Vingårdsarbetarnas lön
20 Ty himmelriket är likt en husbonde som tidigt på morgonen gick ut för att leja arbetare till sin vingård. 2 Han kom överens med dem om en dagslön på en denar och skickade dem till sin vingård. 3 Vid tredje timmen[a] gick han ut och fick se andra stå arbetslösa på torget. 4 Han sade till dem: Gå ni också till min vingård! Jag skall ge er en rättvis lön. 5 Och de gick. Vid sjätte och vid nionde timmen gick han ut igen och gjorde likadant. 6 Också vid elfte timmen gick han ut och fann några andra stå där, och han sade till dem: Varför står ni här hela dagen arbetslösa? 7 De svarade honom: Därför att ingen har lejt oss. Han sade då till dem: Gå till min vingård, ni också.
8 På kvällen sade vingårdens herre till sin förvaltare: Kalla på arbetarna och ge dem deras lön. Men börja med de sista och sluta med de första. 9 De som hade blivit lejda vid elfte timmen kom då fram och fick var sin denar. 10 När sedan de första kom, trodde de att de skulle få mer, men också de fick en denar. 11 När de fick den, klagade de på husbonden och sade: 12 De där som kom sist har gjort en timme, och du har jämställt dem med oss, som har stått ut med dagens slit och hetta. 13 Han svarade en av dem: Min vän, jag gör dig ingen orätt. Kom du inte överens med mig om en denar? 14 Ta det som är ditt och gå. Men åt den siste vill jag ge lika mycket som åt dig. 15 Får jag inte göra som jag vill med det som är mitt? Eller ser du med onda ögon[b] på att jag är så god? 16 Så skall de sista bli de första och de första bli de sista."
Jesus talar en tredje gång om sin död
17 När Jesus var på väg upp till Jerusalem, tog han de tolv lärjungarna åt sidan och sade till dem, där de gick vägen fram: 18 "Se, vi går nu upp till Jerusalem, och Människosonen kommer att överlämnas till översteprästerna och de skriftlärda. De skall döma honom till döden 19 och utlämna honom åt hedningarna, som skall håna och gissla och korsfästa honom. Och på tredje dagen skall han uppstå."
En mors begäran
20 Modern till Sebedeus söner gick då fram till Jesus tillsammans med sina söner. Hon föll på knä och ville be honom om något. 21 Han frågade henne: "Vad vill du?" Hon sade till honom: "Lova att mina båda söner här får sitta bredvid dig i ditt rike, den ene på din högra sida och den andre på din vänstra." 22 Jesus svarade: "Ni vet inte vad ni ber om. Kan ni dricka den kalk som jag skall dricka?" De svarade: "Det kan vi." 23 Jesus sade till dem: "Min kalk skall ni dricka, men platsen på min högra sida och platsen på min vänstra sida är det inte min sak att ge bort, utan de skall tillfalla dem som min Fader har berett dem för." 24 När de tio andra hörde detta, blev de upprörda över de båda bröderna. 25 Men Jesus kallade dem till sig och sade: "Ni vet att folkens ledare uppträder som herrar över sina folk och att deras stormän använder sin makt över dem. 26 Men så skall det inte vara bland er. Nej, den som vill vara störst bland er skall vara de andras tjänare, 27 och den som vill vara främst bland er skall vara de andras slav. 28 Så har inte heller Människosonen kommit för att bli tjänad utan för att tjäna och ge sitt liv till lösen för många."[c]
Jesus botar två blinda
29 När de var på väg ut ur Jeriko följde mycket folk med honom. 30 Två blinda satt där vid vägen, och när de fick höra att Jesus gick förbi, ropade de: "Förbarma dig över oss, Herre, Davids son!" 31 Folket uppmanade dem strängt att tiga. Men de ropade ännu högre: "Förbarma dig över oss, Herre, Davids son!" 32 Jesus stannade och kallade dem till sig och frågade: "Vad vill ni att jag skall göra för er?" 33 De svarade honom: "Herre, öppna våra ögon!" 34 Då förbarmade sig Jesus över dem och rörde vid deras ögon. Genast kunde de se, och de följde honom.

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.
