18 ¶ Lè sa a, disip yo pwoche bò kote Jezi, yo mande li: Ki moun ki pi grannèg nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la?

Jezi rele yon timoun, li mete l' nan mitan yo.

Li di: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Si nou pa chanje, si nou pa tounen tankou yon timoun piti, nou p'ap janm ka mete pye nou nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.

Se poutèt sa, moun ki va soumèt tèt li devan Bondye, ki va tounen tankou timoun sa a, se li ki va pi grannèg nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.

Nenpòt moun ki resevwa yon timoun tankou timoun sa a, se mwen menm li resevwa.

Kanta moun ki fè yonn nan timoun sa yo ki kwè nan mwen tonbe nan peche, li ta pi bon pou li si yo ta mare yon gwo wòl moulen nan kou l' voye l' jete nan fon lanmè.

¶ Ala yon lapenn pou lèzòm! Pa manke bagay ki pou fè yo tonbe nan peche! Wi! se vre, bagay sa yo ap toujou la. Men, malè pou moun ki lakòz bagay sa yo rive!

Si se men ou osinon pye ou ki pou ta fè ou tonbe nan peche, koupe l' voye jete byen lwen ou. Pito ou antre nan lavi a ak yon sèl men osinon ak yon sèl pye, pase pou ou rete ak de men ou osinon ak de pye ou, epi pou yo jete ou nan dife ki p'ap janm fini an.

Si se je ou ki pou ta fè ou tonbe nan peche, rache li voye jete byen lwen ou. Pito ou antre nan lavi a ak yon sèl grenn je, pase pou ou rete ak tou de je ou epi pou yo jete ou nan dife lanfè a.

10 Atansyon: Piga nou meprize yon sèl nan ti piti sa yo. Paske m'ap di nou sa: zanj gadyen yo ki nan syèl la, se tout tan yo la devan Papa m' ki nan syèl la.

11 Paske, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a vin delivre sa ki te pèdi.

12 Sa nou konprann nan sa? Si yon nonm gen san mouton, epi li rete konsa li pa wè yonn ladan yo, èske li p'ap kite katrevendiznèf lòt yo sou mòn lan, pou li ale chache mouton ki pèdi a?

13 Si l' rive jwenn li menm, se vre wi, sa m'ap di nou la a, l'ap pi kontan pou mouton sa a pase pou katrevendiznèf lòt yo ki pa t' pèdi.

14 Konsa tou, Papa nou ki nan syèl la pa ta renmen wè yon sèl nan ti piti sa yo rive pèdi.

15 ¶ Si frè ou fè ou yon bagay ki mal, ale jwenn li, rele l' apa. Fè l' wè sa li fè a mal. Si li koute ou, se mete wa mete frè ou ankò sou bon chemen.

16 Men, si li pa vle koute ou, pran yonn osinon de lòt moun avè ou. Konsa, tout bagay va regle sou depozisyon de osinon twa temwen.

17 Si l' refize koute yo tou, lè sa a wa di legliz la sa. Si l' refize koute legliz la, ou mèt gade l' tankou yon etranje pou ou, tankou yon pèseptè kontribisyon.

18 Se vre wi, sa m'ap di nou la a: Tou sa n'a defann moun fè sou latè, yo p'ap kapab fè l' nan syèl la non plis. Tou sa n'a pèmèt moun fè sou latè, y'a kapab fè l' nan syèl la tou.

19 Men sa m'ap di nou ankò: Si de nan nou mete yo dakò sou latè pou mande nenpòt ki bagay lè y'ap lapriyè, Papa m' ki nan syèl la va ba yo li.

20 Paske, chak fwa de ou twa moun mete tèt yo ansanm nan non mwen, m'ap la nan mitan yo.

21 ¶ Lè sa a, Pyè pwoche bò kot Jezi, li di l' konsa: Mèt, konbe fwa pou m' padonnen frè m' lè li fè m' yon bagay mal? Sèt fwa konsa?

