ASV_Strong : Matthew 20
1. For[G1063] the kingdom[G932] of heaven[G3772] is[G2076] like[G3664] unto a man[G444] that was a householder[G3617], who[G3748] went out[G1831] early[G260] in the morning[G4404] to hire[G3409] laborers[G2040] into[G1519] his[G846] vineyard[G290].
2. And[G1161] when he had agreed[G4856] with[G3326] the laborers[G2040] for[G1537] a shilling[G1220] a day[G2250], he sent[G649] them[G846] into[G1519] his[G846] vineyard[G290].
3. And[G2532] he went out[G1831] about[G4012] the[G5610] third[G5154] hour[G5610], and saw[G1492] others[G243] standing[G2476] in[G1722] the marketplace[G58] idle[G692];
4. and[G2548] to them[G2036] he said[G5217], Go ye[G5210] also[G2532] into[G1519] the vineyard[G290], and[G2532] whatsoever[G3739] is[G5600] right[G1342] I will give[G1325] you[G5213]. And[G1161] they went their way[G565].
5. Again[G3825] he went out[G1831] about[G4012] the[G5610] sixth[G1623] and[G2532] the ninth[G1766] hour[G5610], and did[G4160] likewise[G5615].
6. And[G1161] about[G4012] the[G5610] eleventh[G1734] hour[G5610] he went out[G1831], and[G2532] found[G2147] others[G243] standing[G2476]; and[G2532] he saith[G3004] unto them[G846], Why[G5101] stand ye[G2476] here[G5602] all[G3650] the day[G2250] idle[G692]?
7. They say[G3004] unto him[G846], Because[G3754] no man[G3762] hath hired[G3409] us[G2248]. He saith[G3004] unto them[G846], Go[G5217] ye[G5210] also[G2532] into[G1519] the vineyard[G290].
8. And[G1161] when[G1096] even[G3798] was come[G1096], the lord[G2962] of the vineyard[G290] saith[G3004] unto[G2012] his[G846] steward[G2012], Call[G2564] the laborers[G2040], and[G2532] pay[G591] them[G846] their hire[G3408], beginning[G756] from[G575] the last[G2078] unto[G2193] the first[G4413].
9. And[G2532] when they came[G2064] that[G3588] were hired about[G4012] the[G5610] eleventh[G1734] hour[G5610], they received[G2983] every man[G303] a shilling[G1220].
10. And[G1161] when[G2064] the first[G4413] came[G2064], they supposed[G3543] that[G3754] they would receive[G2983] more[G4119]; and[G2532] they[G846] likewise[G2532] received[G2983] every man[G303] a shilling[G1220].
11. And[G1161] when they received[G2983] it[G1111], they murmured against[G2596] the householder[G3617],
12. saying[G3754], These[G3778] last[G2078] have spent[G4160] but one[G1520] hour[G5610], and[G2532] thou hast made[G4160] them[G846] equal[G2470] unto us[G2254], who have borne[G941] the burden[G922] of the day[G2250] and[G2532] the scorching heat[G2742].
13. But[G1161] he answered[G611] and said[G2036] to one[G1520] of them[G846], Friend[G2083], I do[G91] thee[G4571] no[G3756] wrong[G91]: didst[G4856] not[G3756] thou agree[G4856] with me[G3427] for a shilling[G1220]?
14. Take[G142] up that which is thine[G4674], and[G2532] go thy way[G5217]; it is my will[G2309] to[G1161] give[G1325] unto[G2078] this[G5129] last[G2078], even[G2532] as[G5613] unto thee[G4671].
15. Is it[G1832] not[G3756] lawful[G1832] for me[G3427] to do[G4160] what[G3739] I will[G2309] with[G1722] mine own[G1487]? or is[G2076] thine[G4675] eye[G3788] evil[G4190], because[G3754] I[G1473] am[G1510] good[G18]?
16. So[G3779] the last[G2078] shall be[G2071] first[G4413], and[G2532] the first[G4413] last[G2078].
17. And[G2532] as Jesus[G2424] was going up[G305] to[G1519] Jerusalem[G2414], he took[G3880] the twelve[G1427] disciples[G3101] apart[G2398], and[G2532] on the way[G3598] he said[G2036] unto them[G846],
18. Behold[G2400], we go up[G305] to[G1519] Jerusalem[G2414]; and[G2532] the Son[G5207] of man[G444] shall be delivered[G3860] unto the chief priests[G749] and[G2532] scribes[G1122]; and[G2532] they shall condemn[G2632] him[G846] to death[G2288],
19. and[G2532] shall deliver[G3860] him[G846] unto the Gentiles[G1484] to[G1519] mock[G1702], and[G2532] to scourge[G3146], and[G2532] to crucify[G4717]: and[G2532] the[G2250] third[G5154] day[G2250] he shall be raised up[G450].
