- 1For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.Ὁμοία γάρ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδεσπότῃ ὅστις ἐξῆλθεν ἅμα πρωῒ ἐργάτας εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα αὐτοῦ
- 2And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.⸂συμφωνήσας δὲ⸃ μετὰ τῶν ἐργατῶν ἐκ δηναρίου τὴν ἡμέραν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα αὐτοῦ
- 3And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,καὶ ἐξελθὼν περὶ τρίτην ὥραν εἶδεν ἄλλους ἑστῶτας ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ ἀργούς
- 4And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.καὶ ἐκείνοις εἶπεν Ὑπάγετε καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα καὶ ὃ ἐὰν ᾖ δίκαιον δώσω ὑμῖν
- 5Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.οἱ δὲ ἀπῆλθον ⸀πάλιν ἐξελθὼν περὶ ἕκτην καὶ ὥραν ἐποίησεν ὡσαύτως
- 6And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?περὶ δὲ τὴν ⸀ἑνδεκάτην ἐξελθὼν εὗρεν ἄλλους ⸀ἑστῶτας καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς Τί ὧδε ἑστήκατε ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἀργοί
- 7They 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.λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἡμᾶς λέγει αὐτοῖς Ὑπάγετε καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν ⸀ἀμπελῶνα
- 8So 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.δὲ γενομένης λέγει ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος τῷ ἐπιτρόπῳ αὐτοῦ Κάλεσον τοὺς ἐργάτας καὶ ἀπόδος ⸀αὐτοῖς τὸν μισθὸν ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῶν ἐσχάτων ἕως τῶν πρώτων
- 9And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.⸂καὶ ἐλθόντες⸃ οἱ περὶ τὴν ἑνδεκάτην ὥραν ἔλαβον ἀνὰ δηνάριον
- 10But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.⸂καὶ ἐλθόντες⸃ οἱ πρῶτοι ἐνόμισαν ὅτι ⸀πλεῖον λήμψονται καὶ ἔλαβον ⸂τὸ ἀνὰ δηνάριον καὶ αὐτοί⸃
- 11And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,λαβόντες δὲ ἐγόγγυζον κατὰ τοῦ οἰκοδεσπότου
- 12Saying, 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.⸀λέγοντες Οὗτοι οἱ ἔσχατοι μίαν ὥραν ἐποίησαν καὶ ἴσους ⸂αὐτοὺς ἡμῖν⸃ ἐποίησας τοῖς βαστάσασι τὸ βάρος τῆς ἡμέρας καὶ τὸν καύσωνα
- 13But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς ⸂ἑνὶ αὐτῶν εἶπεν⸃ Ἑταῖρε οὐκ ἀδικῶ σε οὐχὶ δηναρίου συνεφώνησάς μοι
- 14Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.ἆρον τὸ σὸν καὶ ὕπαγε θέλω δὲ τούτῳ τῷ ἐσχάτῳ δοῦναι ὡς καὶ σοί
- 15Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?⸀οὐκ μοι ⸂ὃ θέλω ποιῆσαι⸃ ἐν τοῖς ἐμοῖς ⸀ἢ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου πονηρός ἐστιν ὅτι ἐγὼ ἀγαθός εἰμι
- 16So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.ἔσονται οἱ ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ πρῶτοι ⸀ἔσχατοι
- 17And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,⸂Καὶ ἀναβαίνων ὁ⸃ Ἰησοῦς εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα παρέλαβεν τοὺς δώδεκα ⸀μαθητὰς κατ’ ἰδίαν ⸂καὶ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ⸃ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς
- 18Behold, 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,Ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδοθήσεται τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καὶ γραμματεῦσιν καὶ κατακρινοῦσιν αὐτὸν θανάτῳ
- 19And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.καὶ παραδώσουσιν αὐτὸν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν εἰς τὸ ἐμπαῖξαι καὶ μαστιγῶσαι καὶ σταυρῶσαι καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ⸀ἐγερθήσεται
- 20Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.Τότε προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ τῶν υἱῶν Ζεβεδαίου μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῆς προσκυνοῦσα καὶ αἰτοῦσά ⸀παρ’ αὐτοῦ
- 21And 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.ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Τί θέλεις λέγει αὐτῷ Εἰπὲ ἵνα καθίσωσιν οὗτοι οἱ δύο υἱοί μου εἷς ἐκ δεξιῶν ⸀σου καὶ εἷς ἐξ εὐωνύμων σου ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ σου
- 22But 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.ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν Οὐκ τί αἰτεῖσθε δύνασθε πιεῖν τὸ ποτήριον ὃ ἐγὼ μέλλω ⸀πίνειν λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Δυνάμεθα
- 23And 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.⸀λέγει αὐτοῖς Τὸ μὲν ποτήριόν μου ⸀πίεσθε τὸ δὲ καθίσαι ἐκ δεξιῶν μου καὶ ἐξ ⸀εὐωνύμων οὐκ ἔστιν ⸀ἐμὸν δοῦναι ἀλλ’ οἷς ἡτοίμασται ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρός μου
- 24And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.Καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ δέκα ἠγανάκτησαν περὶ τῶν δύο ἀδελφῶν
- 25But 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.ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτοὺς εἶπεν ὅτι οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἐθνῶν κατακυριεύουσιν αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ μεγάλοι κατεξουσιάζουσιν αὐτῶν
- 26But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;οὐχ ⸀ἔσται ἐν ὑμῖν ἀλλ’ ὃς ⸀ἂν θέλῃ ἐν ὑμῖν μέγας γενέσθαι ἔσται ὑμῶν διάκονος
- 27And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:καὶ ὃς ⸀ἂν θέλῃ ἐν ὑμῖν εἶναι πρῶτος ⸀ἔσται ὑμῶν δοῦλος
- 28Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.ὥσπερ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἦλθεν διακονηθῆναι ἀλλὰ διακονῆσαι καὶ δοῦναι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ λύτρον ἀντὶ πολλῶν
- 29And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.Καὶ ἐκπορευομένων αὐτῶν ἀπὸ ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ ὄχλος πολύς
- 30And, 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.καὶ ἰδοὺ δύο τυφλοὶ καθήμενοι παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν ἀκούσαντες ὅτι Ἰησοῦς παράγει ἔκραξαν λέγοντες ⸂Κύριε ἡμᾶς⸃ ⸀υἱὸς
- 31And 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.ὁ δὲ ὄχλος ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα σιωπήσωσιν οἱ δὲ μεῖζον ⸀ἔκραξαν λέγοντες ⸂Κύριε ἡμᾶς⸃ ⸀υἱὸς
- 32And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?καὶ στὰς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐφώνησεν αὐτοὺς καὶ εἶπεν Τί θέλετε ποιήσω ὑμῖν
- 33They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Κύριε ἵνα ⸂ἀνοιγῶσιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν⸃
- 34So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.σπλαγχνισθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἥψατο τῶν ⸀ὀμμάτων αὐτῶν καὶ εὐθέως ⸀ἀνέβλεψαν καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ
