Matthew 20

1 Christ, by the similitude of the labourers in the vineyard, sheweth that God is debtor unto no man: 17 foretelleth his passion: 20 by answering the mother of Zebedee's children, teacheth his disciples to be lowly: 30 and giveth two blind men their sight.

 20:1 ¶ For 1063 the x3588 kingdome 932 of heauen 3772 is 2076 z5748 like y3664 vnto x3664 a man 444 that is an housholder, 3617 which 3748 went out 1831 z5627 early in the morning 260 4404 to hire 3409 z5670 labourers 2040 into 1519 his y846 x848 vineyard. 290

 20:2 And 1161 when hee had agreed 4856 z5660 with 3326 the x3588 labourers 2040 for 1537 a peny 1220 a day, 2250 he sent 649 z5656 them 846 into 1519 his y846 x848 vineyard. 290

 20:3 And 2532 he went out 1831 z5631 about 4012 the x3588 third 5154 houre, 5610 and saw 1492 z5627 others 243 standing 2476 z5761 idle 692 in 1722 the x3588 market place, 58

 20:4 And said y2036 z5627 vnto them, 2548 x2036 Go 5217 z5720 ye 5210 also 2532 into 1519 the x3588 vineyard, 290 & 2532 whatsoeuer 3739 1437 is 5600 z5753 right, 1342 I wil giue 1325 z5692 you. 5213 And 1161 they x3588 went their way. 565 z5627

 20:5 Againe 3825 he went out 1831 z5631 about 4012 the sixth 1623 and 2532 ninth 1766 houre, 5610 and did 4160 z5656 likewise. 5615

 20:6 And 1161 about 4012 the x3588 eleuenth 1734 houre, 5610 he went out, 1831 z5631 and found 2147 z5627 others 243 standing 2476 z5761 idle, 692 and 2532 saith 3004 z5719 vnto them, 846 Why 5101 stand x2476 ye y2476 z5758 here 5602 all 3650 the x3588 day 2250 idle? 692

 20:7 They say 3004 z5719 vnto him, 846 Because 3754 no man 3762 hath hired 3409 z5668 vs. 2248 He saith 3004 z5719 vnto them, 846 Go 5217 z5720 ye 5210 also 2532 into 1519 the x3588 vineyard: 290 and 2532 whatsoeuer 3739 1437 is 5600 z5753 right, 1342 that shall ye receiue. 2983 z5695

 20:8 So 1161 when euen 3798 was come, 1096 z5637 the x3588 lord 2962 of the x3588 vineyard 290 saith y3004 z5719 vnto his y846 x848 Steward, 2012 Call 2564 z5657 the x3588 labourers, 2040 and 2532 giue 591 z5628 them 846 their hire, 3408 beginning 756 z5671 from 575 the x3588 last, 2078 vnto 2193 the x3588 first. 4413

 20:9 And 2532 when they came 2064 z5631 that x3588 [were hired] about 4012 the x3588 eleuenth 1734 houre, 5610 they receiued 2983 z5627 euery man 303 a penie. 1220

 20:10 But 1161 when the x3588 first 4413 came, 2064 z5631 they supposed 3543 z5656 that 3754 they should haue receiued 2983 z5695 more, 4119 and 2532 they x846 likewise 2532 receiued 2983 z5627 euery man 303 y846 a penie. 1220

 20:11 And 1161 when they had receiued 2983 z5631 it, they murmured 1111 z5707 against 2596 the x3588 good man of the house, 3617

 20:12 y3754 Saying, 3004 z5723 These 3778 last 2078 haue wrought 4160 z5656 [but] one 3391 houre, 5610 and 2532 thou hast made 4160 z5656 them 846 equall 2470 vnto vs, 2254 which y3588 haue borne 941 z5660 the x3588 burden, 922 and 2532 heat 2742 of the x3588 day. 2250

 20:13 But 1161 he x3588 answered 611 z5679 one 1520 of them 846 and said, 2036 z5627 Friend, 2083 I do y91 z0 thee y4571 no y3756 wrong: 91 z5719 x4571 x3756 didst y4856 z0 not 3780 thou agree 4856 z5656 with me 3427 for a penie? 1220

 20:14 Take 142 z5657 that thine 4674 is, and 2532 goe thy way, 5217 z5720 y1161 I x1161 will 2309 z5719 giue 1325 z5629 vnto this 5129 last, 2078 euen 2532 as 5613 vnto thee. 4671

 20:15 y2228 Is it not y3756 lawfull 1832 z5748 x3756 for mee 3427 to doe 4160 z5658 what 3739 I wil 2309 z5719 z5725 with 1722 mine owne? 1699 1487 Is 2076 z5748 thine 4675 eye 3788 euill, 4190 because 3754 I 1473 am 1510 z5748 good? 18

 20:16 So 3779 the x3588 last 2078 shall be 2071 z5704 first, 4413 and 2532 the x3588 first 4413 last: 2078 for 1063 many 4183 bee 1526 z5748 called, 2822 but 1161 fewe 3641 chosen. 1588

 20:17 ¶ And 2532 Iesus 2424 going vp 305 z5723 to 1519 Hierusalem, 2414 tooke 3880 z5627 the x3588 twelue 1427 disciples 3101 apart 2596 2398 in 1722 the x3588 way, 3598 and 2532 said 2036 z5627 vnto them, 846

 20:18 Behold, 2400 z5628 we goe vp 305 z5719 to 1519 Hierusalem, 2414 and 2532 the x3588 Sonne 5207 of man 444 shall be betraied 3860 z5701 vnto the x3588 chiefe Priests, 749 and 2532 vnto the Scribes, 1122 and 2532 they shall condemne 2632 z5692 him 846 to death, 2288

