Het verhaal van de arbeiders in de wijngaard
20 Jezus zei: "Daarom kun je het Koninkrijk van God vergelijken met de eigenaar van een wijngaard, die 's morgens vroeg arbeiders voor zijn wijngaard ging huren. 2 Hij sprak met de arbeiders af dat ze voor een hele dag werken één zilverstuk zouden krijgen. Daarna stuurde hij hen naar zijn wijngaard. 3 Rond negen uur ging hij naar buiten. Hij zag dat er nog steeds arbeiders zonder werk op het marktplein stonden te wachten tot iemand hen zou huren. 4 Hij zei tegen hen: 'Ga ook in mijn wijngaard werken. Ik zal jullie er een eerlijk loon voor geven.' Dus gingen zij ook naar de wijngaard. 5 Rond twaalf uur en drie uur ging hij weer naar de markt en deed hetzelfde. 6 Toen hij rond vijf uur naar buiten ging, zag hij nog steeds mensen staan. Hij zei tegen hen: 'Waarom staan jullie hier de hele dag zonder werk?' 7 Ze antwoordden: 'Omdat niemand ons heeft gehuurd.' Hij zei tegen hen: 'Jullie kunnen ook in mijn wijngaard komen werken. Ik zal jullie er een eerlijk loon voor geven.'
8 Toen het avond begon te worden, riep de eigenaar van de wijngaard de opzichter. Hij zei tegen hem: 'Roep de arbeiders en betaal hun loon uit. Begin bij hen die het laatst kwamen, en eindig bij hen die het eerst kwamen.' 9 Zo kwamen de mensen die pas rond vijf uur waren komen werken het eerst. Ze kregen allemaal één zilverstuk. 10 Daarom dachten de mensen die het eerst waren komen werken, dat ze méér zouden krijgen dan zij. Maar ook zij kregen allemaal één zilverstuk. 11 Toen begonnen ze te mopperen tegen de eigenaar. 12 Ze zeiden: 'Die daar hebben maar één uur gewerkt. Toch betaalt u hun net zoveel als ons. Maar wij hebben de héle dag gewerkt, en ook in de hitte.' 13 Maar de eigenaar zei tegen één van hen: 'Vriend, ik ben helemaal niet oneerlijk tegen je. Je was het er van tevoren toch mee eens dat ik je één zilverstuk zou betalen? Neem je loon dus mee en ga naar huis. 14 Ik wil de mensen die het laatste kwamen hetzelfde betalen als jullie. 15 Ik mag met mijn geld toch doen wat ik wil? Of denk jij slecht over mij, omdat ik goed ben?'
16 Zo zullen de mensen die nu het laatst zijn, straks het eerst zijn. En mensen die nu het eerst zijn, zullen straks het laatst zijn. Want er zijn wel veel mensen geroepen, maar er zijn maar weinig mensen toegelaten."
Jezus vertelt opnieuw over zijn dood
17 Jezus ging op weg naar Jeruzalem. Onderweg nam Hij de twaalf leerlingen apart. 18 Hij vertelde hun: "We zijn nu op weg naar Jeruzalem. Daar zal de Mensenzoon gevangen genomen worden door de leiders van de priesters en de wetgeleerden. Ze zullen Hem laten doden. 19 En ze zullen Hem aan de Romeinen uitleveren. Die zullen Hem belachelijk maken, zweepslagen geven en kruisigen. Maar op de derde dag zal Hij opstaan uit de dood en weer levend worden."
Niet heersen, maar dienen
20 De vrouw van Zebedeüs kwam met haar zonen Jakobus en Johannes naar Jezus toe. Ze boog zich voor Hem neer om iets van Hem te vragen. 21 Jezus vroeg haar: "Wat wil je me vragen?" Ze zei: "Wilt U mij beloven dat mijn twee zonen naast U mogen zitten in uw Koninkrijk? De één rechts van U en de ander links van U?" 22 Jezus antwoordde: "Jullie weten niet wat jullie vragen. Kunnen jullie doen wat Ik moet doen? Kunnen jullie doormaken wat Ik moet doormaken?" Ze zeiden tegen Hem: "Dat kunnen we." 23 Jezus zei tegen hen: "Jullie zullen wel hetzelfde doormaken als Ik, maar Ik kan jullie niet beloven dat jullie naast Mij zullen zitten. Mijn Vader bepaalt wie daar mogen zitten."
