And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Matt.20.2
They agreed on a wage of a dollar a day, and went to work.
Matt.20.2
He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
Matt.20.2
Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Matt.20.2
He agreed to pay the normal daily wage and sent them out to work.
Matt.20.3
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
Matt.20.3
"Later, about nine o'clock, the manager saw some other men hanging around the town square unemployed.
Matt.20.3
"About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.
Matt.20.3
And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
Matt.20.3
"At nine o'clock in the morning he was passing through the marketplace and saw some people standing around doing nothing.
Matt.20.4
And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
Matt.20.4
He told them to go to work in his vineyard and he would pay them a fair wage.
Matt.20.4
He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.'
Matt.20.4
and said to them, "You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.
Matt.20.4
So he hired them, telling them he would pay them whatever was right at the end of the day.
Matt.20.5
Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
Matt.20.5
They went. "He did the same thing at noon, and again at three o'clock.
Matt.20.5
So they went.
Matt.20.5
Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
Matt.20.5
At noon and again around three o'clock he did the same thing.
Matt.20.6
And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
Matt.20.6
At five o'clock he went back and found still others standing around. He said, "Why are you standing around all day doing nothing?
Matt.20.6
"He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?'
Matt.20.6
And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, "Why have you been standing here idle all day?'
Matt.20.6
At five o'clock that evening he was in town again and saw some more people standing around. He asked them, 'Why haven't you been working today?'
Matt.20.7
They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
Matt.20.7
'"They said, "Because no one hired us.'"He told them to go to work in his vineyard.
Matt.20.7
"'Because no one has hired us,' they answered. "He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.'
Matt.20.7
They said to him, "Because no one hired us.' He said to them, "You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'
Matt.20.7
"They replied, 'Because no one hired us.'"The owner of the estate told them, 'Then go on out and join the others in my vineyard.'
Matt.20.8
So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
Matt.20.8
"When the day's work was over, the owner of the vineyard instructed his foreman, "Call the workers in and pay them their wages. Start with the last hired and go on to the first.'
Matt.20.8
"When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.'
Matt.20.8
"So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, "Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.'
Matt.20.8
"That evening he told the foreman to call the workers in and pay them, beginning with the last workers first.
Matt.20.9
And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
Matt.20.9
"Those hired at five o'clock came up and were each given a dollar.
Matt.20.9
"The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius.
Matt.20.9
And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.
Matt.20.9
When those hired at five o'clock were paid, each received a full day's wage.
Matt.20.10
But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
Matt.20.10
When those who were hired first saw that, they assumed they would get far more. But they got the same, each of them one dollar.
Matt.20.10
So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius.
Matt.20.10
But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.
Matt.20.10
When those hired earlier came to get their pay, they assumed they would receive more. But they, too, were paid a day's wage.
Matt.20.11
And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
Matt.20.11
Taking the dollar, they groused angrily to the manager,
Matt.20.11
When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner.
Matt.20.11
And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,
Matt.20.11
When they received their pay, they protested,
Matt.20.12
Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
Matt.20.12
"These last workers put in only one easy hour, and you just made them equal to us, who slaved all day under a scorching sun.'
Matt.20.12
'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.'
Matt.20.12
saying, "These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.'
Matt.20.12
'Those people worked only one hour, and yet you've paid them just as much as you paid us who worked all day in the scorching heat.'
Matt.20.13
But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
Matt.20.13
"He replied to the one speaking for the rest, "Friend, I haven't been unfair. We agreed on the wage of a dollar, didn't we?
Matt.20.13
"But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius?
Matt.20.13
But he answered one of them and said, "Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
Matt.20.13
"He answered one of them, 'Friend, I haven't been unfair! Didn't you agree to work all day for the usual wage?
Matt.20.14
Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
Matt.20.14
So take it and go. I decided to give to the one who came last the same as you.
Matt.20.14
Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you.
Matt.20.14
Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.
Matt.20.14
Take it and go. I wanted to pay this last worker the same as you.
Matt.20.15
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
Matt.20.15
Can't I do what I want with my own money? Are you going to get stingy because I am generous?'
Matt.20.15
Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'
Matt.20.15
Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?'
Matt.20.15
Is it against the law for me to do what I want with my money? Should you be angry because I am kind?'
Matt.20.16
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
Matt.20.16
"Here it is again, the Great Reversal: many of the first ending up last, and the last first."
Matt.20.16
"So the last will be first, and the first will be last."
Matt.20.16
So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen."
Matt.20.16
"And so it is, that many who are first now will be last then; and those who are last now will be first then."
Matt.20.17
And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
Matt.20.17
Jesus, now well on the way up to Jerusalem, took the Twelve off to the side of the road and said,
Matt.20.17
Now as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and said to them,
Matt.20.17
Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them,
Matt.20.17
As Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside privately and told them what was going to happen to him.
Matt.20.18
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
Matt.20.18
"Listen to me carefully. We are on our way up to Jerusalem. When we get there, the Son of Man will be betrayed to the religious leaders and scholars. They will sentence him to death.

