WEB·Matthew 21

¹When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

KJVAnd^G2532 when^G3753 they drew nigh^G1448^(G5656) unto^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414, and^G2532 were come^G2064^(G5627) to^G1519 Bethphage^G967, unto^G4314 the mount^G3735 of Olives^G1636, then^G5119 sent^G649^(G5656) Jesus^G2424 two^G1417 disciples^G3101,

² saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723) unto them^G846, Go^G4198^(G5680) into^G1519 the village^G2968 over against^G561 you^G5216, and^G2532 straightway^G2112 ye shall find^G2147^(G5692) an ass^G3688 tied^G1210^(G5772), and^G2532 a colt^G4454 with^G3326 her^G846: loose^G3089^(G5660) them, and bring^G71^(G5628) them unto me^G3427.

³ If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437 any man^G5100 say^G2036^(G5632) ought^G5100 unto you^G5213, ye shall say^G2046^(G5692),^G3754 The Lord^G2962 hath^G2192^(G5719) need^G5532 of them^G846; and^G1161 straightway^G2112 he will send^G649^(G5692) them^G846.

⁴ All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

KJVAll^G1161^G3650 this^G5124 was done^G1096^(G5754), that^G2443 it might be fulfilled^G4137^(G5686) which^G3588 was spoken^G4483^(G5685) by^G1223 the prophet^G4396, saying^G3004^(G5723),

⁵ “Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”

KJVTell ye^G2036^(G5628) the daughter^G2364 of Sion^G4622, Behold^G2400^(G5628), thy^G4675 King^G935 cometh^G2064^(G5736) unto thee^G4671, meek^G4239, and^G2532 sitting^G1910^(G5761) upon^G1909 an ass^G3688, and^G2532 a colt^G4454 the foal^G5207 of an ass^G5268.

⁶ The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them,

KJVAnd^G1161 the disciples^G3101 went^G4198^(G5679), and^G2532 did^G4160^(G5660) as^G2531 Jesus^G2424 commanded^G4367^(G5656) them^G846,

⁷ and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.

KJVAnd brought^G71^(G5627) the ass^G3688, and^G2532 the colt^G4454, and^G2532 put^G2007^(G5656) on^G1883 them^G846 their^G846 clothes^G2440, and^G2532 they set^G1940^(G5656)^(G5625)^G1940^(G5656) him thereon^G1883^G846.

⁸ A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

KJVAnd^G1161 a very great^G4118 multitude^G3793 spread^G4766^(G5656) their^G1438 garments^G2440 in^G1722 the way^G3598; others^G1161^G243 cut down^G2875^(G5707) branches^G2798 from^G575 the trees^G1186, and^G2532 strawed^G4766^(G5707) them in^G1722 the way^G3598.

⁹ The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

KJVAnd^G1161 the multitudes^G3793 that went before^G4254^(G5723), and^G2532 that followed^G190^(G5723), cried^G2896^(G5707), saying^G3004^(G5723), Hosanna^G5614 to the Son^G5207 of David^G1138: Blessed^G2127^(G5772) is he that cometh^G2064^(G5740) in^G1722 the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962; Hosanna^G5614 in^G1722 the highest^G5310.

¹⁰ When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”

KJVAnd^G2532 when he^G846 was come^G1525^(G5631) into^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414, all^G3956 the city^G4172 was moved^G4579^(G5681), saying^G3004^(G5723), Who^G5101 is^G2076^(G5748) this^G3778?

¹¹ The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”

KJVAnd^G1161 the multitude^G3793 said^G3004^(G5707), This^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) Jesus^G2424 the prophet^G4396 of^G575 Nazareth^G3478 of Galilee^G1056.

