Darby Bible

1For the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 isG1510 like a householder who wentG1831 out with the earlyG4404 morn to hire workmenG2040 for his vineyardG290. 2And having agreedG4856 with the workmenG2040 for a denariusG1220 the dayG2250, he sentG649 them into his vineyardG290. 3And having goneG1831 out about [the] thirdG5154 hourG5610, he sawG3708 othersG243 standingG2476 in the market-place idleG692; 4and to them he saidG3004, GoG5217 alsoG2532 ye into the vineyardG290, and whatsoever may beG1510 justG1342 I will giveG1325 you. And they wentG5217 their way. 5AgainG3825, having goneG1831 out about the sixthG1623 and ninth hourG5610, he did likewiseG5615. 6But about the eleventhG1734 [hour], having goneG1831 out, he foundG2147 othersG243 standingG2476, and saysG3004 to them, WhyG5101 standG2476 ye hereG5602 all the dayG2250 idleG692? 7They sayG3004 to him, Because no man has hired us. He saysG3004 to them, GoG5217 alsoG2532 ye into the vineyardG290 [and whatsoever may be just ye shall receive]. 8But when the eveningG3798 was comeG1096, the lordG2962 of the vineyardG290 saysG3004 to his steward, CallG2564 the workmenG2040 and payG591 [them] their wagesG3408, beginningG757 from the lastG2078 evenG2532 to the firstG4413. 9And when they [who cameG2064 to work] about the eleventhG1734 hourG5610 cameG2064, they receivedG2983 each a denariusG1220. 10And when the firstG4413 cameG2064, they supposed that they would receiveG2983 moreG4183, and they receivedG2983 alsoG2532 themselves each a denariusG1220. 11And on receivingG2983 it they murmured against the master of the houseG3617, 12sayingG3004, These lastG2078 have worked oneG1520 hourG5610, and thou hast madeG4160 them equalG2470 to us, who have borneG941 the burdenG922 of the dayG2250 and the heatG2742. 13But he answeringG611 saidG3004 to oneG1520 of them, [My] friendG2083, I do not wrongG91 thee. Didst thou not agreeG4856 with me for a denariusG1220? 14TakeG142 what is thine and goG5217. But it is my will to giveG1325 to this lastG2078 evenG2532 as to thee: 15isG1510 it not lawfulG1832 for me to do what I will in my own affairs? IsG1510 thine eyeG3788 evilG4190 because I amG1510 goodG18? 16ThusG3779 shall the lastG2078 beG1510 firstG4413, and the firstG4413 lastG2078; for many areG1510 called ones, but few chosen ones. 17And JesusG2424, goingG305 up to JerusalemG2414, tookG3880 the twelveG1427 disciplesG3101 with [him] apart in the wayG3598, and saidG3004 to them, 18BeholdG2400 we goG305 up to JerusalemG2414, and the SonG5207 of manG444 will be deliveredG3860 up to the chiefG749 priestsG749 and scribesG1122, and they will condemnG2632 him to deathG2288; 19and they will deliverG3860 him up to the nationsG1484 to mockG1702 and to scourge and to crucifyG4717, and the thirdG5154 dayG2250 he shall riseG1453 againG1453. 20Then cameG4334 to him the motherG3384 of the sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199, with her sonsG5207, doing homage, and askingG154 somethingG5100 of him. 21And he saidG3004 to her, What wilt thou? She saysG3004 to him, SpeakG3004 [the word] that these my twoG1417 sonsG5207 may sitG2523, oneG1520 on thy rightG1188 handG1188 and oneG1520 on thy left in thy kingdomG932. 22And JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG3004, Ye know not what ye askG154. Can ye drinkG4095 the cupG4221 which I am about to drinkG4095? They sayG3004 to him, We are ableG1410. 23[And] he saysG3004 to them, Ye shall drinkG4095 indeed my cupG4221, but to sitG2523 on my rightG1188 handG1188 and on [my] left, isG1510 not mine to giveG1325, but to those for whom it isG1510 preparedG2090 of my FatherG3962. 24And the tenG1176, having heardG191 [of it], were indignantG23 about the twoG1417 brothersG80. 25But JesusG2424 having called them to [him], saidG3004, Ye know that the rulersG758 of the nationsG1484 exerciseG2715 lordship over them, and the greatG3173 exerciseG2715 authorityG2715 over them. 26It shall not beG1510 thusG3779 amongst you, but whosoever will beG1510 greatG3173 among you, shall beG1510 your servantG1249; 27and whosoever will beG1510 firstG4413 among you, let him beG1510 your bondman; 28as indeed the SonG5207 of manG444 did not comeG2064 to be servedG1247, but to serveG1247, and to giveG1325 his lifeG5590 a ransomG3083 for manyG4183. 29And as they wentG1607 out from JerichoG2410 a greatG4183 crowdG3793 followedG190 him. 30And lo, twoG1417 blindG5185 menG5185, sittingG2521 by the wayside, having heardG191 that JesusG2424 was passing by, criedG2896 out sayingG3004, Have mercyG1653 on us, LordG2962, SonG5207 of DavidG1138. 31But the crowdG3793 rebukedG2008 them, that they might be silentG4623. But they criedG2896 out the more, sayingG3004, Have mercyG1653 on us, LordG2962, SonG5207 of DavidG1138. 32And JesusG2424, having stopped, called them and saidG3004, What will ye that I shall do to you? 33They sayG3004 to him, LordG2962, that our eyesG3788 may be openedG455. 34And JesusG2424, moved with compassionG4697, touchedG681 their eyesG3659; and immediatelyG2112 their eyesG3659 had sightG308 restored to them, and they followedG190 him.