22 Jezi reponn li: Non, Pyè. Mwen pa di ou padonnen l' sèt fwa, men padonnen l' swasanndis fwa sèt fwa.

23 Men ki jan sa ap pase nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la: Se tankou yon wa ki te vle fè regleman ak domestik li yo.

24 Li te fèk kòmanse fè regleman an lè yo mennen yonn ba li ki te dwe l' senkantmil (50.000) goud.

25 Men, nonm lan pa t' gen dekwa peye tout lajan sa a. Mèt la bay lòd pou yo vann li tankou esklav, li menm, madanm li, pitit li yo ansanm ak tou sa l' te genyen, pou peye dèt la.

26 Domestik la tonbe ajenou devan mèt la, li di li: Mèt, tanpri souple, pran yon ti pasyans pou mwen, m'a peye ou tout lajan an.

27 Kè mèt domestik la fè l' mal, li kite lajan an la pou li, li kite l' ale.

28 Lè domestik la soti, li kontre ak yon kanmarad ki te dwe l' san (100) goud. Li kenbe l', li pran trangle l', li di li: Peye m' sa ou dwe m' lan.

29 Kanmarad la lage kò l' atè, li di lòt la: Tanpri, pran yon ti pasyans pou mwen, m'a peye ou.

30 Men, lòt la pa tande. Li fè mete kanmarad la nan prizon, pou jouk lè li fin peye sa li dwe a.

31 Lè lòt domestik yo wè sak te rive, sa te fè yo mal anpil. Y al rakonte mèt la sak te pase.

32 Lè sa a, mèt la fè rele domestik la. Li di l' konsa: Gade jan ou mechan! Mwen kite tout lajan sa a pou ou paske ou te mande m' fè sa pou ou.

33 Ou te dwe gen pitye pou kanmarad ou a menm jan mwen te gen pitye pou ou a.

34 Mèt la fè gwo kòlè, li fè mete msye nan prizon pou yo bat li jouk lè li fin peye tou sa l' te dwe a.

35 Se konsa Papa m' ki anwo nan syèl la va aji ak nou, si nou pa padonnen frè nou yo ak tout kè nou.

19 ¶ Lè Jezi fin di pawòl sa yo, li kite peyi Galile a, li ale nan zòn peyi Jide ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden an.

Yon gwo foul moun t'ap swiv li. Lè l' rive, li geri malad yo.

¶ Kèk farizyen pwoche bò kot Jezi pou yo wè si yo te ka pran l' nan pèlen. Yo mande li: Eske lalwa nou pèmèt yon nonm kite ak madanm li pou nenpòt ki kòz?

Jezi reponn yo: Eske nou pa li sa ki ekri nan Liv la? Nan konmansman, lè Bondye t'ap fè moun, li te fè yo gason ak fi.

Apre sa li di: Se poutèt sa, gason an va kite papa l' ak manman l' pou l' mete tèt li ansanm ak madanm li. Yo tou de va fè yon sèl kò.

Konsa, yo pa de ankò, men yo fè yon sèl kò. Se poutèt sa, pesonn moun pa gen dwa separe sa Bondye mete ansanm.

Farizyen yo di li: Bon, poukisa Moyiz te bay lòd pou yon nonm ekri yon papye divòs voye bay madanm li, anvan pou l' kite avè li?

Jezi reponn yo: Se paske nou gen tèt di kifè Moyiz te ban nou dwa kite ak madanm nou. Men, nan konmansman se pa t' konsa.

Mwen menm, men sa m'ap di nou: Lè yon nonm kite ak madanm li pou l' al marye ak yon lòt, li fè adiltè, esepte si se pou lenkondite li ta kite ake madanm lan.