¹² Jesus entered into the temple of God and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 went^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 the temple^G2411 of God^G2316, and^G2532 cast out^G1544^(G5627) all them^G3956 that sold^G4453^(G5723) and^G2532 bought^G59^(G5723) in^G1722 the temple^G2411, and^G2532 overthrew^G2690^(G5656) the tables^G5132 of the moneychangers^G2855, and^G2532 the seats^G2515 of them that sold^G4453^(G5723) doves^G4058,

¹³ He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”

KJVAnd^G2532 said^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, It is written^G1125^(G5769), My^G3450 house^G3624 shall be called^G2564^(G5701) the house^G3624 of prayer^G4335; but^G1161 ye^G5210 have made^G4160^(G5656) it^G846 a den^G4693 of thieves^G3027.

¹⁴ The lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

KJVAnd^G2532 the blind^G5185 and^G2532 the lame^G5560 came^G4334^(G5656) to him^G846 in^G1722 the temple^G2411; and^G2532 he healed^G2323^(G5656) them^G846.

¹⁵ But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,

KJVAnd^G1161 when the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 scribes^G1122 saw^G1492^(G5631) the wonderful things^G2297 that^G3739 he did^G4160^(G5656), and^G2532 the children^G3816 crying^G2896^(G5723) in^G1722 the temple^G2411, and^G2532 saying^G3004^(G5723), Hosanna^G5614 to the Son^G5207 of David^G1138; they were sore displeased^G23^(G5656),

¹⁶ and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”

KJVAnd^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Hearest thou^G191^(G5719) what^G5101 these^G3778 say^G3004^(G5719)? And^G1161 Jesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Yea^G3483; have ye never^G3763 read^G314^(G5627),^G3754 Out of^G1537 the mouth^G4750 of babes^G3516 and^G2532 sucklings^G2337^(G5723) thou hast perfected^G2675^(G5668) praise^G136?

¹⁷ He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.

KJVAnd^G2532 he left^G2641^(G5631) them^G846, and went^G1831^(G5627) out of^G1854 the city^G4172 into^G1519 Bethany^G963; and^G2532 he lodged^G835^(G5675) there^G1563.

¹⁸ Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.

KJVNow^G1161 in the morning^G4405 as he returned^G1877^(G5723) into^G1519 the city^G4172, he hungered^G3983^(G5656).

¹⁹ Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he saw^G1492^(G5631) a^G3391 fig tree^G4808 in^G1909 the way^G3598, he came^G2064^(G5627) to^G1909 it^G846, and^G2532 found^G2147^(G5627) nothing^G3762 thereon^G1722^G846, but^G1508 leaves^G5444 only^G3440, and^G2532 said^G3004^(G5719) unto it^G846, Let no^G1096 fruit^G2590 grow^G1096^(G5638) on^G1537 thee^G4675 henceforward^G3371 for^G1519 ever^G165. And^G2532 presently^G3916 the fig tree^G4808 withered away^G3583^(G5681).

²⁰ When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”

KJVAnd^G2532 when the disciples^G3101 saw^G1492^(G5631) it, they marvelled^G2296^(G5656), saying^G3004^(G5723), How^G4459 soon^G3916 is the fig tree^G4808 withered away^G3583^(G5681)!

²¹ Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5679) and^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Verily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, If^G1437 ye have^G2192^(G5725) faith^G4102, and^G2532 doubt^G1252^(G5686) not^G3361, ye shall^G4160 not^G3756 only^G3440 do^G4160^(G5692) this^G3440 which is done to the fig tree^G4808, but^G235 also if^G2579 ye shall say^G2036^(G5632) unto this^G5129 mountain^G3735, Be thou removed^G142^(G5682), and^G2532 be thou cast^G906^(G5682) into^G1519 the sea^G2281; it shall be done^G1096^(G5695).

²² All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

KJVAnd^G2532 all things^G3956, whatsoever^G302^G3745 ye shall ask^G154^(G5661) in^G1722 prayer^G4335, believing^G4100^(G5723), ye shall receive^G2983^(G5695).

