1 For 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.

1 Simile est regnum cælorum homini patrifamilias, qui exiit primo mane conducere operarios in vineam suam.

2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

2 Conventione autem facta cum operariis ex denario diurno, misit eos in vineam suam.

3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

3 Et egressus circa horam tertiam, vidit alios stantes in foro otiosos,

4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the

ℵ ⟨my⟩

vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

4 et dixit illis: Ite et vos in vineam meam, et quod justum fuerit dabo vobis.

5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

5 Illi autem abierunt. Iterum autem exiit circa sextam et nonam horam: et fecit similiter.

6 And about the eleventh hour

ℵB omit

he went out, and found others standing idle

ℵB omit

, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

6 Circa undecimam vero exiit, et invenit alios stantes, et dicit illis: Quid hic statis tota die otiosi?

7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us

ℵ* omit

. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive

ℵB omit

.

7 Dicunt ei: Quia nemo nos conduxit. Dicit illis: Ite et vos in vineam meam.

8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire

ℵ ⟨the hire⟩

, beginning from the last unto the first.

8 Cum sero autem factum esset, dicit dominus vineæ procuratori suo: Voca operarios, et redde illis mercedem incipiens a novissimis usque ad primos.

9 And

B ⟨But⟩

when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

9 Cum venissent ergo qui circa undecimam horam venerant, acceperunt singulos denarios.

10 But

B ⟨And⟩

when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

10 Venientes autem et primi, arbitrati sunt quod plus essent accepturi: acceperunt autem et ipsi singulos denarios.

11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,

11 Et accipientes murmurabant adversus patremfamilias,

12 Saying, 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.

12 dicentes: Hi novissimi una hora fecerunt, et pares illos nobis fecisti, qui portavimus pondus diei, et æstus.

13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

13 At ille respondens uni eorum, dixit: Amice, non facio tibi injuriam: nonne ex denario convenisti mecum?

14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.

14 Tolle quod tuum est, et vade: volo autem et huic novissimo dare sicut et tibi.

15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

15 Aut non licet mihi quod volo, facere? an oculus tuus nequam est, quia ego bonus sum?

16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen

ℵB omit

.

16 Sic erunt novissimi primi, et primi novissimi. Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi.

17 ¶ And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took

B ⟨But when Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, he took⟩

the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them

ℵB ⟨apart, and in the way he said unto them⟩

,

17 ¶ Et ascendens Jesus Jerosolymam, assumpsit duodecim discipulos secreto, et ait illis:

18 Behold, 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

B omit

,

18 Ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam, et Filius hominis tradetur principibus sacerdotum, et scribis, et condemnabunt eum morte,

19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

19 et tradent eum gentibus ad illudendum, et flagellandum, et crucifigendum, et tertia die resurget.

20 ¶ Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

20 ¶ Tunc accessit ad eum mater filiorum Zebedæi cum filiis suis, adorans et petens aliquid ab eo.

21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him

B ⟨But she said⟩

, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

21 Qui dixit ei: Quid vis? Ait illi: Dic ut sedeant hi duo filii mei, unus ad dexteram tuam, et unus ad sinistram in regno tuo.

22 But 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

ℵB omit

? They say unto him, We are able.

22 Respondens autem Jesus, dixit: Nescitis quid petatis. Potestis bibere calicem, quem ego bibiturus sum? Dicunt ei: Possumus.

23 And

ℵB omit

he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with

ℵB omit

: but to sit on my right hand, and

B ⟨or⟩

on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

23 Ait illis: Calicem quidem meum bibetis: sedere autem ad dexteram meam vel sinistram non est meum dare vobis, sed quibus paratum est a Patre meo.

24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against

ℵ ⟨began to be much displeased with⟩

the two brethren.

24 Et audientes decem, indignati sunt de duobus fratribus.

25 But 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.

25 Jesus autem vocavit eos ad se, et ait: Scitis quia principes gentium dominantur eorum: et qui majores sunt, potestatem exercent in eos.

26 But

ℵB omit

it shall not be

B ⟨is not⟩

so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

26 Non ita erit inter vos: sed quicumque voluerit inter vos major fieri, sit vester minister:

27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

27 et qui voluerit inter vos primus esse, erit vester servus.

28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

28 Sicut Filius hominis non venit ministrari, sed ministrare, et dare animam suam redemptionem pro multis.

29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him

ℵ* omit

.

29 ¶ Et egredientibus illis ab Jericho, secuta est eum turba multa,

30 ¶ And, 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

ℵ ⟨Have mercy on us, Jesus⟩; B ⟨O Lord, have mercy on us⟩

, thou son of David.

30 et ecce duo cæci sedentes secus viam audierunt quia Jesus transiret: et clamaverunt, dicentes: Domine, miserere nostri, fili David.

31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord

ℵB ⟨O Lord, have mercy on us⟩

, thou son of David.

31 Turba autem increpabat eos ut tacerent. At illi magis clamabant, dicentes: Domine, miserere nostri, fili David.

32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?

32 Et stetit Jesus, et vocavit eos, et ait: Quid vultis ut faciam vobis?

33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

33 Dicunt illi: Domine, ut aperiantur oculi nostri.

34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes

ℵB ⟨they⟩

received sight, and they followed him.

34 Misertus autem eorum Jesus, tetigit oculos eorum. Et confestim viderunt, et secuti sunt eum.
