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.

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.

The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard
20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 and said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing [a]idle, and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day?’ 7 They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, [b]and whatever is right you will receive.’
8 “So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.’ 9 And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius. 10 But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius. 11 And when they had received it, they [c]complained against the landowner, 12 saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.’ 13 But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. 15 (A)Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or (B)is your eye evil because I am good?’ 16 (C)So the last will be first, and the first last. (D)For[d] many are called, but few chosen.”
Jesus a Third Time Predicts His Death and Resurrection(E)
17 (F)Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them, 18 (G)“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, 19 (H)and deliver Him to the Gentiles to (I)mock and to (J)scourge and to (K)crucify. And the third day He will (L)rise again.”
Greatness Is Serving(M)
20 (N)Then the mother of (O)Zebedee’s sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.
21 And He said to her, “What do you wish?”
She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine (P)may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.”
22 But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink (Q)the cup that I am about to drink, [e]and be baptized with (R)the baptism that I am baptized with?”
They said to Him, “We are able.”
23 So He said to them, (S)“You will indeed drink My cup, [f]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 is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.”
24 (T)And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. 26 Yet (U)it shall not be so among you; but (V)whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. 27 (W)And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— 28 (X)just as the (Y)Son of Man did not come to be served, (Z)but to serve, and (AA)to give His life a ransom (AB)for many.”
Two Blind Men Receive Their Sight(AC)
29 (AD)Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him. 30 And behold, (AE)two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, (AF)Son of David!”
31 Then the multitude (AG)warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!”
32 So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
33 They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” 34 So Jesus had (AH)compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.