²³ When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”

KJVAnd^G2532 when he^G846 was come^G2064^(G5631) into^G1519 the temple^G2411, the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 the elders^G4245 of the people^G2992 came^G4334^(G5656) unto him^G846 as he was teaching^G1321^(G5723), and said^G3004^(G5723), By^G1722 what^G4169 authority^G1849 doest thou^G4160^(G5719) these things^G5023? and^G2532 who^G5101 gave^G1325^(G5656) thee^G4671 this^G5026 authority^G1849?

²⁴ Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

KJVAnd^G1161 Jesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, I also^G2504 will ask^G2065^(G5692) you^G5209 one^G1520 thing^G3056, which^G3739 if^G1437 ye tell^G2036^(G5632) me^G3427, I in like wise^G2504 will tell^G2046^(G5692) you^G5213 by^G1722 what^G4169 authority^G1849 I do^G4160^(G5719) these things^G5023.

²⁵ The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

KJVThe baptism^G908 of John^G2491, whence^G4159 was it^G2258^(G5713)? from^G1537 heaven^G3772, or^G2228 of^G1537 men^G444? And^G1161 they reasoned^G1260^(G5711) with^G3844 themselves^G1438, saying^G3004^(G5723), If^G1437 we shall say^G2036^(G5632), From^G1537 heaven^G3772; he will say^G2046^(G5692) unto us^G2254, Why^G1302 did ye^G4100 not^G3756 then^G3767 believe^G4100^(G5656) him^G846?

²⁶ But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1437 we shall say^G2036^(G5632), Of^G1537 men^G444; we fear^G5399^(G5736) the people^G3793; for^G1063 all^G3956 hold^G2192^(G5719) John^G2491 as^G5613 a prophet^G4396.

²⁷ They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

KJVAnd^G2532 they answered^G611^(G5679) Jesus^G2424, and said^G2036^(G5627), We cannot^G3756 tell^G1492^(G5758). And^G2532 he^G846 said^G5346^(G5713) unto them^G846, Neither^G3761 tell^G3004^(G5719) I^G1473 you^G5213 by^G1722 what^G4169 authority^G1849 I do^G4160^(G5719) these things^G5023.

²⁸ But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’

KJVBut^G1161 what^G5101 think^G1380^(G5719) ye^G5213? A certain man^G444 had^G2192^(G5707) two^G1417 sons^G5043; and^G2532 he came^G4334^(G5631) to the first^G4413, and said^G2036^(G5627), Son^G5043, go^G5217^(G5720) work^G2038^(G5737) to day^G4594 in^G1722 my^G3450 vineyard^G290.

²⁹ He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.

KJVHe answered^G1161^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627), I will^G2309^(G5719) not^G3756: but^G1161 afterward^G5305 he repented^G3338^(G5679), and went^G565^(G5627).

³⁰ He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t go.

KJVAnd^G2532 he came^G4334^(G5631) to the second^G1208, and said^G2036^(G5627) likewise^G5615. And^G1161 he answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627), I^G1473 go, sir^G2962: and^G2532 went^G565^(G5627) not^G3756.

³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.

KJVWhether^G5101 of^G1537 them twain^G1417 did^G4160^(G5656) the will^G2307 of his father^G3962? They say^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, The first^G4413. Jesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Verily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, That^G3754 the publicans^G5057 and^G2532 the harlots^G4204 go^G4254 into^G1519 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 before^G4254^(G5719) you^G5209.

³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.

KJVFor^G1063 John^G2491 came^G2064^(G5627) unto^G4314 you^G5209 in^G1722 the way^G3598 of righteousness^G1343, and^G2532 ye believed^G4100^(G5656) him^G846 not^G3756: but^G1161 the publicans^G5057 and^G2532 the harlots^G4204 believed^G4100^(G5656) him^G846: and^G1161 ye^G5210, when ye had seen^G1492^(G5631) it, repented^G3338^(G5675) not^G3756 afterward^G5305, that ye might believe^G4100^(G5658) him^G846.

³³ “Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.