 20:19 And 2532 shal deliuer 3860 z5692 him 846 to the x3588 Gentiles 1484 to y1519 mocke, 1702 z5658 and 2532 to scourge, 3146 z5658 and 2532 to crucifie 4717 z5658 him: and 2532 the x3588 third 5154 day 2250 he shall rise againe. 450 z5698

 20:20 ¶ Then 5119 came 4334 z5627 to him 846 the x3588 mother 3384 of Zebedees 2199 children, 5207 with 3326 her y846 x848 sonnes, 5207 worshipping 4352 z5723 him, and 2532 desiring 154 z5723 a certain y5100 thing y3844 x5100 of x3844 him. 846

 20:21 And 1161 he x3588 said 2036 z5627 vnto her, 846 What 5101 wilt x2309 thou? y2309 z5719 She saith 3004 z5719 vnto him, 846 Grant, 2036 z5628 that 2443 these 3778 my 3450 two 1417 sonnes 5207 may sit, 2523 z5661 the one 1520 on 1537 thy 4675 right hand, 1188 and 2532 the other 1520 on 1537 the left 2176 in 1722 thy 4675 kingdome. 932

 20:22 But 1161 Iesus 2424 answered, 611 z5679 and said, 2036 z5627 Ye know 1492 z5758 not 3756 what 5101 ye aske. 154 z5731 Are ye able 1410 z5736 to drinke 4095 z5629 of the x3588 cup 4221 that 3739 I 1473 shall 3195 z5719 drinke x4095 of, y4095 z5721 and 2532 to be baptized 907 z5743 with the x3588 baptisme 908 that 3739 I 1473 am baptized x907 with? y907 z5683 They say 3004 z5719 vnto him, 846 We are able. 1410 z5736

 20:23 And 2532 he saith 3004 z5719 vnto them, 846 Yee shall drinke 4095 z5695 indeed 3303 of my 3450 cup, 4221 and 2532 be baptized 907 z5743 with the x3588 baptisme 908 that 3739 I 1473 am baptized x907 with: y907 z5701 but 1161 to sit 2523 z5658 on 1537 my 3450 right hand, 1188 and 2532 on 1537 my 3450 left, 2176 is 2076 z5748 not 3756 mine 1699 to giue, 1325 z5629 but 235 [it shall be giuen] to them for whom 3739 it is prepared 2090 z5769 of 5259 my 3450 father. y3962 x2962

 20:24 And 2532 when the x3588 ten 1176 heard 191 z5660 it, they were moued with indignation 23 z5656 against 4012 the x3588 two 1417 brethren. 80

 20:25 But 1161 Iesus 2424 called 4341 z5666 them 846 vnto him, and said, 2036 z5627 Ye know 1492 z5758 that 3754 the x3588 princes 758 of the x3588 Gentiles 1484 exercise dominion x2634 ouer y2634 z5719 them, 846 and 2532 they that are great, 3173 exercise authoritie x2715 vpon y2715 z5719 them. 846

 20:26 But 1161 it shall y2071 z0 not 3756 be 2071 z5704 so 3779 among 1722 you: 5213 But 235 whosoeuer 3739 1437 will 2309 z5725 bee 1096 z5635 great 3173 among 1722 you, 5213 let him be 2077 z5749 your 5216 minister. 1249

 20:27 And 2532 whosoeuer 3739 1437 will 2309 z5725 be 1511 z5750 chiefe 4413 among 1722 you, 5213 let him be 2077 z5749 your 5216 seruant. 1401

 20:28 Euen as 5618 the x3588 Sonne 5207 of man 444 came 2064 z5627 not 3756 to be ministred vnto, 1247 z5683 but 235 to minister, 1247 z5658 and 2532 to giue 1325 z5629 his y846 x848 life 5590 a ransome 3083 for 473 many. 4183

 20:29 And 2532 as they 846 departed 1607 z5740 from 575 Hiericho, 2410 a great 4183 multitude 3793 followed 190 z5656 him. 846

 20:30 ¶ And 2532 behold, 2400 z5628 two 1417 blind men 5185 sitting 2521 z5740 by x3844 the x3588 way y3598 side, y3844 x3598 when they heard 191 z5660 that 3754 Iesus 2424 passed by, 3855 z5719 cried out, 2896 z5656 saying, 3004 z5723 Haue mercie 1653 z5657 on vs, 2248 O Lord, 2962 thou sonne 5207 of Dauid. 1138

 20:31 And 1161 the x3588 multitude 3793 rebuked 2008 z5656 them, 846 because 2443 they should holde their peace: 4623 z5661 but 1161 they x3588 cried 2896 z5707 the more, 3185 saying, 3004 z5723 Haue mercie 1653 z5657 on vs, 2248 O Lord, 2962 thou sonne 5207 of Dauid. 1138

 20:32 And 2532 Iesus 2424 stood still, 2476 z5631 and called 5455 z5656 them, 846 and 2532 saide, 2036 z5627 What 5101 will x2309 yee y2309 z5719 that I shall doe 4160 z5661 vnto you? 5213

 20:33 They say 3004 z5719 vnto him, 846 Lord, 2962 that 2443 our 2257 eyes 3788 may be opened. 455 z5686

 20:34 So 1161 Iesus 2424 had compassion 4697 z5679 on them, and touched 680 z5662 their 846 eyes: 3788 and 2532 immediatly 2112 their 846 eyes 3788 receiued sight, 308 z5656 and 2532 they followed 190 z5656 him. 846
