Part 32 (1/2)

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 market-place, 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 evening 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 good man 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.

Luke.

CH. XVIII. 18-30.

18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none _is_ good, save one, _that is_ G.o.d.

20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

22 Now, when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of G.o.d!

25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of G.o.d!

26 And they that heard _it_, said, Who then can be saved?

27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men, are possible with G.o.d.

28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

29 And he said unto them, Verily, I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of G.o.d's sake, 30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

17 And Jesus, going up to 32 And they were in the way, Jerusalem, took the twelve going up to Jerusalem; and disciples apart in the way, Jesus went before them: and and said unto them, they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid.

And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him.

18 Behold, we go up to 33 _Saying_, Behold, we go up Jerusalem; and the Son of man to Jerusalem; and the Son of shall be betrayed unto the man shall be delivered unto chief priests, and unto the the chief priests, and unto scribes, and they shall the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles; 19 And shall deliver him to 34 And they shall mock him, the Gentiles to mock, and to and shall scourge him, and scourge, and to crucify _him_: shall spit upon him, and shall and the third day he shall kill him: and the third day he rise again. shall rise again.

CH. XVIII. 31-34.

31 Then he took _unto him_ the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on; 33 And they shall scourge _him_, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

-- 108. James and John prefer their ambitious request. _Perea_.
