Revised Literal Translation

1ForG1063 the kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772 isG1510 likeG3664 unto a manG444 that is an householderG3617, whichG3748 went outG1831 earlyG260 in the morningG4404 to hireG3409 labourersG2040 intoG1519 hisG846 vineyardG3588G290. 2AndG1161 when he had agreedG4856 withG3326 the labourersG3588G2040 forG1537 a pennyG1220 a dayG3588G2250, he sentG649 themG846 intoG1519 hisG846 vineyardG3588G290. 3AndG2532 he went outG1831 aboutG4012 theG5610 thirdG5154 hourG5610, and sawG3708 othersG243 standingG2476 idleG692 inG1722 the marketplaceG3588G58, 4AndG2548 said unto themG3004; GoG5217 yeG4771 alsoG2532 intoG1519 the vineyardG3588G290, andG2532 whatsoeverG3739G1437 isG1510 rightG1342 I will giveG1325 youG4771. AndG1161 they went their wayG3588G565. 5AgainG3825 he went outG1831 aboutG4012 theG5610 sixthG1623 andG2532 ninthG1766 hourG5610, and didG4160 likewiseG5615. 6AndG1161 aboutG4012 theG5610 eleventhG1734 hourG5610 he went outG1831, and foundG2147 othersG243 standingG2476 idleG692, andG2532 saithG3004 unto themG846, WhyG5101 stand yeG2476 hereG5602 allG3650 the dayG3588G2250 idleG692? 7They sayG3004 unto himG846, BecauseG3754 no manG3762 hath hiredG3409 usG1473. He saithG3004 unto themG846, GoG5217 yeG4771 alsoG2532 intoG1519 the vineyardG3588G290; andG2532 whatsoeverG3739 isG1510 rightG1342, that shall ye receiveG2983. 8SoG1161 whenG1096 evenG3798 was comeG1096, the lordG3588G2962 of the vineyardG3588G290 saithG3004 untoG3588G2012 hisG846 stewardG3588G2012, CallG2564 the labourersG3588G2040, andG2532 giveG591 themG846 their hireG3588G3408, beginningG756 fromG575 the lastG2078 untoG2193 the firstG4413. 9AndG2532 when they cameG2064 thatG3588 were hired aboutG4012 theG5610 eleventhG1734 hourG5610, they receivedG2983 every manG303 a pennyG1220. 10ButG1161 whenG2064 the firstG4413 cameG2064, they supposedG3543 thatG3754 they should have receivedG2983 moreG4119; andG2532 theyG846 likewiseG2532 receivedG2983 every manG303 a pennyG1220. 11AndG1161 when they had receivedG2983 it, they murmuredG1111 againstG2596 the goodman of the houseG3588G3617, 12SayingG3004, TheseG3778 lastG2078 have wroughtG4160 but oneG1520 hourG5610, andG2532 thou hast madeG4160 themG846 equalG2470 unto usG1473, which have borneG941 the burdenG3588G922 andG2532 heatG3588G2742 of the dayG3588G2250. 13ButG1161 he answeredG611 oneG1520 of themG846, and saidG3004, FriendG2083, I doG91 theeG4771 noG3756 wrongG91: didstG4856 notG3780 thou agreeG4856 with meG1473 for a pennyG1220? 14TakeG142 that thineG4674 is, andG2532 go thy wayG5217: I willG2309 giveG1325 untoG2078 thisG3778 lastG2078, evenG2532 asG5613 unto theeG4771. 15Is itG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for meG1473 to doG4160 whatG3739 I willG2309 withG1722 mine ownG1699? IsG1510 thineG4771 eyeG3588G3788 evilG4190, becauseG3754 IG1473 amG1510 goodG18? 16SoG3779 the lastG2078 shall beG1510 firstG4413, andG2532 the firstG4413 lastG2078: forG1063 manyG4183 beG1510 calledG2822, butG1161 fewG3641 chosenG1588. 17

AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 going upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414 tookG3880 the twelveG1427 disciplesG3101 apartG2398 inG1722 the wayG3588G3598, andG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, 18BeholdG3708, we go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414; andG2532 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 shall be betrayedG3860 unto the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 unto the scribesG1122, andG2532 they shall condemnG2632 himG846 to deathG2288, 19AndG2532 shall deliverG3860 himG846 to the GentilesG3588G1484 toG1519 mockG1702, andG2532 to scourgeG3146, andG2532 to crucifyG4717 him: andG2532 theG2250 thirdG5154 dayG2250 he shall rise againG450.

