Matthew 20
New English Translation
Workers in the Vineyard
20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner[a] who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 And after agreeing with the workers for the standard wage,[b] he sent them into his vineyard. 3 When it was about nine o’clock in the morning,[c] he went out again and saw others standing around in the marketplace[d] without work. 4 He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and I will give you whatever is right.’ 5 So they went. When[e] he went out again about noon and three o’clock that afternoon,[f] he did the same thing. 6 And about five o’clock that afternoon[g] he went out and found others standing around, and said to them, ‘Why are you standing here all day without work?’ 7 They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go and work in the vineyard too.’ 8 When[h] it was evening[i] the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages[j] starting with the last hired until the first.’ 9 When those hired about five o’clock came, each received a full day’s pay.[k] 10 And when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more. But each one also received the standard wage. 11 When[l] they received it, they began to complain[m] against the landowner, 12 saying, ‘These last fellows worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us who bore the hardship and burning heat of the day.’ 13 And the landowner[n] replied to one of them,[o] ‘Friend, I am not treating you unfairly. Didn’t you agree with me to work for the standard wage?[p] 14 Take what is yours and go. I[q] want to give to this last man[r] the same as I gave to you. 15 Am I not[s] permitted to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?’[t] 16 So the last will be first, and the first last.”
Third Prediction of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection
17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve[u] aside privately and said to them on the way, 18 “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the experts in the law.[v] They will condemn him to death, 19 and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged severely[w] and crucified.[x] Yet[y] on the third day, he will be raised.”
A Request for James and John
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, and kneeling down she asked him for a favor.[z] 21 He said to her, “What do you want?” She replied,[aa] “Permit[ab] these two sons of mine to sit, one at your[ac] right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” 22 Jesus[ad] answered, “You don’t know what you are asking![ae] Are you able to drink the cup I am about to drink?”[af] They said to him, “We are able.”[ag] 23 He told them, “You will drink my cup,[ah] but to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to give. Rather, it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
24 Now[ai] when the other ten[aj] heard this,[ak] they were angry with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions use their authority over them. 26 It must not be this way among you! Instead whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave[al]— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom[am] for many.”
Two Blind Men Healed
29 As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed them. 30 Two[an] blind men were sitting by the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they shouted,[ao] “Have mercy[ap] on us, Lord, Son of David!”[aq] 31 The[ar] crowd scolded[as] them to get them to be quiet. But they shouted even more loudly, “Lord, have mercy on us,[at] Son of David!” 32 Jesus stopped, called them, and said, “What do you want me to do for you?” 33 They said to him, “Lord, let our eyes be opened.” 34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
Footnotes
- Matthew 20:1 sn The term landowner here refers to the owner and manager of a household.
- Matthew 20:2 tn Grk “agreeing with the workers for a denarius a day.”sn The standard wage was a denarius a day. The denarius was a silver coin worth about a day’s wage for a laborer in Palestine in the 1st century.
- Matthew 20:3 tn Grk “about the third hour.”
- Matthew 20:3 sn See the note on marketplaces in Matt 11:16.
- Matthew 20:5 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- Matthew 20:5 tn Grk “he went out again about the sixth and ninth hour.”
- Matthew 20:6 tn Grk “about the eleventh hour.”
- Matthew 20:8 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- Matthew 20:8 sn That is, six o’clock in the evening, the hour to pay day laborers. See Lev 19:13b.
- Matthew 20:8 tc ‡ Most witnesses, including several key mss (B D N W Γ Δ Θ ƒ1, 13 33vid 565 579 700 1241 1424 M latt sy) have αὐτοῖς (autois, “to them”) after ἀπόδος (apodos, “give the pay”), but this may be a motivated reading, clarifying the indirect object. The support for the omission, however, is not nearly as strong (א C L Z 085 Or). Nevertheless, NA28 includes the pronoun on the basis of the greater external attestation. A decision is difficult, but regardless of what is original, English style is better served with an explicit indirect object.
- Matthew 20:9 tn Grk “each received a denarius.” See the note on the phrase “standard wage” in v. 2.
- Matthew 20:11 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- Matthew 20:11 tn The imperfect verb ἐγόγγυζον (egonguzon) has been translated ingressively.
- Matthew 20:13 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the landowner) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- Matthew 20:13 tn Grk “And answering, he said to one of them.” This construction is somewhat redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation.
