[1]For the kyngdome of heauen is lyke vnto a man, that is an householder, whiche went out earlye in the mornyng to hire labourers into his vineyarde
[2]And he agreed with the labourers for a peny a day, & sent them into his vineyarde
[3]And he went out about the thirde houre, and sawe other standyng idle in the market place
[4]And saide vnto them: Go ye also into ye vineyard, & whatsoeuer is right, I wyl geue you. And they went their way
[5]Agayne, he went out about the sixth and nynth houre, and dyd lykewyse
[6]And about the eleuenth houre, he wet out, and founde other standyng idle, and saide vnto them: why stande ye here all the day idle
[7]They saye vnto him: because no man hath hyred vs. He sayth vnto them: go ye also into the vineyarde, and whatsoeuer is ryght, that shall ye receaue
[8]So, when euen was come, the lorde of the vineyard sayth vnto his steward: Call the labourers, and geue them their hire, beginning at ye last, vntyll the first
[9]And when they came, that [were hired] about the eleuenth houre, they receaued euery man a peny
[10]But when the firste came also, they supposed that they shoulde haue receaued more: and they lykewyse receaued euery man a peny
[11]And when they had receaued it, they murmured against the good man of the house
[12]Saying: These laste haue wrought but one houre, & thou hast made them equall vnto vs, whiche haue borne the burthen and heate of the day
[13]But he aunswered to one of the, & said: Frende, I do thee no wrong: dyddest thou not agree with me for a peny
[14]Take that thyne is, and go thy way: I wyll geue vnto this last, euen as vnto thee
[15]Is it not lawfull for me, to do that I wyll with myne owne? Is thyne eye euyll, because I am good
[16]So the last, shalbe the first, & the first [shalbe] last: For many be called, but fewe [be] chosen
[17]And Iesus, goyng vp to Hierusale, toke the twelue disciples asyde in the way, and sayde vnto them
[18]Beholde, we go vp to Hierusalem, and the sonne of man shalbe betrayed vnto the chiefe priestes, and vnto the scribes, and they shall condempne hym to death
[19]And shall deliuer him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and to be scourged, and to be crucified: and the thirde day, he shall ryse agayne
[20]Then came to hym the mother of Zebedees chyldren, with her sonnes, worshyppyng hym, and desiryng a certayne thyng of hym
[21]And he sayth vnto her: what wylt thou? She saith vnto him: graunt, that these my two sonnes may syt, the one on thy ryght hande, and the other on the left, in thy kyngdome
[22]But Iesus aunswered, and saide: Ye wote not what ye aske. Are ye able to drynke of the cuppe that I shall drynke of? and to be baptized with the baptisme that I am baptized with? They say vnto hym: we are able
[23]He sayth vnto them: Ye shall drynke in deede of my cuppe, and be baptized with the baptisme that I am baptized with: But to syt on my ryght hande, & on my lefte, is not myne to geue, but to them for whom it is prepared for of my father
[24]And when the ten hearde [this], they disdayned at the two brethren
[25]But Iesus called them vnto him, and sayde: Ye know that the princes of the gentiles haue dominion ouer them: and they that are great, exercise aucthoritie vpon them
[26]It shall not be so among you: But whosoeuer wyll be great among you, let hym be your minister
[27]And who so wyl be chiefe among you, let hym be your seruaunt
[28]Euen as the sonne of man came, not to be ministred vnto, but to minister, and to geue his lyfe a raunsome for many
[29]And as they departed from Hierico, much people folowed hym
[30]And behold, two blind men syttyng by the waye syde, when they hearde that Iesus passed by, they cryed, saying: O Lorde, thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on vs
[31]And the people rebuked them, because they should holde their peace. But they cryed the more, saying: haue mercy on vs, O Lorde, thou sonne of Dauid
[32]And Iesus stode styll, & called them, and sayde: what wyll ye that I shall do vnto you
[33]They saye vnto hym? Lord, that our eyes may be opened
[34]So Iesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediatly theyr eyes receaued syght. And they folowed hym
