pumayag ka sa isang salaping pilak? 14 Kunin mo ang para sa iyo at umalis ka na. Ano sa iyo kung ibig kong bayaran ang nahuli nang tulad ng ibinayad ko sa iyo? 15 Wala ba akong karapatang gawin sa ari-arian ko ang aking maibigan? Kayo ba'y naiinggit dahil ako'y nagmagandang-loob sa iba?’”
16 At(B) sinabi ni Jesus, “Ang nahúhulí ay mauuna, at ang nauuna ay mahuhuli.”
Ikatlong Pagpapahayag ni Jesus ng Kanyang Kamatayan(C)
17 Nang nasa daan na sila papuntang Jerusalem, ibinukod ni Jesus ang labindalawang alagad at sinabi sa kanila, 18 “Pupunta tayo sa Jerusalem. Doo'y ipagkakanulo ang Anak ng Tao sa mga punong pari at sa mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Hahatulan siya ng kamatayan 19 at ibibigay sa mga Hentil. Siya'y kukutyain, hahagupitin at ipapako sa krus ngunit muli siyang bubuhayin ng Diyos sa ikatlong araw.”
Ang Kahilingan ng Ina nina Santiago at Juan(D)
20 Lumapit kay Jesus ang asawa ni Zebedeo, kasama ang dalawa niyang anak na lalaki. Lumuhod siya sa harapan ni Jesus upang sabihin ang kanyang kahilingan.
21 “Ano ang gusto mo?” tanong ni Jesus.
Sumagot siya, “Kapag naghahari na po kayo, paupuin ninyo sa inyong tabi ang dalawa kong anak, isa sa kanan at isa sa kaliwa.”
22 “Hindi ninyo nalalaman ang inyong hinihingi,” sabi ni Jesus sa kanila. “Kaya ba ninyong tiisin ang hirap na malapit ko nang danasin?”
“Opo,” tugon nila.
23 At sinabi ni Jesus, “Daranasin nga ninyo ang hirap na titiisin ko. Ngunit wala sa akin ang pagpapasya kung sino ang mauupo sa aking kanan at sa aking kaliwa. Ang mga upuang iyo'y para sa pinaglalaanan ng aking Ama.”
24 Nang marinig ito ng sampung alagad, nagalit sila sa magkapatid. 25 Dahil(E) dito, pinalapit ni Jesus ang kanyang mga alagad at sinabi sa kanila, “Alam ninyo na ang mga pinuno ng mga Hentil ay itinataas ang kanilang sarili bilang mga panginoon sa kanila, at ang kagustuhan ng mga nasa kapangyarihan ang siyang nasusunod. 26 Hindi(F) ganyan ang dapat umiral sa inyo. Sa halip, kung nais ninyong maging dakila, dapat kayong maging lingkod sa iba, 27 at kung sinuman sa inyo ang nagnanais maging una, ay dapat maging alipin ninyo. 28 Sapagkat maging ang Anak ng Tao ay naparito, hindi upang paglingkuran, kundi upang maglingkod at ialay ang kanyang buhay sa ikatutubos ng marami.”
Pinagaling ang Dalawang Bulag(G)
29 Pag-alis nila sa Jerico, si Jesus ay sinundan ng napakaraming tao. 30 Doon ay may dalawang bulag na nakaupo sa tabi ng daan. Nang marinig nilang dumaraan si Jesus, sila'y nagsisigaw, “Panginoon, Anak ni David,[b] mahabag po kayo sa amin!”
31 Pinagsabihan sila ng mga tao at pinatahimik, ngunit lalo silang nagsisigaw, “Panginoon, Anak ni David, mahabag 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 Nahabag si Jesus sa kanila at hinipo ang kanilang mga mata. Agad silang nakakita,[c] at sila'y sumunod sa kanya.

Workers in the vineyard
20 “The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 After he agreed with the workers to pay them a denarion,[a] he sent them into his vineyard.
3 “Then he went out around nine in the morning and saw others standing around the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and I’ll pay you whatever is right.’ 5 And they went.
“Again around noon and then at three in the afternoon, he did the same thing. 6 Around five in the afternoon he went and found others standing around, and he said to them, ‘Why are you just standing around here doing nothing all day long?’
7 “‘Because nobody has hired us,’ they replied.
“He responded, ‘You also go into the vineyard.’
8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and give them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and moving on finally to the first.’ 9 When those who were hired at five in the afternoon came, each one received a denarion. 10 Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more. But each of them also received a denarion. 11 When they received it, they grumbled against the landowner, 12 ‘These who were hired last worked one hour, and they received the same pay as we did even though we had to work the whole day in the hot sun.’
13 “But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I did you no wrong. Didn’t I agree to pay you a denarion? 14 Take what belongs to you and go. I want to give to this one who was hired last the same as I give to you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or are you resentful because I’m generous?’ 16 So those who are last will be first. And those who are first will be last.”
Jesus predicts his death and resurrection
17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside by themselves on the road. He told them, 18 “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Human One[b] will be handed over to the chief priests and legal experts. They will condemn him to death. 19 They will hand him over to the Gentiles to be ridiculed, tortured, and crucified. But he will be raised on the third day.”
Request from James and John’s mother
20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus along with her sons. Bowing before him, she asked a favor of him.
21 “What do you want?” he asked.
She responded, “Say that these two sons of mine will sit, one on your right hand and one on your left, in your kingdom.”
22 Jesus replied, “You don’t know what you’re asking! Can you drink from the cup that I’m about to drink from?”
They said to him, “We can.”
23 He said to them, “You will drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left hand isn’t mine to give. It belongs to those for whom my Father prepared it.”
24 Now when the other ten disciples heard about this, they became angry with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them over and said, “You know that those who rule the Gentiles show off their authority over them and their high-ranking officials order them around. 26 But that’s not the way it will be with you. Whoever wants to be great among you will be your servant. 27 Whoever wants to be first among you will be your slave— 28 just as the Human One[c] didn’t come to be served but rather to serve and to give his life to liberate many people.”
Healing of two blind men
29 As Jesus and his disciples were going out of Jericho a large crowd followed him. 30 When two blind men sitting along the road heard that Jesus was passing by, they shouted, “Show us mercy, Lord, Son of David!”
31 Now the crowd scolded them and told them to be quiet. But they shouted even louder, “Show us mercy, Lord, Son of David!”
32 Jesus stopped in his tracks and called to them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.
33 “Lord, we want to see,” they replied.
34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they were able to see, 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.
