Matthew:20-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For the kingdom of heaven is (
5748 )
like unto a man that is an householder ,
which went out (
5627 )
early in the morning to hire (
5670 )
labourers into his vineyard .
*
And when he had agreed (
5660 )
with the labourers for a penny a day ,
he sent (
5656 )
them into his vineyard .
*
And he went out (
5631 )
about the third hour ,
and saw (
5627 )
others standing (
5761 )
idle in the marketplace ,
*
And said (
5627 )
unto them ;
Go (
5720 )
ye also into the vineyard ,
and whatsoever is (
5753 )
right I will give (
5692 )
you .
And they went their way (
5627 ).
*
Again he went out (
5631 )
about the sixth and ninth hour ,
and did (
5656 )
likewise .
*
And about the eleventh hour he went out (
5631 ),
and found (
5627 )
others standing (
5761 )
idle ,
and saith (
5719 )
unto them ,
Why stand ye (
5758 )
here all the day idle ?
*
They say (
5719 )
unto him ,
Because no man hath hired (
5668 )
us .
He saith (
5719 )
unto them ,
Go (
5720 )
ye also into the vineyard ;
and whatsoever is (
5753 )
right ,
that shall ye receive (
5695 ).
*
So when even was come (
5637 ),
the lord of the vineyard saith (
5719 )
unto his steward ,
Call (
5657 )
the labourers ,
and give (
5628 )
them their hire ,
beginning (
5671 )
from the last unto the first .
*
And when they came (
5631 )
that were hired about the eleventh hour ,
they received (
5627 )
every man a penny .
*
But when the first came (
5631 ),
they supposed (
5656 )
that they should have received (
5695 )
more ;
and they likewise received (
5627 )
every man a penny .
*
And when they had received (
5631 )
it ,
they murmured (
5707 )
against the goodman of the house ,
*
Saying (
5723 ),
These last have wrought (
5656 )
but one hour ,
and thou hast made (
5656 )
them equal unto us ,
which have borne (
5660 )
the burden and heat of the day .
*
But he answered (
5679 )
one of them ,
and said (
5627 ),
Friend ,
I do thee no wrong (
5719 ):
didst not thou agree (
5656 )
with me for a penny ?
*
Take (
5657 )
that thine is ,
and go thy way (
5720 ):
I will (
5719 )
give (
5629 )
unto this last ,
even as unto thee .
*
Is it not lawful (
5748 )
for me to do (
5658 )
what I will (
5719 )
with mine own ?
Is (
5748 )
thine eye evil ,
because I am (
5748 )
good ?
*
So the last shall be (
5704 )
first ,
and the first last :
for many be (
5748 )
called ,
but few chosen .
*
And Jesus going up (
5723 )
to Jerusalem took (
5627 )
the twelve disciples apart in the way ,
and said (
5627 )
unto them ,
*
Behold (
5628 ),
we go up (
5719 )
to Jerusalem ;
and the Son of man shall be betrayed (
5701 )
unto the chief priests and unto the scribes ,
and they shall condemn (
5692 )
him to death ,
*
And shall deliver (
5692 )
him to the Gentiles to mock (
5658 ),
and to scourge (
5658 ),
and to crucify (
5658 )
him :
and the third day he shall rise again (
5698 ).
*
Then came (
5627 )
to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons ,
worshipping (
5723 )
him ,
and desiring (
5723 )
a certain thing of him .
*
And he said (
5627 )
unto her ,
What wilt thou (
5719 )?
She saith (
5719 )
unto him ,
Grant (
5628 )
that these my two sons may sit (
5661 ),
the one on thy right hand ,
and the other on the left ,
in thy kingdom .
*
But Jesus answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 ),
Ye know (
5758 )
not what ye ask (
5731 ).
Are ye able (
5736 )
to drink (
5629 )
of the cup that I shall (
5719 )
drink of (
5721 ),
and to be baptized (
5743 )
with the baptism that I am baptized with (
5683 )?