20ThenG5119 cameG4334 to himG846 the motherG3588G3384 ofG3588G5207 Zebedee’sG2199 childrenG3588G5207 withG3326 herG846 sonsG3588G5207, worshippingG4352 him, andG2532 desiringG154 a certain thingG5100 ofG3844 himG846. 21AndG1161 he saidG3004 unto herG846, WhatG5101 wilt thouG2309? She saithG3004 unto himG846, GrantG3004 thatG2443 theseG3778 myG1473 twoG1417 sonsG5207 may sitG2523, the oneG1520 onG1537 thyG4771 right handG1188, andG2532 the otherG1520 onG1537 the leftG2176, inG1722 thyG4771 kingdomG3588G932. 22ButG1161 JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, Ye knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 ye askG154. Are ye ableG1410 to drinkG4095 of the cupG3588G4221 thatG3739 IG1473 shallG3195 drink ofG4095, andG2532 to be baptizedG907 with the baptismG3588G908 thatG3739 IG1473 am baptized withG907? They sayG3004 unto himG846, We are ableG1410. 23AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto themG846, Ye shall drinkG4095 indeedG3303 ofG4221 myG1473 cupG4221, andG2532 be baptizedG907 with the baptismG3588G908 thatG3739 IG1473 am baptized withG907: butG1161 to sitG2523 onG1537 myG1473 right handG1188, andG2532 onG1537 myG1473 leftG2176, isG1510 notG3756 mineG1699 to giveG1325, butG235 it shall be given to them for whomG3739 it is preparedG2090 ofG5259 myG1473 FatherG3588G3962. 24AndG2532 whenG191 the tenG1176 heardG191 it, they were moved with indignationG23 againstG4012 the twoG1417 brethrenG80. 25ButG1161 JesusG2424 calledG4341 themG846 unto him, and saidG3004, Ye knowG1492 thatG3754 the princesG3588G758 of the GentilesG3588G1484 exercise dominion overG2634 themG846, andG2532 they that are greatG3173 exercise authority uponG2715 themG846. 26ButG1161 it shallG1510 notG3756 beG1510 soG3779 amongG1722 youG4771: butG235 whosoeverG3739 will beG2309 greatG3173 amongG1722 youG4771, let himG1096 beG1510 yourG4771 ministerG1249; 27AndG2532 whosoeverG3739 willG2309 beG1510 chiefG4413 amongG1722 youG4771, let him beG1510 yourG4771 servantG1401: 28Even asG5618 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 cameG2064 notG3756 to be ministered untoG1247, butG235 to ministerG1247, andG2532 to giveG1325 hisG846 lifeG3588G5590 a ransomG3083 forG473 manyG4183. 29AndG2532 asG1607 theyG846 departedG1607 fromG575 JerichoG2410, aG3793 greatG4183 multitudeG3793 followedG190 himG846.

30AndG2532, beholdG3708, twoG1417 blind menG5185 sittingG2521 byG3844 the way sideG3588G3598, when they heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG2424 passed byG3855, cried outG2896, sayingG3004, Have mercy onG1653 usG1473, O LordG2962, thou SonG5207 of DavidG1138. 31AndG1161 the multitudeG3793 rebukedG2008 themG846, becauseG2443 they should hold their peaceG4623: butG1161 they criedG2896 the moreG3173, sayingG3004, Have mercy onG1653 usG1473, O LordG2962, thou SonG5207 of DavidG1138. 32AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 stood stillG2476, and calledG5455 themG846, andG2532 saidG3004, WhatG5101 will yeG2309 that I shall doG4160 unto youG4771? 33They sayG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, thatG2443 ourG1473 eyesG3588G3788 may be openedG455. 34SoG1161 JesusG3588G2424 had compassionG4697 on them, and touchedG680 theirG846 eyesG3588G3788: andG2532 immediatelyG2112 theirG846 eyesG3588G3788 received sightG308, andG2532 they followedG190 himG846.