10 Disip li yo di li: Si se konsa bagay la ye pou yon nonm ak madanm li, pito yon nonm pa marye.

11 Jezi reponn yo: Se pa tout moun ki asepte pawòl sa a. Se sèlman moun Bondye bay pouvwa pou sa.

12 Paske, gen anpil rezon ki ka enpoze yon nonm marye. Genyen ki fèt tou konsa: yo pa ka marye. Gen lòt, se moun ki mete yo nan eta sa a pou yo pa ka marye. Gen lòt ankò ki pa marye poutèt Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la. Si yon moun ka asepte pawòl sa a, se pou l' asepte li.

13 ¶ Lè sa a, yo mennen kèk timoun piti bay Jezi pou l' te mete men l' sou tèt yo, pou l' te lapriyè pou yo. Men, disip yo t'ap di moun yo pa fè sa.

14 Jezi di yo: Kite timoun yo vin jwenn mwen non. Pa enpoze yo vini. Paske, Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se pou tout moun ki tankou timoun sa yo li ye.

15 Li mete men l' sou tèt yo. Apre sa, li pati, li kite kote l' te ye a.

16 ¶ Yon nonm pwoche bò kot Jezi, li di l' konsa: Mèt, ki bon bagay mwen dwe fè pou m' ka resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an?

17 Jezi reponn li: Poukisa w'ap poze m' keksyon sou sa ki bon? Se yon sèl ki bon. Si ou vle antre nan lavi a, se pou ou fè sa kòmandman yo mande. Nonm lan mande li: Kilès kòmandman sa yo?

18 Jezi reponn li: Piga ou touye moun. Piga ou fè adiltè. Piga ou vòlò. Piga ou bay manti.

19 Respekte papa ou ak manman ou. Se pou ou renmen frè parèy ou tankou ou renmen tèt pa ou.

20 Jennonm lan di li: Mwen swiv tout bagay sa yo. Kisa pou m' fè ankò?

21 Jezi di li: Si ou vle bon nèt san manke anyen, ale vann tou sa ou genyen, separe lajan an bay pòv. Lè sa a, wa gen yon richès nan syèl la. Apre sa, vin swiv mwen.

22 Lè jennonm lan tande pawòl sa yo, li vin kagou, li vire do l', li ale paske li te gen anpil byen.

23 ¶ Lè sa a, Jezi di disip li yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi. Sa ap difisil nèt pou yon nonm rich antre nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.

24 M'ap di nou sa ankò: L'ap pi fasil pou gwo bèt yo rele chamo a pase nan je yon zegwi pase pou yon nonm rich antre nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.

25 Lè disip yo tande sa, yo pa t' manke sezi, yo di: Nan kondisyon sa a, ki moun ki ka sove?

26 Jezi gade yo, li di: Moun pa ka fè sa, se vre. Men, pa gen anyen Bondye pa kapab fè.

27 Lè sa a, Pyè di li: Men, koute non. Nou kite tout bagay pou nou swiv ou. Kisak pral rive nou?

28 Jezi reponn yo: Se vre wi, sa m'ap di nou la a: Lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va chita sou fòtèy li ak tout bèl pouvwa li, lè tout bagay va chanje nèt, nou menm k'ap swiv mwen, n'a chita sou douz fòtèy tou, pou nou ka jije douz branch ras Izrayèl la.

29 Nenpòt moun ki va kite kay li, osinon frè l', osinon sè l', osinon papa l', osinon manman l', osinon pitit li, osinon jaden l', poutèt mwen, moun sa a gen pou l' resevwa san (100) fwa plis pase sa, ansanm ak lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.

30 Anpil nan moun ki devan yo va rete dèyè. Anpil nan moun ki dèyè yo va pran devan.

20 ¶ Men ki jan sa ye nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la: Se tankou yon mèt jaden rezen ki soti granmaten al chache moun vin travay nan jaden rezen l' lan.

Li antann ak yo pou l' ba yo sa yo peye pou yon jounen travay. Li voye yo al travay nan jaden rezen an.

Li soti ankò vè nevè nan maten, li wè kèk lòt moun ki te kanpe sou plas la san yo p'ap fè anyen.