They say (
5719 )
unto him ,
We are able (
5736 ).
*
And he saith (
5719 )
unto them ,
Ye shall drink (
5695 )
indeed of my cup ,
and be baptized (
5743 )
with the baptism that I am baptized with (
5701 ):
but to sit (
5658 )
on my right hand ,
and on my left ,
is (
5748 )
not mine to give (
5629 ),
but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared (
5769 )
of my Father .
*
And when the ten heard (
5660 )
it ,
they were moved with indignation (
5656 )
against the two brethren .
*
But Jesus called (
5666 )
them unto him ,
and said (
5627 ),
Ye know (
5758 )
that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over (
5719 )
them ,
and they that are great exercise authority upon (
5719 )
them .
*
But it shall not be (
5704 )
so among you :
but whosoever will (
5725 )
be (
5635 )
great among you ,
let him be (
5749 )
your minister ;
*
And whosoever will (
5725 )
be (
5750 )
chief among you ,
let him be (
5749 )
your servant :
*
Even as the Son of man came (
5627 )
not to be ministered unto (
5683 ),
but to minister (
5658 ),
and to give (
5629 )
his life a ransom for many .
*
And as they departed (
5740 )
from Jericho ,
a great multitude followed (
5656 )
him .
*
And ,
behold (
5628 ),
two blind men sitting (
5740 )
by the way side ,
when they heard (
5660 )
that Jesus passed by (
5719 ),
cried out (
5656 ),
saying (
5723 ),
Have mercy (
5657 )
on us ,
O Lord ,
thou Son of David .
*
And the multitude rebuked (
5656 )
them ,
because they should hold their peace (
5661 ):
but they cried (
5707 )
the more ,
saying (
5723 ),
Have mercy (
5657 )
on us ,
O Lord ,
thou Son of David .
*
And Jesus stood still (
5631 ),
and called (
5656 )
them ,
and said (
5627 ),
What will ye (
5719 )
that I shall do (
5661 )
unto you ?
*
They say (
5719 )
unto him ,
Lord ,
that our eyes may be opened (
5686 ).
*
So Jesus had compassion (
5679 )
on them ,
and touched (
5662 )
their eyes :
and immediately their eyes received sight (
5656 ),
and they followed (
5656 )
him .
*
And when they drew nigh (
5656 )
unto Jerusalem ,
and were come (
5627 )
to Bethphage ,
unto the mount of Olives ,
then sent (
5656 )
Jesus two disciples ,
*
Saying (
5723 )
unto them ,
Go (
5680 )
into the village over against you ,
and straightway ye shall find (
5692 )
an ass tied (
5772 ),
and a colt with her :
loose (
5660 )
them ,
and bring (
5628 )
them unto me .
*
And if any man say (
5632 )
ought unto you ,
ye shall say (
5692 ),
The Lord hath (
5719 )
need of them ;
and straightway he will send (
5692 )
them .
*
All this was done (
5754 ),
that it might be fulfilled (
5686 )
which was spoken (
5685 )
by the prophet ,
saying (
5723 ),
*
Tell ye (
5628 )
the daughter of Sion ,
Behold (
5628 ),
thy King cometh (
5736 )
unto thee ,
meek ,
and sitting (
5761 )
upon an ass ,
and a colt the foal of an ass .
*
And the disciples went (
5679 ),
and did (
5660 )
as Jesus commanded (
5656 )
them ,
*
And brought (
5627 )
the ass ,
and the colt ,
and put (
5656 )
on them their clothes ,
and they set (
5656 ) (
5625 ) (
5656 )
him thereon .
*
And a very great multitude spread (
5656 )
their garments in the way ;
others cut down (
5707 )
branches from the trees ,
and strawed (
5707 )
them in the way .
*
And the multitudes that went before (
5723 ),
and that followed (
5723 ),
cried (
5707 ),
saying (
5723 ),
Hosanna to the Son of David :
Blessed (
5772 )
is he that cometh (
5740 )
in the name of the Lord ;
Hosanna in the highest .
