CHAP. XX.
1 Christ by the similitude of the labourers in the vineyard, sheweth that God is debtor vnto no man: 17 Foretelleth his passion: 20 By answering the mother of Zebedeus children, teacheth his disciples to be lowly: 30 and giueth two blinde men their sight.
2 And when hee had agreed with the labourers for a peny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.2
3 And he went out about the third houre, and saw others standing idle in the market place,
5 Againe he went out about the sixth and ninth houre, and did likewise.
9 And when they came that were hired about the eleuenth houre, they receiued euery man a penie.
11 And when they had receiued it, they murmured against the good man of the house,
12 Saying, These last haue wrought but one houre, and thou hast made them equall vnto vs, which haue borne the burden, and heat of the day.12
14 Take that thine is, and goe thy way, I will giue vnto this last, euen as vnto thee.
15 Is it not lawfull for mee to doe what I wil with mine owne? Is thine eye euill, because I am good?
16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many bee called, but fewe chosen.16
17 ¶ And Iesus going vp to Hierusalem, tooke the twelue disciples apart in the way, and said vnto them,17
19 And shal deliuer him to the Gentiles to mocke, and to scourge, and to crucifie him: and the third day he shall rise againe.19
20 ¶ Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children, with her sonnes, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.20
24 And when the ten heard it, they were moued with indignation against the two brethren.
25 But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion ouer them, and they that are great, exercise authoritie vpon them.25
26 But it shall not be so among you: But whosoeuer will bee great among you, let him be your minister.
27 And whosoeuer will be chiefe among you, let him be your seruant.
28 Euen as the Sonne of man came not to be ministred vnto, but minister, and to giue his life a ransome for many.28
29 And as they departed from Hiericho, a great multitude followed him.29
32 And Iesus stood still, and called them, and saide, What will yee that I shall doe vnto you?
33 They say vnto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