Li di yo: Nou menm tou, nou mèt al travay nan jaden rezen m' lan, m'a peye nou pou sa n'a fè.

Epi y al travay nan jaden an. Apre sa, mèt jaden an soti ankò vè midi, ak yon lòt fwa ankò vè twazè nan apremidi, li fè menm bagay la.

Li te vè senkè nan apremidi lè li soti ankò. Li jwenn kèk lòt moun ki te kanpe la sou plas la, li di yo: Poukisa nou rete tout jounen an la san fè anyen konsa?

Yo reponn li: Se paske pesonn pa ban nou travay. Mèt la di yo: Enben, nou menm tou, nou mèt al travay nan jaden rezen m' lan.

Lè solèy fin kouche, mèt jaden an di jeran l' lan: Rele travayè yo, peye yo lajan yo. Kòmanse ak sa ki te vin an dènye yo pou fini ak premye yo.

Mesye ki te antre nan travay vè senkè nan apremidi yo vini, yo chak yo resevwa lajan yon jounen travay.

10 Lè mesye ki te la depi granmaten yo vin rive, yo te kwè yo tapral resevwa plis. Men, yo chak resevwa lajan yon jounen travay tou.

11 Lè yo resevwa lajan an, yo tonbe bougonnen sou do mèt jaden an.

12 Yo di konsa: Moun sa yo vin an dènye, yo travay yon sèl ti moman, epi ou peye yo menm lajan ak nou ki fatige kò n' travay tout jounen an anba chalè solèy la.

13 Mèt la reponn yonn nan yo: Zanmi, mwen pa fè ou okenn lenjistis. Nou te antann pou yon pri, pa vre?

14 Enben, pran lajan ou, al fè wout ou. Se mwen menm ki vle bay moun ki vin an dènye yo menm lajan avè ou.

15 Eske m' pa gen dwa fè sa m' vle ak lajan mwen? Osinon, èske sa fè ou mal si m' gen bon kè?

16 Apre sa, Jezi di yo ankò: Se konsa moun ki dèyè yo va pran devan, moun ki devan yo va rete dèyè nèt.

17 ¶ Apre sa, Jezi t'ap moute Jerizalèm. Antan li t'ap mache sou wout la, li pran douz disip li yo apa, li di yo:

18 Tande. Men n'ap moute Jerizalèm kote yo pral lage m', mwen menm Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, nan men chèf prèt yo ansanm ak dirèktè lalwa yo. Yo pral kondannen m' amò,

19 y'ap lage m' bay moun lòt nasyon yo. Etranje sa yo pral pase m' nan rizib, yo pral bat mwen ak kout fwèt, apre sa yo pral kloure m' sou yon kwa. Men, sou twa jou, m'a leve soti vivan nan lanmò.

20 ¶ Lè sa a, manman pitit Zebede yo pwoche bò kote Jezi ak pitit li yo. Li bese tèt li byen ba devan Jezi pou mande l' yon favè.

21 Jezi di li: Kisa ou vle? Madanm lan reponn: Men de pitit mwen yo. Bay lòd pou yo chita, yonn sou bò dwat ou, lòt la sou bò gòch ou, lè ou va wa.

22 Jezi reponn li? Nou pa konnen sa n'ap mande la a. Eske nou kapab bwè nan menm gode doulè mwen gen pou m' bwè a? Yo di li: Nou kapab.

23 Jezi reponn yo: Se vre. n'a bwè nan gode m' lan. Men, kanta pou chita sou bò dwat osinon sou bò gòch mwen an, se pa mwen ki bay sa. Plas sa yo, Papa m' rezève yo pou moun li vle.

24 Lè dis lòt disip yo tande sa, yo pa t' manke fache sou de frè yo.

25 Jezi rele yo, li di yo: Nou konnen ki jan chèf nasyon yo trete pèp la tankou esklav. Grannèg yo renmen fè moun santi jan yo gen pouvwa.