20. Then[G5119] came[G4334] to him[G846] the mother[G3384] of[G5207] the sons[G5207] of Zebedee[G2199] with[G3326] her[G846] sons[G5207], worshipping[G4352] him[G2532], and asking[G154] a certain thing[G5100] of[G3844] him[G846].
21. And[G1161] he said[G2036] unto her[G846], What[G5101] wouldest thou[G2309]? She saith[G3004] unto him[G846], Command[G2036] that[G2443] these[G3778] my[G3450] two[G1417] sons[G5207] may sit[G2523], one[G1520] on[G1537] thy[G4675] right hand[G1188], and[G2532] one[G1520] on[G1537] thy left[G2176] hand[G1722], in thy[G4675] kingdom[G932].
22. But[G1161] Jesus[G2424] answered[G611] and said[G2036], Ye know[G1492] not[G3756] what[G5101] ye ask[G154]. Are ye able[G1410] to drink[G4095] the cup[G4221] that[G3739] I[G1473] am[G3195] about to drink[G4095]? They say[G3004] unto him[G846], We are able[G1410].
23. He[G2532] saith[G3004] unto them[G846], My[G3450] cup[G4221] indeed[G3303] ye shall drink[G4095]: but[G1161] to sit[G2523] on[G1537] my[G3450] right hand[G1188], and[G2532] on[G1537] my[G3450] left[G2176] hand[G1473], is not[G3756] mine[G3450] to give[G1325]; but[G1161] it is[G2076] for them for whom[G3739] it hath been prepared[G2090] of[G5259] my[G1699] Father[G3962].
24. And[G2532] when[G191] the ten[G1176] heard[G191] it[G23], they were moved with indignation concerning[G4012] the two[G1417] brethren[G80].
25. But[G1161] Jesus[G2424] called[G4341] them[G846] unto him[G2036], and said, Ye know[G1492] that[G3754] the rulers[G758] of the Gentiles[G1484] lord it over[G2634] them[G846], and[G2532] their great[G3173] ones exercise authority over[G2715] them[G846].
26. Not[G3756] so[G3779] shall[G2071] it be[G2071] among[G1722] you[G5213]: but[G235] whosoever[G3739] would become[G2309] great[G3173] among[G1722] you[G5213] shall be[G2309] your[G5213] minister[G1249];
27. and[G2532] whosoever[G3739] would[G2309] be[G1511] first[G4413] among[G1722] you[G5213] shall be[G1511] your[G5213] servant[G1401]:
28. even as[G5618] the Son[G5207] of man[G444] came[G2064] not[G3756] to be ministered unto[G1247], but[G235] to minister[G1247], and[G2532] to give[G1325] his[G846] life[G5590] a ransom[G3083] for[G473] many[G4183].
29. And[G2532] as[G1607] they[G846] went[G1607] out[G575] from[G575] Jericho[G2410], a[G3793] great[G4183] multitude[G3793] followed[G190] him[G846].
30. And[G2532] behold[G2400], two[G1417] blind men[G5185] sitting[G2521] by[G3844] the way side[G3598], when they heard[G191] that[G3754] Jesus[G2424] was passing by[G3855], cried out[G2896], saying[G3004], Lord[G2962], have mercy on[G1653] us[G2248], thou son[G5207] of David[G1138].
31. And[G1161] the multitude[G3793] rebuked[G2008] them[G846], that[G2443] they should hold their peace[G4623]: but[G1161] they cried[G2896] out the more[G3185], saying[G3004], Lord[G2962], have mercy on[G1653] us[G2248], thou son[G5207] of David[G1138].
32. And[G2532] Jesus[G2424] stood still[G2476], and called[G5455] them[G846], and[G2532] said[G2036], What[G5101] will ye[G2309] that I should do[G4160] unto you[G5213]?
33. They say[G3004] unto him[G846], Lord[G2962], that[G2443] our[G2257] eyes[G3788] may be opened[G455].
34. And[G1161] Jesus[G2424], being moved with compassion[G4697], touched[G680] their[G846] eyes[G3788]; and[G2532] straightway[G2112] they received their[G846] sight[G308], and[G2532] followed[G190] him[G846].
