¹ For the kingdom of the heavens, is like, a man, a householder, - who went forth with the morning, to hire labourers into his vineyard;² and, when he had agreed with the labourers for a denary the day, he sent them into his vineyard.³ And, going forth about the third hour, he saw others, standing in the market-place, unemployed;⁴ and, to them, he said - ye also, go your way into the vineyard, and, whatsoever may be right, I will give you;⁵ and, they, departed. And, again, going forth about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.⁶ And, about the eleventh, going forth, he found others, standing, and saith unto them - Why, here, stand ye, all the day, unemployed?⁷ They say unto him - Because, no one, hath hired, us. He saith unto them - Ye also, go your way into the vineyard.⁸ And, when evening came, the master of the vineyard saith unto his steward - Call the labourers, and pay the hire, - beginning from the last, unto the first.⁹ And they of the eleventh hour, coming, received severally a denary.¹⁰ And, when the first came, they supposed that, more, they should receive, - and, they also, received severally a denary.¹¹ And, having received it, they began to murmur against the householder, saying - ¹² These last, one hour, wrought, and thou hast made them, equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day, and the scorching heat.¹³ And, he, answering, unto one of them, said, - Friend! I wrong thee not: Was it not, for a denary, thou didst agree with me?¹⁴ Take thine own, and go thy way; but I please, unto this last, to give, as also to thee:¹⁵ Is it not allowed me to do, what I please, with my own? or is, thine eye, evil, because I good?¹⁶ Thus, shall be - The last first, and the first last.

¹⁷ And, Jesus, being about to go up unto Jerusalem, took unto him the twelve disciples, apart, and, in the way, he said unto them - ¹⁸ Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem; and, the Son of Man, will be delivered up unto the chief-priests and Scribes, and they will condemn him, to death,¹⁹ And deliver him up unto the nations, to mock and to scourge and to crucify, - and, on the third day, he will, arise.

²⁰ Then came unto him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down, and asking something from him.²¹ And, he, said to her - What desirest thou? She saith unto him - Bid, that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy kingdom.²² But Jesus, answering, said - Ye know not what ye are asking: Are ye able to drink the cup, which, 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, is not mine to give, - except unto those for whom it hath been prepared by my Father.²⁴ And the ten, hearing, were sorely displeased, concerning the two brethren.²⁵ But, Jesus, calling them near, said - Ye know that, the rulers of the nations, lord it over them, and, the great ones, wield authority over them:²⁶ Not so, is it, among you, - but, whosoever shall desire, among you, to become, great, shall be, your minister;²⁷ And, whosoever shall desire, among you, to be first, shall be, your servant: - ²⁸ Just as, the Son of Man, came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom instead of many.

²⁹ And, as they were going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude;³⁰ and lo! two blind men, sitting beside the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried aloud saying - Lord! have mercy on us! Son of David!³¹ But the multitude rebuked them, that they might hold their peace. But, they, the more, cried aloud, saying - Lord, have mercy on us! Son of David!³² And, standing still, Jesus called them, and said - What desire ye I should do for you?³³ They say unto him - Lord! that, our eyes, may open.³⁴ And, moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, - and, straightway, they recovered sight, and followed him.