24 Toen de andere tien leerlingen hoorden wat er was gebeurd, waren ze boos op de twee broers. 25 Maar Jezus riep hen bij Zich. En Hij zei tegen hen: "Jullie weten dat de mensen die over de volken regeren, heersen over de mensen. De mensen in de regeringen gebruiken hun macht. 26 Maar zo moet het bij jullie niet zijn. Als je geëerd wil worden, dien dan de anderen. 27 En als je de belangrijkste wil zijn, doe dan slavenwerk voor de anderen. 28 Want ook de Mensenzoon is niet gekomen om Zich te láten dienen, maar om Zélf te dienen. Hij is gekomen om zijn leven te geven voor de mensen. Zijn leven zal het losgeld zijn waarmee Hij heel veel mensen vrijkoopt."
Jezus geneest twee blinden bij Jericho
29 Toen ze Jericho verlieten, werden ze gevolgd door een grote groep mensen. 30 Langs de kant van de weg zaten twee mannen die blind waren. Ze riepen: "Heer, Zoon van David,[a] help ons alstublieft!" 31 De mensen werden boos en zeiden tegen hen dat ze hun mond moesten houden. Maar toen riepen ze nog harder: "Heer, Zoon van David, help ons alstublieft!" 32 Jezus bleef staan. Hij riep hen en vroeg: "Wat willen jullie dat Ik voor jullie doe?" 33 Ze zeiden tegen Hem: "Heer, maak dat we kunnen zien!" 34 Jezus had medelijden met hen. Hij raakte hun ogen aan. Onmiddellijk konden ze zien en ze volgden Hem.

Laborers in the Vineyard
20 “For (A)the kingdom of heaven is like [a]a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his (B)vineyard. 2 When he had agreed with the laborers for a [b]denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the [c]third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace; 4 and to those he said, ‘You go into the vineyard also, and whatever is right, I will give you.’ And so they went. 5 Again he went out about the [d]sixth and the ninth hour, and did [e]the same thing. 6 And about the [f]eleventh hour he went out and found others standing around; and he *said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day long?’ 7 They *said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He *said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’
8 “Now when (C)evening came, the [g]owner of the vineyard *said to his (D)foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, starting with the last group to the first.’ 9 When those hired about the eleventh hour came, each one received a [h]denarius. 10 And so when those hired first came, they thought that they would receive more; [i]but each of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they grumbled at the landowner, 12 saying, ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day’s work and the (E)scorching heat.’ 13 But he answered and said to one of them, ‘(F)Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what is yours and go; but I want to give to this last person the same as to you. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with what is my own? Or is your (G)eye [j]envious because I am [k]generous?’ 16 So (H)the last shall be first, and the first, last.”
Death, Resurrection Foretold
17 (I)As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the road He said to them, 18 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man (J)will be [l]handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, 19 and they (K)will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and flog and crucify, and on (L)the third day He will be raised up.”
Request for Preferred Treatment
20 (M)Then the mother of (N)the [m]sons of Zebedee came to [n]Jesus with her sons, (O)bowing down and making a request of Him. 21 And He said to her, “What do you desire?” She *said to Him, “Say that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine (P)shall sit, one at Your right, and one at Your left.” 22 But Jesus replied, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able (Q)to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They *said to Him, “We are able.” 23 He *said to them, “(R)My cup you shall drink; but to sit at My right and at My left is not Mine to give, (S)but it is for those for whom it has been (T)prepared by My Father.”
24 And after hearing this, the other ten disciples became indignant with the two brothers. 25 (U)But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and [o]those in high position exercise authority over them. 26 It [p]is not this way among you, (V)but whoever wants to become [q]prominent among you shall be your servant, 27 and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your slave; 28 just as (W)the Son of Man (X)did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His [r]life as a ransom for many.”
Sight for Those Who Are Blind
29 (Y)As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him. 30 And two people who were blind, sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, (Z)have mercy on us, (AA)Son of David!” 31 But the crowd sternly warned them to be quiet; yet they cried out all the more, “Lord, (AB)Son of David, have mercy on us!” 32 And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” 33 They *said to Him, “Lord, we want our eyes to be opened.” 34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.

Biblia del Jubileo
20 ¶ Porque el Reino de los cielos es semejante a un hombre, padre de familia, que salió por la mañana a contratar obreros para su viña.