- Matthew 20:13 tn Grk “for a denarius a day.”
- Matthew 20:14 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- Matthew 20:14 tn Grk “this last one,” translated as “this last man” because field laborers in 1st century Palestine were men.
- Matthew 20:15 tc ‡ Before οὐκ (ouk, “[am I] not”) a number of significant witnesses read ἤ (ē, “or”; e.g., א C N W Γ Δ 085 ƒ1, 13 33 565 579 1241 1424 M lat co). Although in later Greek the οι in σοι (oi in soi)—the last word of v. 14—would have been pronounced like ἤ, since ἤ is lacking in early mss (B D; among later witnesses, note L Z Θ 700; SBL) and since mss were probably copied predominantly by sight rather than by sound, even into the later centuries, the omission of ἤ cannot be accounted for as easily. Thus the shorter reading most likely belongs to the Ausgangstext. NA28 includes the word in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.
- Matthew 20:15 tn Grk “Is your eye evil because I am good?”
- Matthew 20:17 tc ‡ Several key witnesses along with the majority of mss (e.g., B C N W Δ 085 33 565 579 700 1241 M lat syh samss) have μαθητάς (mathētas, “disciples”) after τοὺς δώδεκα (tous dōdeka, “the twelve”); still other authorities have μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ (mathētas autou, “his disciples”; Γ 13 892c 1424 it syp samss) after δώδεκα. The personal pronoun is a clarifying addition, but all these mss also throw their weight toward the μαθητάς reading. Other significant witnesses lack the word (e.g. א D L Θ ƒ1, 13 892* sys,c bo Or). Up until this point in the Gospel, Matthew speaks of “the twelve” always with qualification (“twelve disciples,” “twelve apostles,” “these twelve”; cf. Matt 10:1, 2, 5; 11:1), but afterward just as “the twelve” (Matt 26:14, 20, 47). Thus, in spite of the strong external evidence, both longer variants look to be scribal clarifications, and hence are considered secondary. NA28 puts μαθητὰς in brackets to show doubts about its authenticity.
- Matthew 20:18 tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.
- Matthew 20:19 tn Traditionally, “scourged” (the term means to beat severely with a whip, L&N 19.9). BDAG 620 s.v. μαστιγόω 1.a states, “The ‘verberatio’ is denoted in the passion predictions and explicitly as action by non-Israelites Mt 20:19; Mk 10:34; Lk 18:33”; the verberatio was the beating given to those condemned to death in the Roman judicial system. Here the term μαστιγόω (mastigoō) has been translated “flog…severely” to distinguish it from the term φραγελλόω (phragelloō) used in Matt 27:26; Mark 15:15.
- Matthew 20:19 sn Crucifixion was the cruelest form of punishment practiced by the Romans. Roman citizens could not normally undergo it. It was reserved for the worst crimes, like treason and evasion of due process in a capital case. The Roman historian Cicero called it “a cruel and disgusting penalty” (Against Verres 2.5.63-66 §§163-70); Josephus (J. W. 7.6.4 [7.203]) called it the worst of deaths.
- Matthew 20:19 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
- Matthew 20:20 tn Grk “asked something from him.”
- Matthew 20:21 tn Grk “said to him.”
- Matthew 20:21 tn Grk “Say that.”
- Matthew 20:21 tc A majority of witnesses read σου (sou, “your”) here, perhaps as a clarifying addition. At the same time, it is possible that the pronoun dropped out through haplography or was excised because of perceived redundancy (there are two other such pronouns in the verse) by א B. All things considered, σου is most likely authentic.
- Matthew 20:22 tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- Matthew 20:22 tn The verbs in Greek are plural here, indicating that Jesus is not answering the mother but has turned his attention directly to the two disciples.
- Matthew 20:22 tc Most mss (C N W Γ Δ 33 565 579 700 1241 1424 M al, as well as some versional and patristic authorities) add “or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” But this is surely due to a recollection of the fuller version of this dominical saying found in Mark 10:38. The same mss also have the Lord’s response, “and you will be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized” in v. 23, again due to the parallel in Mark 10:39. The shorter reading, in both v. 22 and v. 23, is to be preferred both because it better explains the rise of the other reading and is found in superior witnesses (א B D L Z Θ 085 ƒ1, 13 lat sa, as well as other versional and patristic authorities).
