1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.2 He agreed to pay them a denarius "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, 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 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 of the day.'13 "But he answered one of them, 'I am not being unfair to you, friend. 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?'16 "So the last will be first, and the first will be last."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, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!"20 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, 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."22 "You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said to them. "Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?" "We can," they answered.23 Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, 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 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,27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave —28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."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, 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.

1 فان ملكوت السموات يشبه رجلا رب بيت خرج مع الصبح ليستأجر فعلة لكرمه.2 فأتفق مع الفعلة على دينار في اليوم وارسلهم الى كرمه.3 ثم خرج نحو الساعة الثالثة ورأى آخرين قياما في السوق بطالين.4 فقال لهم اذهبوا انتم ايضا الى الكرم فاعطيكم ما يحق لكم. فمضوا.5 وخرج ايضا نحو الساعة السادسة والتاسعة وفعل كذلك.6 ثم نحو الساعة الحادية عشرة خرج ووجد آخرين قياما بطالين. فقال لهم لماذا وقفتم هنا كل النهار بطالين.7 قالوا له لانه لم يستأجرنا احد. قال لهم اذهبوا انتم ايضا الى الكرم فتأخذوا ما يحق لكم.8 فلما كان المساء قال صاحب الكرم لوكيله. ادع الفعلة واعطهم الاجرة مبتدئا من الاخرين الى الاولين.9 فجاء اصحاب الساعة الحادية عشرة واخذوا دينارا دينارا.10 فلما جاء الاولون ظنوا انهم يأخذون اكثر. فاخذوا هم ايضا دينارا دينارا11 وفيما هم ياخذون تذمروا على رب البيت12 قائلين. هؤلاء الآخرون عملوا ساعة واحدة وقد ساويتهم بنا نحن الذين احتملنا ثقل النهار والحر.13 فاجاب وقال لواحد منهم. يا صاحب ما ظلمتك. أما اتفقت معي على دينار.14 فخذ الذي لك واذهب. فاني اريد ان اعطي هذا الاخير مثلك.15 او ما يحل لي ان افعل ما اريد بما لي. أم عينك شريرة لاني انا صالح.16 هكذا يكون الآخرون اولين والاولون آخرين. لان كثيرين يدعون وقليلين ينتخبون17 وفيما كان يسوع صاعدا الى اورشليم اخذ الاثني عشر تلميذا على انفراد في الطريق وقال لهم.18 ها نحن صاعدون الى اورشليم وابن الانسان يسلم الى رؤساء الكهنة والكتبة فيحكمون عليه بالموت.19 ويسلمونه الى الامم لكي يهزأوا به ويجلدوه ويصلبوه. وفي اليوم الثالث يقوم20 حينئذ تقدمت اليه ام ابني زبدي مع ابنيها وسجدت وطلبت منه شيئا.21 فقال لها ماذا تريدين. قالت له قل ان يجلس ابناي هذان واحد عن يمينك والآخر عن اليسار في ملكوتك.22 فاجاب يسوع وقال لستما تعلمان ما تطلبان. أتستطيعان ان تشربا الكاس التي سوف اشربها انا وان تصطبغا بالصبغة التي اصطبغ بها انا. قالا له نستطيع.23 فقال لهما اما كاسي فتشربانها وبالصبغة التي اصطبغ بها انا تصطبغان واما الجلوس عن يميني وعن يساري فليس لي ان اعطيه الا للذين اعدّ لهم من ابي.24 فلما سمع العشرة اغتاظوا من اجل الاخوين.25 فدعاهم يسوع وقال انتم تعلمون ان رؤساء الامم يسودونهم والعظماء يتسلطون عليهم.26 فلا يكون هكذا فيكم. بل من اراد ان يكون فيكم عظيما فليكن لكم خادما.27 ومن اراد ان يكون فيكم اولا فليكن لكم عبدا.28 كما ان ابن الانسان لم يأت ليخدم بل ليخدم وليبذل نفسه فدية عن كثيرين29 وفيما هم خارجون من اريحا تبعه جمع كثير.30 واذا اعميان جالسان على الطريق. فلما سمعا ان يسوع مجتاز صرخا قائلين ارحمنا يا سيد يا ابن داود.31 فانتهرهما الجمع ليسكتا فكانا يصرخان اكثر قائلين ارحمنا يا سيد يا ابن داود.32 فوقف يسوع وناداهما وقال ماذا تريدان ان افعل بكما.33 قالا له يا سيد ان تنفتح اعيننا.34 فتحنن يسوع ولمس اعينهما فللوقت ابصرت اعينهما فتبعاه