2 Y habiéndose concertado con los obreros en un denario al día, los envió a su viña.
3 Y saliendo cerca de la hora tercera, vio otros que estaban en la plaza ociosos;
4 Y les dijo: Id también vosotros a mi viña, y os daré lo que fuere justo. Y ellos fueron.
5 Salió otra vez cerca de las horas sexta y novena, e hizo lo mismo.
6 Y saliendo cerca de la hora undécima, halló otros que estaban ociosos; y les dijo: ¿Por qué estáis aquí todo el día ociosos?
7 Le dicen: Porque nadie nos ha contratado. Les dijo: Id también vosotros a la viña, y recibiréis lo que fuere justo.
8 Y cuando fue la tarde del día, el señor de la viña dijo a su mayordomo: Llama a los obreros y págales el jornal, comenzando desde los postreros hasta los primeros.
9 Y viniendo los que habían ido cerca de la hora undécima, recibieron cada uno un denario.
10 Y viniendo también los primeros, pensaron que habían de recibir más; pero también ellos recibieron cada uno un denario.
11 Y tomándolo, murmuraban contra el padre de familia,
12 Diciendo: Estos postreros sólo han trabajado una hora, y los has hecho iguales a nosotros, que hemos llevado la carga y el calor del día.
13 Y él respondiendo, dijo a uno de ellos: Amigo, no te hago agravio; ¿no te concertaste conmigo por un denario?
14 Toma lo que es tuyo, y vete; pero quiero dar a este postrero, como a ti.
15 ¿No me es lícito a mí hacer lo que quiero en mis cosas? o ¿es malo tu ojo, porque yo soy bueno?
16 Así los primeros serán postreros, y los postreros primeros; porque muchos son llamados, mas pocos escogidos.
17 ¶ Y subiendo Jesús a Jerusalén, tomó sus doce discípulos aparte en el camino, y les dijo:
18 He aquí subimos a Jerusalén, y el Hijo del hombre será entregado a los príncipes de los sacerdotes y a los escribas, y le condenarán a muerte;
19 y le entregarán a los gentiles para que le escarnezcan, y azoten, y cuelguen en un madero; mas al tercer día resucitará.
20 ¶ Entonces se llegó a él la madre de los hijos de Zebedeo con sus hijos, adorando, y pidiéndole algo.
21 Y él le dijo: ¿Qué quieres? Ella le dijo: Di que se sienten estos dos hijos míos, el uno a tu mano derecha, y el otro a tu izquierda, en tu Reino.
22 Entonces Jesús respondiendo, dijo: No sabéis lo que pedís; ¿podéis beber el vaso que yo he de beber, y ser bautizados del bautismo con que yo soy bautizado? Y ellos le dicen: Podemos.
23 Y él les dice: A la verdad mi vaso beberéis, y del bautismo con que yo soy bautizado, seréis bautizados; mas el sentaros a mi mano derecha y a mi izquierda, no es mío darlo, sino a los que está aparejado por mi Padre.
24 Cuando los diez oyeron esto, se enojaron con los dos hermanos.
25 Entonces Jesús llamándolos, dijo: Ya sabéis que los príncipes de los gentiles se enseñorean sobre ellos, y los que son grandes ejercen sobre ellos potestad.
26 Mas entre vosotros no será así; sino el que quisiere entre vosotros hacerse grande, será vuestro servidor;
27 Y el que quisiere entre vosotros ser el primero, será vuestro esclavo;
28 como el Hijo del hombre no vino para ser servido, sino para servir, y para dar su vida en rescate por muchos.
29 ¶ Entonces saliendo ellos de Jericó, le seguía gran multitud.
30 Y he aquí dos ciegos sentados junto al camino, cuando oyeron que Jesús pasaba, clamaron, diciendo: Señor, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de nosotros.
31 Y la multitud les reñía para que callaran; pero ellos clamaban más, diciendo: Señor, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de nosotros.
32 Y parándose Jesús, los llamó, y dijo: ¿Qué queréis que haga por vosotros?
33 Ellos le dicen: Señor, que sean abiertos nuestros ojos.
34 Entonces Jesús, teniendo misericordia de ellos, les tocó los ojos, y luego sus ojos recibieron la vista; y le siguieron.
Matthew 20
King James Version
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.
2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny 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 unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
6 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?
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
Matthew 20
New International Version
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.