- Matthew 20:22 sn No more naïve words have ever been spoken as those found here coming from James and John, “We are able.” They said it with such confidence and ease, yet they had little clue as to what they were affirming. In the next sentence Jesus confirms that they will indeed suffer for his name.
- Matthew 20:23 tc See the tc note on “about to drink” in v. 22.
- Matthew 20:24 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.
- Matthew 20:24 tn Grk “the ten.”
- Matthew 20:24 tn The word “this” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
- Matthew 20:27 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
- Matthew 20:28 sn The Greek word for ransom (λύτρον, lutron) is found here and in Mark 10:45 and refers to the payment of a price in order to purchase the freedom of a slave. The idea of Jesus as the “ransom” is that he paid the price with his own life by standing in our place as a substitute, enduring the judgment that we deserved for sin.
- Matthew 20:30 tn Grk “And behold.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).
- Matthew 20:30 tn Grk “shouted, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.
- Matthew 20:30 sn Have mercy on us is a request for healing. It is not owed to the men. They simply ask for God’s kind grace.
- Matthew 20:30 sn There was a tradition in Judaism that the Son of David (Solomon) had great powers of healing (Josephus, Ant. 8.2.5 [8.42-49]).
- Matthew 20:31 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- Matthew 20:31 tn Or “rebuked.” The crowd’s view was that surely Jesus would not be bothered with someone as unimportant as a blind beggar.
- Matthew 20:31 tc ‡ The majority of mss (C N W Γ Δ ƒ1 33 565 1241 1424 M and several versional witnesses) read κύριε (kurie, “Lord”) after ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς (eleēson hēmas, “have mercy on us”). But since this is the order of words in v. 30 (though that wording is also disputed), and since the κύριε-first reading enjoys widespread and early support (א B D L Z Θ 085 0281 ƒ13 892 lat syp samss bo; SBL), the latter was considered to be the earliest reading. However, the decision was by no means easy. NA28 has κύριε after ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς here; a majority of that committee felt that since the placement of κύριε in last place was the nonliturgical order it “would have been likely to be altered in transcription to the more familiar sequence” (TCGNT 44).
Mateo 20
Ang Biblia (1978)
20 (A)Sapagka't ang kaharian ng langit ay tulad sa isang tao na puno ng sangbahayan, na lumabas pagkaumagang-umaga, upang umupa ng manggagawa sa kaniyang ubasan.
2 At nang makipagkasundo na siya sa mga manggagawa sa isang denario sa bawa't araw, ay isinugo niya sila sa kaniyang ubasan.
3 At siya'y lumabas nang malapit na ang ikatlong oras, at nakita ang mga iba sa pamilihan na nangakatayong walang ginagawa;
4 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Magsiparoon din naman kayo sa ubasan, at bibigyan ko kayo ng nasa katuwiran. At nagsiyaon ng kanilang lakad sa ubasan.
5 Lumabas siyang muli nang malapit na ang mga oras na ikaanim at ikasiyam, at gayon din ang ginawa.
6 At lumabas siya nang malapit na ang ikalabingisang oras at nakasumpong siya ng mga iba na nangakatayo; at sinabi niya sa kanila, Bakit kayo'y nangakatayo rito sa buong maghapon na walang ginagawa?
7 At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Sapagka't sinoma'y walang umupa sa amin. Sinabi niya sa kanila, Magsiparito din naman kayo sa ubasan.
8 At (B)nang dumating ang hapon, sinabi ng panginoon ng ubasan sa kaniyang katiwala, Tawagin mo ang mga manggagawa, at bayaran mo sila ng kaupahan sa kanila, na mula sa mga huli hanggang sa mga una.
9 At paglapit ng mga inupahan nang malapit na ang ikalabingisang oras ay tumanggap bawa't tao ng isang denario.
10 At nang magsilapit ang mga nauna, ang isip nila'y magsisitanggap sila ng higit; at sila'y nagsitanggap din bawa't tao ng isang denario.
11 At nang kanilang tanggapin ay nangagbulongbulong laban sa puno ng sangbahayan,
12 Na nangagsasabi, Isa lamang oras ang ginugol nitong mga huli, sila'y ipinantay mo sa amin, na aming binata ang hirap sa maghapon at ang init na nakasusunog.
13 Datapuwa't siya'y sumagot at sinabi sa isa sa kanila, Kaibigan, hindi kita iniiring: hindi baga nakipagkayari ka sa akin sa isang denario?