*
And when he was come (
5631 )
into Jerusalem ,
all the city was moved (
5681 ),
saying (
5723 ),
Who is (
5748 )
this ?
*
And the multitude said (
5707 ),
This is (
5748 )
Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee .
*
And Jesus went (
5627 )
into the temple of God ,
and cast out (
5627 )
all them that sold (
5723 )
and bought (
5723 )
in the temple ,
and overthrew (
5656 )
the tables of the moneychangers ,
and the seats of them that sold (
5723 )
doves ,
*
And said (
5719 )
unto them ,
It is written (
5769 ),
My house shall be called (
5701 )
the house of prayer ;
but ye have made (
5656 )
it a den of thieves .
*
And the blind and the lame came (
5656 )
to him in the temple ;
and he healed (
5656 )
them .
*
And when the chief priests and scribes saw (
5631 )
the wonderful things that he did (
5656 ),
and the children crying (
5723 )
in the temple ,
and saying (
5723 ),
Hosanna to the Son of David ;
they were sore displeased (
5656 ),
*
And said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Hearest thou (
5719 )
what these say (
5719 )?
And Jesus saith (
5719 )
unto them ,
Yea ;
have ye never read (
5627 ),
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings (
5723 )
thou hast perfected (
5668 )
praise ?
*
And he left (
5631 )
them ,
and went (
5627 )
out of the city into Bethany ;
and he lodged (
5675 )
there .
*
Now in the morning as he returned (
5723 )
into the city ,
he hungered (
5656 ).
*
And when he saw (
5631 )
a fig tree in the way ,
he came (
5627 )
to it ,
and found (
5627 )
nothing thereon ,
but leaves only ,
and said (
5719 )
unto it ,
Let no fruit grow (
5638 )
on thee henceforward for ever .
And presently the fig tree withered away (
5681 ).
*
And when the disciples saw (
5631 )
it ,
they marvelled (
5656 ),
saying (
5723 ),
How soon is the fig tree withered away (
5681 )!
*
Jesus answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 )
unto them ,
Verily I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
If ye have (
5725 )
faith ,
and doubt (
5686 )
not ,
ye shall not only do (
5692 )
this which is done to the fig tree ,
but also if ye shall say (
5632 )
unto this mountain ,
Be thou removed (
5682 ),
and be thou cast (
5682 )
into the sea ;
it shall be done (
5695 ).
*
And all things ,
whatsoever ye shall ask (
5661 )
in prayer ,
believing (
5723 ),
ye shall receive (
5695 ).
*
And when he was come (
5631 )
into the temple ,
the chief priests and the elders of the people came (
5656 )
unto him as he was teaching (
5723 ),
and said (
5723 ),
By what authority doest thou (
5719 )
these things ?
and who gave (
5656 )
thee this authority ?
*
And Jesus answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 )
unto them ,
I also will ask (
5692 )
you one thing ,
which if ye tell (
5632 )
me ,
I in like wise will tell (
5692 )
you by what authority I do (
5719 )
these things .
*
The baptism of John ,
whence was it (
5713 )?
from heaven ,
or of men ?
And they reasoned (
5711 )
with themselves ,
saying (
5723 ),
If we shall say (
5632 ),
From heaven ;
he will say (
5692 )
unto us ,
Why did ye not then believe (
5656 )
him ?
*
But if we shall say (
5632 ),
Of men ;
we fear (
5736 )
the people ;
for all hold (
5719 )
John as a prophet .
*
And they answered (
5679 )
Jesus ,
and said (
5627 ),
We cannot tell (
5758 ).
And he said (
5713 )
unto them ,
Neither tell (
5719 )
I you by what authority I do (
5719 )
these things .
*
But what think (
5719 )
ye ?
A certain man had (
5707 )
two sons ;
and he came (
5631 )
to the first ,
and said (
5627 ),
Son ,
go (
5720 )
work (
5737 )
to day in my vineyard .