KJVHear^G191^(G5657) another^G243 parable^G3850: There was^G2258^(G5713) a certain^G444^G5100 householder^G3617, which^G3748 planted^G5452^(G5656) a vineyard^G290, and^G2532 hedged^G5418 it^G846 round about^G4060^(G5656), and^G2532 digged^G3736^(G5656) a winepress^G3025 in^G1722 it^G846, and^G2532 built^G3618^(G5656) a tower^G4444, and^G2532 let^G1554 it^G846 out^G1554^(G5639) to husbandmen^G1092, and^G2532 went into a far country^G589^(G5656):

³⁴ When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G3753 the time^G2540 of the fruit^G2590 drew near^G1448^(G5656), he sent^G649^(G5656) his^G846 servants^G1401 to^G4314 the husbandmen^G1092, that they might receive^G2983^(G5629) the fruits^G2590 of it^G846.

³⁵ The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

KJVAnd^G2532 the husbandmen^G1092 took^G2983^(G5631) his^G846 servants^G1401, and beat^G1194^(G5656) one^G3739,^G3303 and^G1161 killed^G615^(G5656) another^G3739, and^G1161 stoned^G3036^(G5681) another^G3739.

³⁶ Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way.

KJVAgain^G3825, he sent^G649^(G5656) other^G243 servants^G1401 more^G4119 than the first^G4413: and^G2532 they did^G4160^(G5656) unto them^G846 likewise^G5615.

³⁷ But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

KJVBut^G1161 last of all^G5305 he sent^G649^(G5656) unto^G4314 them^G846 his^G846 son^G5207, saying^G3004^(G5723), They will reverence^G1788^(G5691) my^G3450 son^G5207.

³⁸ But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’

KJVBut^G1161 when the husbandmen^G1092 saw^G1492^(G5631) the son^G5207, they said^G2036^(G5627) among^G1722 themselves^G1438, This^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the heir^G2818; come^G1205^(G5773), let us kill^G615^(G5725) him^G846, and^G2532 let us seize^G2722^(G5632) on his^G846 inheritance^G2817.

³⁹ So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.

KJVAnd^G2532 they caught^G2983^(G5631) him^G846, and cast^G1544^(G5627) him out of^G1854 the vineyard^G290, and^G2532 slew^G615^(G5656) him.

⁴⁰ When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”

KJVWhen^G3752 the lord^G2962 therefore^G3767 of the vineyard^G290 cometh^G2064^(G5632), what^G5101 will he do^G4160^(G5692) unto those^G1565 husbandmen^G1092?

⁴¹ They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruit in its season.”

KJVThey say^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, He will miserably^G2560 destroy^G622^(G5692) those^G846 wicked men^G2556, and^G2532 will let out^G1554^(G5695) his vineyard^G290 unto other^G243 husbandmen^G1092, which^G3748 shall render^G591^(G5692) him^G846 the fruits^G2590 in^G1722 their^G846 seasons^G2540.

⁴² Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?

KJVJesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Did ye^G314 never^G3763 read^G314^(G5627) in^G1722 the scriptures^G1124, The stone^G3037 which^G3739 the builders^G3618^(G5723) rejected^G593^(G5656), the same^G3778 is become^G1096^(G5675)^G1519 the head^G2776 of the corner^G1137: this^G3778 is^G3844 the Lord's^G2962 doing^G1096^(G5633), and^G2532 it is^G2076^(G5748) marvellous^G2298 in^G1722 our^G2257 eyes^G3788?

⁴³ “Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.

KJVTherefore^G1223^G5124 say I^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213,^G3754 The kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 shall be taken^G142^(G5701) from^G575 you^G5216, and^G2532 given^G1325^(G5701) to a nation^G1484 bringing forth^G4160^(G5723) the fruits^G2590 thereof^G846.

