1 "天国好像一个家主， 清早出去雇请工人到他的葡萄园工作。
2 他和工人讲定了一天的工钱是一个银币， 然后派他们到葡萄园去。
3 大约九点钟， 他又出去， 看见还有人闲站在街市上，
4 就对他们说： ‘你们也到葡萄园来吧， 我会给你们合理的工钱。’
5 他们就去了。约在正午和下午三点钟， 他又出去， 也是这样作。
6 下午五点钟左右， 他再出去， 看见还有人站着， 就问他们： ‘你们为什么整天站在这里不去作工？’
7 他们回答： ‘没有人用我们。’他说： ‘你们也到葡萄园来吧。’
8 到了黄昏， 园主对管工说： ‘把工人叫来， 给他们工钱， 从最后的开始， 到最先来的。’
9 那些下午五点钟才开始作工的人来了， 每个人都领到一个银币。
10 最先作工的人也来了， 以为会多得一点， 但每个人也是领到一个银币。
11 他们领到之后， 就埋怨家主， 说：
12 ‘我们整天在烈日之下劳苦， 这些后来的人只工作了一个小时， 你却给他们跟我们一样的工钱。’
13 家主回答他们当中的一个， 说： ‘朋友， 我并没有亏待你。你我不是讲定了一个银币吗？
14 拿你的工钱走吧！ 我给那后来的和给你的一样， 是我的主意。
15 难道我不可以照自己的主意用我的财物吗？还是因为我仁慈你就嫉妒呢？’
16 因此， 在后的将要在前， 在前的将要在后。"
17 耶稣上耶路撒冷去的时候， 把十二门徒带到一边， 对他们说：
18 "我们现在上耶路撒冷去， 人子要被交给祭司长和经学家， 他们要定他死罪，
19 把他交给外族人凌辱、鞭打， 并且钉在十字架上。然而第三天他要复活。"
20 那时， 西庇太的儿子的母亲， 带着她的两个儿子前来见耶稣。她跪在耶稣面前求他。
21 耶稣问她： "你想要什么？"她说： "求你下令， 使我这两个儿子在你的国里， 一个坐在你的右边， 一个坐在你的左边。"
22 耶稣回答： "你们不知道你们求的是什么。我将要喝的杯， 你们能喝吗？"他们说： "能。"
23 他对他们说： "我的杯你们固然要喝， 只是坐在我的左右， 不是我可以赐的； 我父预备赐给谁， 就赐给谁。"
24 其他十个门徒听见了， 就向他们兄弟二人生气。
25 耶稣把他们叫过来， 说： "你们知道各国都有元首统治他们， 也有官长管辖他们。
26 但你们中间却不要这样； 谁想在你们中间成为大的， 就要作你们的仆役；
27 谁想在你们中间为首的， 就要作你们的奴仆。
28 正如人子来， 不是要受人的服事， 而是要服事人， 并且要舍命， 作许多人的赎价。"
29 他们从耶利哥出来的时候， 有许多人跟着耶稣。
30 有两个瞎眼的人坐在路旁， 听说耶稣经过， 就喊叫： "主啊， 大卫的子孙， 可怜我们吧！ "
31 群众责备他们， 叫他们不要出声， 他们却更加放声喊叫： "主啊， 大卫的子孙， 可怜我们吧！ "
32 耶稣就站住， 叫他们过来， 说： "要我为你们作什么呢？"
33 他们说： "主啊， 求你开我们的眼睛。"
34 耶稣就怜悯他们， 摸他们的眼睛。他们立刻能看见， 就跟从了耶稣。
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that was a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard. 2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a shilling a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle; 4 and to them he said, 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 the ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing; and he 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. 8 And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the laborers, and pay 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 shilling. 10 And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a shilling. 11 And when they received it, they murmured against the householder, 12 saying, These last have spent but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat. 13 But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a shilling? 14 Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last.
17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and on the way he said unto them, 18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, 19 and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up.
20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping him, and asking a certain thing of him. 21 And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom. 22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able. 23 He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give; but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared of my Father. 24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren. 25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26 Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister; 27 and whosoever would be first among you shall 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 went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. 30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David. 31 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David. 32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you? 33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 34 And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and straightway they received their sight, and followed him.