*
He answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 ),
I will (
5719 )
not :
but afterward he repented (
5679 ),
and went (
5627 ).
*
And he came (
5631 )
to the second ,
and said (
5627 )
likewise .
And he answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 ),
I go ,
sir :
and went (
5627 )
not .
*
Whether of them twain did (
5656 )
the will of his father ?
They say (
5719 )
unto him ,
The first .
Jesus saith (
5719 )
unto them ,
Verily I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before (
5719 )
you .
*
For John came (
5627 )
unto you in the way of righteousness ,
and ye believed (
5656 )
him not :
but the publicans and the harlots believed (
5656 )
him :
and ye ,
when ye had seen (
5631 )
it ,
repented (
5675 )
not afterward ,
that ye might believe (
5658 )
him .
*
Hear (
5657 )
another parable :
There was (
5713 )
a certain householder ,
which planted (
5656 )
a vineyard ,
and hedged it round about (
5656 ),
and digged (
5656 )
a winepress in it ,
and built (
5656 )
a tower ,
and let it out (
5639 )
to husbandmen ,
and went into a far country (
5656 ):
*
And when the time of the fruit drew near (
5656 ),
he sent (
5656 )
his servants to the husbandmen ,
that they might receive (
5629 )
the fruits of it .
*
And the husbandmen took (
5631 )
his servants ,
and beat (
5656 )
one ,
and killed (
5656 )
another ,
and stoned (
5681 )
another .
*
Again ,
he sent (
5656 )
other servants more than the first :
and they did (
5656 )
unto them likewise .
*
But last of all he sent (
5656 )
unto them his son ,
saying (
5723 ),
They will reverence (
5691 )
my son .
*
But when the husbandmen saw (
5631 )
the son ,
they said (
5627 )
among themselves ,
This is (
5748 )
the heir ;
come (
5773 ),
let us kill (
5725 )
him ,
and let us seize (
5632 )
on his inheritance .
*
And they caught (
5631 )
him ,
and cast (
5627 )
him out of the vineyard ,
and slew (
5656 )
him .
*
When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh (
5632 ),
what will he do (
5692 )
unto those husbandmen ?
*
They say (
5719 )
unto him ,
He will miserably destroy (
5692 )
those wicked men ,
and will let out (
5695 )
his vineyard unto other husbandmen ,
which shall render (
5692 )
him the fruits in their seasons .
*
Jesus saith (
5719 )
unto them ,
Did ye never read (
5627 )
in the scriptures ,
The stone which the builders (
5723 )
rejected (
5656 ),
the same is become (
5675 )
the head of the corner :
this is the Lords doing (
5633 ),
and it is (
5748 )
marvellous in our eyes ?
*
Therefore say I (
5719 )
unto you ,
The kingdom of God shall be taken (
5701 )
from you ,
and given (
5701 )
to a nation bringing forth (
5723 )
the fruits thereof .
*
And whosoever shall fall (
5631 )
on this stone shall be broken (
5701 ):
but on whomsoever it shall fall (
5632 ),
it will grind him to powder (
5692 ).
*
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard (
5660 )
his parables ,
they perceived (
5627 )
that he spake (
5719 )
of them .
*
But when they sought (
5723 )
to lay hands (
5658 )
on him ,
they feared (
5675 )
the multitude ,
because they took (
5707 )
him for a prophet .
*
And Jesus answered (
5679 )
and spake (
5627 )
unto them again by parables ,
and said (
5723 ),
*
The kingdom of heaven is like (
5681 )
unto a certain king ,
which made (
5656 )
a marriage for his son ,
*
And sent forth (
5656 )
his servants to call (
5658 )
them that were bidden (
5772 )
to the wedding :
and they would (
5707 )
not come (
5629 ).
*
Again ,
he sent forth (
5656 )
other servants ,
saying (
5723 ),
Tell (
5628 )
them which are bidden (
5772 ),
Behold (
5628 ),
I have prepared (
5656 )
my dinner :
my oxen and my fatlings are killed (
5772 ),
and all things are ready :
come (
5773 )
unto the marriage .