⁴⁴ He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”

KJVAnd^G2532 whosoever shall fall^G4098^(G5631) on^G1909 this^G5126 stone^G3037 shall be broken^G4917^(G5701): but^G1161 on^G1909 whomsoever^G3739^G302 it shall fall^G4098^(G5632), it will grind^G3039 him^G846 to powder^G3039^(G5692).

⁴⁵ When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.

KJVAnd^G2532 when the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 Pharisees^G5330 had heard^G191^(G5660) his^G846 parables^G3850, they perceived^G1097^(G5627) that^G3754 he spake^G3004^(G5719) of^G4012 them^G846.

⁴⁶ When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.

KJVBut^G2532 when they sought^G2212^(G5723) to lay hands^G2902^(G5658) on him^G846, they feared^G5399^(G5675) the multitude^G3793, because^G1894 they took^G2192^(G5707) him^G846 for^G5613 a prophet^G4396.

WEB·Matthew 20

¹“For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

KJVFor^G1063 the kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772 is^G2076^(G5748) like^G3664 unto a man^G444 that is an householder^G3617, which^G3748 went out^G1831^(G5627) early in the morning^G260^G4404 to hire^G3409^(G5670) labourers^G2040 into^G1519 his^G846 vineyard^G290.

² When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

KJVAnd^G1161 when he had agreed^G4856^(G5660) with^G3326 the labourers^G2040 for^G1537 a penny^G1220 a day^G2250, he sent^G649^(G5656) them^G846 into^G1519 his^G846 vineyard^G290.

³ He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.

KJVAnd^G2532 he went out^G1831^(G5631) about^G4012 the third^G5154 hour^G5610, and saw^G1492^(G5627) others^G243 standing^G2476^(G5761) idle^G692 in^G1722 the marketplace^G58,

⁴ He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.

KJVAnd said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G2548; Go^G5217^(G5720) ye^G5210 also^G2532 into^G1519 the vineyard^G290, and^G2532 whatsoever^G3739^G1437 is^G5600^(G5753) right^G1342 I will give^G1325^(G5692) you^G5213. And^G1161 they went their way^G565^(G5627).

⁵ Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.

KJVAgain^G3825 he went out^G1831^(G5631) about^G4012 the sixth^G1623 and^G2532 ninth^G1766 hour^G5610, and did^G4160^(G5656) likewise^G5615.

⁶ About the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’

KJVAnd^G1161 about^G4012 the eleventh^G1734 hour^G5610 he went out^G1831^(G5631), and found^G2147^(G5627) others^G243 standing^G2476^(G5761) idle^G692, and^G2532 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Why^G5101 stand ye^G2476^(G5758) here^G5602 all^G3650 the day^G2250 idle^G692?

⁷ “They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’

KJVThey say^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Because^G3754 no man^G3762 hath hired^G3409^(G5668) us^G2248. He saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Go^G5217^(G5720) ye^G5210 also^G2532 into^G1519 the vineyard^G290; and^G2532 whatsoever^G3739^G1437 is^G5600^(G5753) right^G1342, that shall ye receive^G2983^(G5695).

⁸ “When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.’

KJVSo^G1161 when even^G3798 was come^G1096^(G5637), the lord^G2962 of the vineyard^G290 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto his^G846 steward^G2012, Call^G2564^(G5657) the labourers^G2040, and^G2532 give^G591^(G5628) them^G846 their hire^G3408, beginning^G756^(G5671) from^G575 the last^G2078 unto^G2193 the first^G4413.

⁹ “When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they came^G2064^(G5631) that were hired about^G4012 the eleventh^G1734 hour^G5610, they received^G2983^(G5627) every man^G303 a penny^G1220.

¹⁰ When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.

KJVBut^G1161 when the first^G4413 came^G2064^(G5631), they supposed^G3543^(G5656) that^G3754 they should have received^G2983^(G5695) more^G4119; and^G2532 they likewise^G2532 received^G2983^(G5627) every man^G846^G303 a penny^G1220.

