| The Book of Matthew 20 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Douay-Rheims Version Online Bible (DRV) | ||||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:1 | The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:2 | And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:3 | And going about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place idle. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:4 | And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:5 | And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:6 | But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle? | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:7 | They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go you also into my vineyard. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:8 | And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:9 | When therefore they were come, that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:10 | But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: and they also received every man a penny. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:11 | And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house, | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:12 | Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:13 | But he answering said to one of them: Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny? | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:14 | Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:15 | Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good? | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:16 | So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:17 | And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them: | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:18 | Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:19 | And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified, and the third day he shall rise again. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:20 | Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:21 | Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:22 | And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:23 | He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:24 | And the ten hearing it, were moved with indignation against the two brethren. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:25 | But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that are the greater, exercise power upon them. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:26 | It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister: | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:27 | And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:28 | Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:29 | And when they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:30 | And behold two blind men sitting by the way side, heard that Jesus passed by, and they cried out, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:31 | And the multitude rebuked them that they should hold their peace. But they cried out the more, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:32 | And Jesus stood, and called them, and said: What will ye that I do to you? | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:33 | They say to him: Lord, that our eyes be opened. | |||||||||||||||
| Matthew 20:34 | And Jesus having compassion on them, touched their eyes. And immediately they saw, and followed him. | |||||||||||||||