And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
Matt.20.19
They will then hand him over to the Romans for mockery and torture and crucifixion. On the third day he will be raised up alive."
Matt.20.19
and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!"
Matt.20.19
and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again."
Matt.20.19
Then they will hand him over to the Romans to be mocked, whipped, and crucified. But on the third day he will be raised from the dead."
Matt.20.20
Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
Matt.20.20
It was about that time that the mother of the Zebedee brothers came with her two sons and knelt before Jesus with a request.
Matt.20.20
Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.
Matt.20.20
Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.
Matt.20.20
Then the mother of James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus with her sons. She knelt respectfully to ask a favor.
Matt.20.21
And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
Matt.20.21
"What do you want?" Jesus asked. She said, "Give your word that these two sons of mine will be awarded the highest places of honor in your kingdom, one at your right hand, one at your left hand."
Matt.20.21
"What is it you want?" he asked. She said, "Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom."
Matt.20.21
And He said to her, "What do you wish?" She said to Him, "Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom."
Matt.20.21
"What is your request?" he asked. She replied, "In your Kingdom, will you let my two sons sit in places of honor next to you, one at your right and the other at your left?"
Matt.20.22
But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
Matt.20.22
Jesus responded, "You have no idea what you're asking." And he said to James and John, "Are you capable of drinking the cup that I'm about to drink?" They said, "Sure, why not?"
Matt.20.22
"You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said to them. "Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?We can," they answered.
Matt.20.22
But Jesus answered and said, "You do not know what you ask. 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."
Matt.20.22
But Jesus told them, "You don't know what you are asking! Are you able to drink from the bitter cup of sorrow I am about to drink?Oh yes," they replied, "we are able!"
Matt.20.23
And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
Matt.20.23
Jesus said, "Come to think of it, you are going to drink my cup. But as to awarding places of honor, that's not my business. My Father is taking care of that."
Matt.20.23
Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father."
Matt.20.23
So 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 is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father."
Matt.20.23
"You will indeed drink from it," he told them. "But I have no right to say who will sit on the thrones next to mine. My Father has prepared those places for the ones he has chosen."
Matt.20.24

Matt.20.25
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
Matt.20.25
So Jesus got them together to settle things down. He said, "You've observed how godless rulers throw their weight around, how quickly a little power goes to their heads.
Matt.20.25
Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.
Matt.20.25
But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.
Matt.20.25
But Jesus called them together and said, "You know that in this world kings are tyrants, and officials lord it over the people beneath them.
Matt.20.26
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
Matt.20.26
It's not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant.
Matt.20.26
Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
Matt.20.26
Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.
Matt.20.26
But among you it should be quite different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant,
Matt.20.27
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
Matt.20.27
Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave.
Matt.20.27
and whoever wants to be first must be your slave--
Matt.20.27
And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave--
Matt.20.27
and whoever wants to be first must become your slave.
Matt.20.28
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Matt.20.28
That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not be served--and then to give away his life in exchange for the many who are held hostage." [JC]
Matt.20.28
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Matt.20.28
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."
Matt.20.28
For even I, the Son of Man, came here not to be served but to serve others, and to give my life as a ransom for many."
Matt.20.29
And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Matt.20.29
As they were leaving Jericho, a huge crowd followed.
Matt.20.29
As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him.
Matt.20.29
Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.
Matt.20.29
As Jesus and the disciples left the city of Jericho, a huge crowd followed behind.
Matt.20.30
And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
Matt.20.30
Suddenly they came upon two blind men sitting alongside the road. When they heard it was Jesus passing, they cried out, "Master, have mercy on us! Mercy, Son of David!"
Matt.20.30
Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"

Matt.20.31
And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
Matt.20.31
The crowd tried to hush them up, but they got all the louder, crying, "Master, have mercy on us! Mercy, Son of David!"
Matt.20.31
The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
Matt.20.31
Then the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, "Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!"
Matt.20.31
The crowd told them to be quiet, but they only shouted louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
Matt.20.32
And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
Matt.20.32
Jesus stopped and called over, "What do you want from me?"
Matt.20.32
Jesus stopped and called them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.
Matt.20.32
So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?"
Matt.20.32
Jesus stopped in the road and called, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Matt.20.33
They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Matt.20.33
They said, "Master, we want our eyes opened. We want to see!"
Matt.20.33
"Lord," they answered, "we want our sight."
Matt.20.33
They said to Him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened."
Matt.20.33
"Lord," they said, "we want to see!"
Matt.20.34
So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
Matt.20.34
Deeply moved, Jesus touched their eyes. They had their sight back that very instant, and joined the procession.
Matt.20.34
Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
Matt.20.34
So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.
Matt.20.34
Jesus felt sorry for them and touched their eyes. Instantly they could see! Then they followed him.