¹¹ When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,

KJVAnd^G1161 when they had received^G2983^(G5631) it, they murmured^G1111^(G5707) against^G2596 the goodman of the house^G3617,

¹² saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’

KJV^G3754 Saying^G3004^(G5723), These^G3778 last^G2078 have wrought^G4160^(G5656) but one^G3391 hour^G5610, and^G2532 thou hast made^G4160^(G5656) them^G846 equal^G2470 unto us^G2254, which^G3588 have borne^G941^(G5660) the burden^G922 and^G2532 heat^G2742 of the day^G2250.

¹³ “But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?

KJVBut^G1161 he answered^G611^(G5679) one^G1520 of them^G846, and said^G2036^(G5627), Friend^G2083, I do^G91 thee^G4571 no^G3756 wrong^G91^(G5719): didst^G4856 not^G3780 thou agree^G4856^(G5656) with me^G3427 for a penny^G1220?

¹⁴ Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.

KJVTake^G142^(G5657) that thine^G4674 is, and^G2532 go thy way^G5217^(G5720):^G1161 I will^G2309^(G5719) give^G1325^(G5629) unto this^G5129 last^G2078, even^G2532 as^G5613 unto thee^G4671.

¹⁵ Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’

KJV^G2228 Is it not^G3756 lawful^G1832^(G5748) for me^G3427 to do^G4160^(G5658) what^G3739 I will^G2309^(G5719) with^G1722 mine own^G1699?^G1487 Is^G2076^(G5748) thine^G4675 eye^G3788 evil^G4190, because^G3754 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) good^G18?

¹⁶ So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”

KJVSo^G3779 the last^G2078 shall be^G2071^(G5704) first^G4413, and^G2532 the first^G4413 last^G2078: for^G1063 many^G4183 be^G1526^(G5748) called^G2822, but^G1161 few^G3641 chosen^G1588.

¹⁷ As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 going up^G305^(G5723) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414 took^G3880^(G5627) the twelve^G1427 disciples^G3101 apart^G2596^G2398 in^G1722 the way^G3598, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846,

¹⁸ “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

KJVBehold^G2400^(G5628), we go up^G305^(G5719) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414; and^G2532 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 shall be betrayed^G3860^(G5701) unto the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 unto the scribes^G1122, and^G2532 they shall condemn^G2632^(G5692) him^G846 to death^G2288,

¹⁹ and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”

KJVAnd^G2532 shall deliver^G3860^(G5692) him^G846 to the Gentiles^G1484 to^G1519 mock^G1702^(G5658), and^G2532 to scourge^G3146^(G5658), and^G2532 to crucify^G4717^(G5658) him: and^G2532 the third^G5154 day^G2250 he shall rise again^G450^(G5698).

²⁰ Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.

KJVThen^G5119 came^G4334^(G5627) to him^G846 the mother^G3384 of Zebedee's^G2199 children^G5207 with^G3326 her^G846 sons^G5207, worshipping^G4352^(G5723) him, and^G2532 desiring^G154^(G5723) a certain^G5100 thing^G3844 of him^G846.

²¹ He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto her^G846, What^G5101 wilt thou^G2309^(G5719)? She saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Grant^G2036^(G5628) that^G2443 these^G3778 my^G3450 two^G1417 sons^G5207 may sit^G2523^(G5661), the one^G1520 on^G1537 thy^G4675 right hand^G1188, and^G2532 the other^G1520 on^G1537 the left^G2176, in^G1722 thy^G4675 kingdom^G932.

²² But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to him, “We are able.”

KJVBut^G1161 Jesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627), Ye know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756 what^G5101 ye ask^G154^(G5731). Are ye able^G1410^(G5736) to drink^G4095^(G5629) of the cup^G4221 that^G3739 I^G1473 shall^G3195^(G5719) drink of^G4095^(G5721), and^G2532 to be baptized^G907^(G5743) with the baptism^G908 that^G3739 I^G1473 am baptized with^G907^(G5683)? They say^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, We are able^G1410^(G5736).

