1 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 Zebedee’s 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.

1 Sest Taevariik on majaisanda sarnane, kes vara hommikul välja läks töötegijaid palkama oma viinamäele.

2 Kui ta töötegijatega oli kokku leppinud ühe teenari peale päevapalgaks, läkitas ta nad oma viinamäele.

3 Ja ta läks välja kolmandal tunnil ja nägi teisi turul tööta seisvat

4 ja ütles neile: Minge ka teie viinamäele ja mis iganes õige on, annan ma teile!

5 Ja nad läksid ära. Taas läks ta välja kuuendal ja üheksandal tunnil ja tegi nõndasamuti.

6 Aga üheteistkümnendal tunnil ta läks välja ja leidis teisi seisvat ja ütles neile: Mis te siin kogu päeva tööta seisate?

7 Nad ütlesid temale: Meid ei ole keegi palganud! Tema ütles neile: Minge teiegi viinamäele!

8 Kui siis õhtu tuli, ütles viinamäe isand oma ülevaatajale: Kutsu töötegijad ja anna neile palk alates viimseist kuni esimesteni.

9 Kui nüüd need tulid, kes üheteistkümnendal tunnil olid palgatud, said nad igaüks ühe teenari.

10

11 Kui nad olid saanud, nurisesid nad majaisanda vastu

12 ning ütlesid: Need viimsed aga on ühe tunni tööd teinud ja sa oled nad teinud meie väärilisteks, kes me päeva koormat ja palavust oleme kannud!

13 Aga ta kostis ning ütles ühele nende seast: Sõber, ma ei tee sulle ülekohut; eks sa leppinud minuga kokku ühe teenari peale?

14 Võta, mis ainule kuulub, ja mine oma teed; aga ma tahan sellele viimsele anda nõnda nagu sinulegi.

15 Kas ei ole mul luba enese omaga teha, mida ma tahan? Või on sinu silm kade, et mina hea olen?

16 Nõnda saavad viimsed esimesteks ja esimesed viimseiks. Sest paljud on kutsutud, kuid vähesed on valitud!"

17 Ja tahtes minna üles Jeruusalemma, võttis Jeesus need kaksteistkümmend isepäinis ja ütles teel olles neile:

18 „Vaata, me läheme üles Jeruusalemma ja Inimese Poeg antakse ülempreestrite ja kirjatundjate kätte, ja nad mõistavad Tema surma

19 ja annavad Tema paganate kätte pilgata ja piitsutada ja risti lüüa; ja kolmandal päeval Ta äratatakse üles!"

20 Siis astus Sebedeuse poegade ema Tema juure ühes oma poegadega, kummardas ja palus Talt midagi.

21 Aga Ta ütles naisele: „Mida sa tahad?" Tema ütles Temale: „Ūtle, et need mu kaks poega istuksid üks Su paremale ja teine Su vasakule käele Sinu Kuningriigis!"

22 Aga Jeesus vastas ning ütles: „Te ei tea, mida te palute! Kas te võite juua seda karikat, mis Minul tuleb juua?" Nad ütlesid Talle: „Jah, võime!"

23 Tema ütles neile: „Minu karika te küll joote, aga Mu paremal ja vasakul käel istuda ei ole Minu käes teile anda, vaid kellele Mu Isa selle on valmistanud."

24

25 Aga Jeesus kutsus nad Enese juure ja ütles: „Te teate, et paganate ülemad valitsevad nende üle ja suured isandad tarvitavad vägivalda nende kallal.

26 Teie seas aga ei tohi nõnda olla; vaid kes iganes teie seast tahab suureks saada, see olgu teie teenija;

27 ja kes teie seast tahab olla kõige esimene, see olgu teie ori;

28 otsegu Inimese Poeg ei ole tulnud, et Teda teenitaks, vaid teenima ja Oma hinge andma lunaks paljude eest!"

29 Ja kui nad Jeerikost välja läksid, järgis Teda palju rahvast.

30 Ja vaata, kaks pimedat istus tee ääres, ja kui nad kuulsid, et Jeesus läheb mööda, kisendasid nad: „Issand, Taaveti Poeg, halasta meie peale!"

31 Aga rahvas sõitles neid, et nad vait jääksid. Kuid nad kisendasid veel enam: „Issand, Taaveti Poeg, halasta meie peale!"

32 Siis Jeesus jäi seisma, hüüdis neid ja ütles: „Mida te tahate, et Ma teile teeksin?"

33 Nad ütlesid Temale: „Issand, et meie silmad läheksid lahti!"

34 siis Jeesusel hakkas hale meel ja Ta puudutas nende silmi. Ja kohe nad nägid jälle ja järgisid Teda.