26 Men, se pa konsa pou sa fèt nan mitan nou. Okontrè, si yonn nan nou ta vle vin grannèg, se pou l' sèvi nou tout.

27 Si yonn nan nou ta vle chèf, se pou l' esklav nou tout.

28 Se konsa, mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen pa vini pou moun rann mwen sèvis, men mwen vini pou m' rann moun sèvis. Wi, mwen vin bay lavi m' pou peye delivrans anpil moun.

29 ¶ Antan yo t'ap soti lavil Jeriko, yon gwo foul moun pran swiv Jezi.

30 Te gen de avèg chita bò chemen an. Yo annik tande se Jezi ki t'ap pase, yo pran rele: Mèt, pitit David la, pitye pou nou.

31 Moun yo t'ap kouri dèyè yo pou fè yo pe bouch yo. Men, yo t'ap rele pi rèd: Mèt, pitit David la, gen pitye pou nou!

32 Jezi rete, li rele avèg yo, li mande yo: Kisa nou vle m' fè pou nou?

33 Yo di li: Mèt, fè nou wè nan je nou ankò.

34 Kè Jezi fè l' mal pou yo, li manyen je yo. Menm lè a de mesye yo wè, epi yo swiv Jezi.

The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven(A)

18 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children,(B) you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.(C) Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.(D) And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.(E)

Causing to Stumble

“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.(F) Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!(G) If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble,(H) cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to stumble,(I) gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.(J)

The Parable of the Wandering Sheep(K)

10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels(L) in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven. [11] [a]

12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.

Dealing With Sin in the Church

15 “If your brother or sister[b] sins,[c] go and point out their fault,(M) just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’[d](N) 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church;(O) and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.(P)

18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be[e] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[f] loosed in heaven.(Q)

19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them(R) by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”(S)

The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant

21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me?(T) Up to seven times?”(U)

22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[g](V)

23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like(W) a king who wanted to settle accounts(X) with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold[h] was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay,(Y) the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold(Z) to repay the debt.

26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him.(AA) ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.

28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.[i] He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.

29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’

30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.

32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.

35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”(AB)

Divorce(AC)

19 When Jesus had finished saying these things,(AD) he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. Large crowds followed him, and he healed them(AE) there.

Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife(AF) for any and every reason?”

“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[j](AG) and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[k]?(AH) So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”(AI)

Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”(AJ)

10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”

11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.(AK) 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

The Little Children and Jesus(AL)

13 Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them(AM) and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.

14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs(AN) to such as these.”(AO) 15 When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.

The Rich and the Kingdom of God(AP)

16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life(AQ)?”(AR)

17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”(AS)

18 “Which ones?” he inquired.

Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery,(AT) you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’[l](AU) and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’[m](AV)

20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”

21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect,(AW) go, sell your possessions and give to the poor,(AX) and you will have treasure in heaven.(AY) Then come, follow me.”

22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich(AZ) to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”(BA)

27 Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you!(BB) What then will there be for us?”

28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne,(BC) you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(BD) 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[n] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.(BE) 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.(BF)

The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like(BG) a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.(BH) He agreed to pay them a denarius[o] for the day and sent them into his vineyard.

“About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ So they went.

“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. 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?’

“‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered.

“He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’

“When evening came,(BI) 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.’

“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(BJ) 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(BK) of the day.’

13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend.(BL) 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?’(BM)

16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”(BN)

Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time(BO)

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,(BP) and the Son of Man(BQ) will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law.(BR) They will condemn him to death 19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged(BS) and crucified.(BT) On the third day(BU) he will be raised to life!”(BV)

A Mother’s Request(BW)

20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons(BX) came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down,(BY) 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.”(BZ)

22 “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup(CA) I am going to drink?”

“We can,” they answered.

23 Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup,(CB) 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(CC) 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,(CD) 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man(CE) did not come to be served, but to serve,(CF) and to give his life as a ransom(CG) for many.”

Two Blind Men Receive Sight(CH)

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,(CI) 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.