²³ He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

KJVAnd^G2532 he saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Ye shall drink^G4095^(G5695) indeed^G3303 of my^G3450 cup^G4221, and^G2532 be baptized^G907^(G5743) with the baptism^G908 that^G3739 I^G1473 am baptized with^G907^(G5701): but^G1161 to sit^G2523^(G5658) on^G1537 my^G3450 right hand^G1188, and^G2532 on^G1537 my^G3450 left^G2176, is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 mine^G1699 to give^G1325^(G5629), but^G235 it shall be given to them for whom^G3739 it is prepared^G2090^(G5769) of^G5259 my^G3450 Father^G3962.

²⁴ When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

KJVAnd^G2532 when the ten^G1176 heard^G191^(G5660) it, they were moved with indignation^G23^(G5656) against^G4012 the two^G1417 brethren^G80.

²⁵ But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

KJVBut^G1161 Jesus^G2424 called^G4341^(G5666) them^G846 unto him, and said^G2036^(G5627), Ye know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 the princes^G758 of the Gentiles^G1484 exercise dominion over^G2634^(G5719) them^G846, and^G2532 they that are great^G3173 exercise authority upon^G2715^(G5719) them^G846.

²⁶ It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.

KJVBut^G1161 it shall^G2071 not^G3756 be^G2071^(G5704) so^G3779 among^G1722 you^G5213: but^G235 whosoever^G3739^G1437 will^G2309^(G5725) be^G1096^(G5635) great^G3173 among^G1722 you^G5213, let him be^G2077^(G5749) your^G5216 minister^G1249;

²⁷ Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,

KJVAnd^G2532 whosoever^G3739^G1437 will^G2309^(G5725) be^G1511^(G5750) chief^G4413 among^G1722 you^G5213, let him be^G2077^(G5749) your^G5216 servant^G1401:

²⁸ even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

KJVEven as^G5618 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 came^G2064^(G5627) not^G3756 to be ministered unto^G1247^(G5683), but^G235 to minister^G1247^(G5658), and^G2532 to give^G1325^(G5629) his^G846 life^G5590 a ransom^G3083 for^G473 many^G4183.

²⁹ As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

KJVAnd^G2532 as they^G846 departed^G1607^(G5740) from^G575 Jericho^G2410, a great^G4183 multitude^G3793 followed^G190^(G5656) him^G846.

³⁰ Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”

KJVAnd^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), two^G1417 blind men^G5185 sitting^G2521^(G5740) by the way^G3598 side^G3844, when they heard^G191^(G5660) that^G3754 Jesus^G2424 passed by^G3855^(G5719), cried out^G2896^(G5656), saying^G3004^(G5723), Have mercy^G1653^(G5657) on us^G2248, O Lord^G2962, thou Son^G5207 of David^G1138.

³¹ The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”

KJVAnd^G1161 the multitude^G3793 rebuked^G2008^(G5656) them^G846, because^G2443 they should hold their peace^G4623^(G5661): but^G1161 they cried^G2896^(G5707) the more^G3185, saying^G3004^(G5723), Have mercy^G1653^(G5657) on us^G2248, O Lord^G2962, thou Son^G5207 of David^G1138.

³² Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 stood still^G2476^(G5631), and called^G5455^(G5656) them^G846, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), What^G5101 will ye^G2309^(G5719) that I shall do^G4160^(G5661) unto you^G5213?

³³ They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”

KJVThey say^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Lord^G2962, that^G2443 our^G2257 eyes^G3788 may be opened^G455^(G5686).

³⁴ Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.

KJVSo^G1161 Jesus^G2424 had compassion^G4697^(G5679) on them, and touched^G680^(G5662) their^G846 eyes^G3788: and^G2532 immediately^G2112 their^G846 eyes^G3788 received sight^G308^(G5656), and^G2532 they followed^G190^(G5656) him^G846.