14 Kunin mo ang ganang iyo, at humayo ka sa iyong lakad; ibig kong bigyan itong huli, nang gaya rin sa iyo.
15 Hindi baga matuwid sa aking (C)gawin ang ibig ko sa aking pagaari? o (D)masama ang mata mo, sapagka't ako'y mabuti?
16 Kaya't (E)ang mga una'y mangahuhuli, at ang mga huli ay mangauuna.
17 Samantalang (F)umaahon si Jesus, ay bukod niyang isinama ang labingdalawang alagad, at sa daa'y sinabi niya sa kanila,
18 Narito, nagsisiahon tayo sa Jerusalem; at ibibigay ang Anak ng tao sa mga pangulong saserdote at sa mga eskriba; at kanilang hahatulang siya'y patayin,
19 At ibibigay siya (G)sa mga Gentil upang siya'y kanilang (H)alimurahin, at hampasin, at ipako sa krus: at (I)sa ikatlong araw siya'y ibabangon.
20 Nang magkagayo'y (J)lumapit sa kaniya ang ina ng mga anak na lalake ni (K)Zebedeo, na kasama ang kaniyang mga anak na lalake na siya'y sinamba, at may hinihinging isang bagay sa kaniya.
21 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Ano ang ibig mo? Sinabi niya sa kaniya, Ipagutos mo na itong aking dalawang anak ay magsiupo, (L)ang isa sa iyong kanan, at ang isa (M)sa iyong kaliwa, sa iyong kaharian.
22 Nguni't sumagot si Jesus at sinabi, Hindi ninyo nalalaman ang inyong hinihingi. Mangyayari bagang inuman ninyo (N)ang sarong malapit nang aking iinuman? Sa kaniya'y sinabi nila, Mangyayari.
23 Sinabi niya sa kanila, (O)Katotohanang iinuman ninyo ang aking saro: datapuwa't ang maupo sa aking kanan, at sa aking kaliwa, ay hindi sa akin ang pagbibigay; datapuwa't yaon ay para sa kanila na mga pinaghandaan ng aking Ama.
24 At nang marinig ito ng sangpu, ay nangagalit laban sa dalawang magkapatid.
25 Datapuwa't sila'y pinalapit ni Jesus sa kaniya, at sinabi, (P)Nalaman ninyo na ang mga pinuno ng mga Gentil ay nangapapapanginoon sa kanila, at ang kanilang mga dakila ay nagsisigamit ng kapamahalaan sa kanila.
26 Sa inyo'y hindi magkakagayon: kundi (Q)ang sinomang magibig na dumakila sa inyo ay magiging lingkod ninyo;
27 At sinomang magibig na maging una sa inyo ay magiging alipin ninyo:
28 Gayon din naman (R)ang Anak ng tao ay hindi naparito upang paglingkuran, kundi upang maglingkod, at (S)ibigay ang kaniyang buhay na pangtubos sa (T)marami.
29 At nang (U)sila'y magsialis sa Jerico, ay sumunod sa kaniya ang lubhang maraming tao.
30 At narito, ang (V)dalawang lalaking bulag na nangakaupo sa tabi ng daan, pagkarinig nilang nagdaraan si Jesus, ay nangagsisigaw, na nagsisipagsabi, Panginoon, mahabag ka sa amin, ikaw na Anak ni David.
31 At pinagwikaan sila ng karamihan, upang sila'y magsitahimik: datapuwa't sila'y lalong nangagsisigaw, na nagsisipagsabi, Panginoon, mahabag ka sa amin, ikaw na Anak ni David.
32 At tumigil si Jesus, at sila'y tinawag, at sinabi, Ano ang ibig ninyong gawin ko sa inyo?
33 Sinabi nila sa kaniya, Panginoon, na mangadilat ang mga mata namin.
34 At si Jesus, sa pagkahabag, ay (W)hinipo ang kanilang mga mata, at pagdaka'y nagsitanggap sila ng kanilang paningin; at nagsisunod sa kaniya.
Matthew 20
King James Version
20 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.
2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7 They 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.
8 So 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.
9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
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.
13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
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,
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.
20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
21 And 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.
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? They say unto him, We are able.
23 And 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.
24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
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.
26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
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.
29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
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, thou son of 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, thou son of David.
