Matthew 20
20
1After this Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “The Kingdom of heaven is like a certain individual, who was master in his house, who arose early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard”.
2“He hired them for one dinar a day and sent them into his vineyard”.
3“He went out at the third hour of the day and saw others standing idle in the market place”.
4“He said to them: ‘Go, also you, into my vineyard and that which is suitable I will give to you’.
5“So they went. Then he came out again at noon and also at the ninth hour and did the same”.
6“At the eleventh hour he went out also and found others standing and he said to them: ‘Why do you stand idle all day?’
7“They answered him: ‘No man has hired us’. So he said to them: ‘Go, also, you into my vineyard’.
8“It came to pass at evening, the master of the vineyard said to the officer over the laborers: ‘Call them that I might give to them their wages’. He began with the last and finished with the first”.
9“The last received one dinar”.
10“So the first thought they would receive more, but he gave only a dinar to each of them”.
11“Then the first murmured against the master of the vineyard
12“saying: ‘These last worked one hour and you have made them like us who have worked all day and in the heat’.
13“He answered one of them and said to him: ‘My friend, I have done you no injustice. Did I not hire you for one dinar?’
14‘Take it and go. If I wish to give this last like you’
15‘may I not do according to my desire? Is there evil in your eyes when I am good?’
16“So the last shall be first and the first last. Many are called but few are chosen”.
17Yeshua [God is Salvation] drew near to Yerushalayim [abode of peace] and took his twelve disciples and secretly said to them:
18“Behold we are going up to Yerushalayim [abode of peace] and the Son of Man will be delivered over unto the chief priests and Torah-teachers (Scribes) and they will condemn him to death”.
19“Also they will deliver him to the Goyim [Gentiles] to mock and scourge and crucify him, but on the third day he will arise”.
20Then came the wife of Zavdai [Yah has bestowed] with her sons, bowing down and making a request from him.
21He said to her: “What do you wish?” She said: ‘That you command these my two sons to sit the one on your right and the other on your left in your Kingdom’.
22Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered them: “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to endure the suffering and death that I am going to endure?”. They said: ‘We are able’.
23Then he said to them: “Drink my cup, but that you should sit on my left or my right is not for me to grant to you but to the one who is prepared before by my Father”
24The ten heard and it was a matter of anger, in their eyes, in regard to the two brothers.
25Yeshua [God is Salvation] brought them near to him and said to them: “Know that the princes of the Goyim [Gentiles] have dominion over them and their great ones seek to subdue them”.
26“It will not be so among you, because he who wishes to be great among you will serve you”.
27“He who among you who wishes to be first will be your slave”,
28“just as the Son of Man did not come that they might serve him, but that he might serve and give himself as a ransom for many”.
29They entered into Jericho and a crowd followed him.
30Behold two blind men came out beside the road. They heard the noise of the multitude and asked what this might be. It was said to them: ‘The Prophet Yeshua [God is Salvation] from Natsrat is coming’. Then they cried out saying: ‘Son of David [Beloved], have mercy on us’.
31But the crowd rebuked them saying: “Be silent”; they nevertheless were crying out saying: ‘Adon [Lord - Kurios of the Earth], Son of David [Beloved], have mercy on us’.
32So Yeshua [God is Salvation] ‘stopped, called them and said: “What do you want me to do for you?’”
33They said: ‘Adon [Lord - Kurios of the Earth], that our eyes might be opened’.
34Yeshua [God is Salvation] had pity on them, touched their eyes and said to them: “Your faith has healed you”. Immediately they saw, praised The Mighty One, and followed him. Then all the people praised The Mighty One, because of this.

Matthew 20
20
1For 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. 2And when he had agreed with the laborers for a shilling a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle; 4and to them he said, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 5Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. 6And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 7They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard. 8And 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. 9And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a shilling. 10And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a shilling. 11And when they received it, they murmured against the householder, 12saying, 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. 13But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a shilling? 14Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16So the last shall be first, and the first last.
17And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and on the way he said unto them, 18Behold, 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, 19and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up.
20Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping him, and asking a certain thing of him. 21And 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. 22But 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. 23He 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. 24And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren. 25But 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. 26Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister; 27and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant: 28even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
29And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. 30And 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. 31And 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. 32And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you? 33They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 34And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and straightway they received their sight, and followed him.