32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
Matthieu 20
Louis Segond
20 Car le royaume des cieux est semblable à un maître de maison qui sortit dès le matin, afin de louer des ouvriers pour sa vigne.
2 Il convint avec eux d'un denier par jour, et il les envoya à sa vigne.
3 Il sortit vers la troisième heure, et il en vit d'autres qui étaient sur la place sans rien faire.
4 Il leur dit: Allez aussi à ma vigne, et je vous donnerai ce qui sera raisonnable.
5 Et ils y allèrent. Il sortit de nouveau vers la sixième heure et vers la neuvième, et il fit de même.
6 Étant sorti vers la onzième heure, il en trouva d'autres qui étaient sur la place, et il leur dit: Pourquoi vous tenez-vous ici toute la journée sans rien faire?
7 Ils lui répondirent: C'est que personne ne nous a loués. Allez aussi à ma vigne, leur dit-il.
8 Quand le soir fut venu, le maître de la vigne dit à son intendant: Appelle les ouvriers, et paie-leur le salaire, en allant des derniers aux premiers.
9 Ceux de la onzième heure vinrent, et reçurent chacun un denier.
10 Les premiers vinrent ensuite, croyant recevoir davantage; mais ils reçurent aussi chacun un denier.
11 En le recevant, ils murmurèrent contre le maître de la maison,
12 et dirent: Ces derniers n'ont travaillé qu'une heure, et tu les traites à l'égal de nous, qui avons supporté la fatigue du jour et la chaleur.
13 Il répondit à l'un d'eux: Mon ami, je ne te fais pas tort; n'es-tu pas convenu avec moi d'un denier?
14 Prends ce qui te revient, et va-t'en. Je veux donner à ce dernier autant qu'à toi.
15 Ne m'est-il pas permis de faire de mon bien ce que je veux? Ou vois-tu de mauvais oeil que je sois bon? -
16 Ainsi les derniers seront les premiers, et les premiers seront les derniers.
17 Pendant que Jésus montait à Jérusalem, il prit à part les douze disciples, et il leur dit en chemin:
18 Voici, nous montons à Jérusalem, et le Fils de l'homme sera livré aux principaux sacrificateurs et aux scribes. Ils le condamneront à mort,
19 et ils le livreront aux païens, pour qu'ils se moquent de lui, le battent de verges, et le crucifient; et le troisième jour il ressuscitera.
20 Alors la mère des fils de Zébédée s'approcha de Jésus avec ses fils, et se prosterna, pour lui faire une demande.
21 Il lui dit: Que veux-tu? Ordonne, lui dit-elle, que mes deux fils, que voici, soient assis, dans ton royaume, l'un à ta droite et l'autre à ta gauche.
22 Jésus répondit: Vous ne savez ce que vous demandez. Pouvez-vous boire la coupe que je dois boire? Nous le pouvons, dirent-ils.
23 Et il leur répondit: Il est vrai que vous boirez ma coupe; mais pour ce qui est d'être assis à ma droite et à ma gauche, cela ne dépend pas de moi, et ne sera donné qu'à ceux à qui mon Père l'a réservé.
24 Les dix, ayant entendu cela, furent indignés contre les deux frères.
25 Jésus les appela, et dit: Vous savez que les chefs des nations les tyrannisent, et que les grands les asservissent.
26 Il n'en sera pas de même au milieu de vous. Mais quiconque veut être grand parmi vous, qu'il soit votre serviteur;
27 et quiconque veut être le premier parmi vous, qu'il soit votre esclave.
28 C'est ainsi que le Fils de l'homme est venu, non pour être servi, mais pour servir et donner sa vie comme la rançon de plusieurs.
29 Lorsqu'ils sortirent de Jéricho, une grande foule suivit Jésus.
30 Et voici, deux aveugles, assis au bord du chemin, entendirent que Jésus passait, et crièrent: Aie pitié de nous, Seigneur, Fils de David!
31 La foule les reprenait, pour les faire taire; mais ils crièrent plus fort: Aie pitié de nous, Seigneur, Fils de David!
32 Jésus s'arrêta, les appela, et dit: Que voulez-vous que je vous fasse?
33 Ils lui dirent: Seigneur, que nos yeux s'ouvrent.
34 Ému de compassion, Jésus toucha leurs yeux; et aussitôt ils recouvrèrent la vue, et le suivirent.