*
But they made light of (
5660 )
it ,
and went their ways (
5627 ),
one to his farm ,
another to his merchandise :
*
And the remnant took (
5660 )
his servants ,
and entreated them spitefully (
5656 ),
and slew (
5656 )
them .
*
But when the king heard (
5660 )
thereof ,
he was wroth (
5681 ):
and he sent forth (
5660 )
his armies ,
and destroyed (
5656 )
those murderers ,
and burned up (
5656 )
their city .
*
Then saith he (
5719 )
to his servants ,
The wedding is (
5748 )
ready ,
but they which were bidden (
5772 )
were (
5713 )
not worthy .
*
Go ye (
5737 )
therefore into the highways ,
and as many as ye shall find (
5632 ),
bid (
5657 )
to the marriage .
*
So those servants went out (
5631 )
into the highways ,
and gathered together (
5627 )
all as many as they found (
5627 ),
both bad and good :
and the wedding was furnished (
5681 )
with guests (
5740 ).
*
And when the king came in (
5631 )
to see (
5664 )
the guests (
5740 ),
he saw (
5627 )
there a man which had not on (
5765 )
a wedding garment :
*
And he saith (
5719 )
unto him ,
Friend ,
how camest thou (
5627 )
in hither not having (
5723 )
a wedding garment ?
And he was speechless (
5681 ).
*
Then said (
5627 )
the king to the servants ,
Bind (
5660 )
him hand and foot ,
and take him away (
5657 ),
and cast (
5628 )
him into outer darkness ;
there shall be (
5704 )
weeping and gnashing of teeth .
*
For many are (
5748 )
called ,
but few are chosen .
*
Then went (
5679 )
the Pharisees ,
and took (
5627 )
counsel how they might entangle (
5661 )
him in his talk .
*
And they sent out (
5719 )
unto him their disciples with the Herodians ,
saying (
5723 ),
Master ,
we know (
5758 )
that thou art (
5748 )
true ,
and teachest (
5719 )
the way of God in truth ,
neither carest (
5719 )
thou for any man :
for thou regardest (
5719 )
not the person of men .
*
Tell (
5628 )
us therefore ,
What thinkest (
5719 )
thou ?
Is it lawful (
5748 )
to give (
5629 )
tribute unto Caesar ,
or not ?
*
But Jesus perceived (
5631 )
their wickedness ,
and said (
5627 ),
Why tempt ye (
5719 )
me ,
ye hypocrites ?
*
Shew (
5657 )
me the tribute money .
And they brought (
5656 )
unto him a penny .
*
And he saith (
5719 )
unto them ,
Whose is this image and superscription ?
*
They say (
5719 )
unto him ,
Caesars .
Then saith he (
5719 )
unto them ,
Render (
5628 )
therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesars ;
and unto God the things that are Gods .
*
When they had heard (
5660 )
these words ,
they marvelled (
5656 ),
and left (
5631 )
him ,
and went their way (
5627 ).
*
The same day came (
5656 )
to him the Sadducees ,
which say (
5723 )
that there is (
5750 )
no resurrection ,
and asked (
5656 )
him ,
*
Saying (
5723 ),
Master ,
Moses said (
5627 ),
If a man die (
5632 ),
having (
5723 )
no children ,
his brother shall marry (
5692 )
his wife ,
and raise up (
5692 )
seed unto his brother .
*
Now there were (
5713 )
with us seven brethren :
and the first ,
when he had married a wife (
5660 ),
deceased (
5656 ),
and ,
having (
5723 )
no issue ,
left (
5656 )
his wife unto his brother :
*
Likewise the second also ,
and the third ,
unto the seventh .
*
And last of all the woman died (
5627 )
also .
*
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be (
5704 )
of the seven ?
for they all had (
5627 )
her .
*
Jesus answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 )
unto them ,
Ye do err (
5744 ),
not knowing (
5761 )
the scriptures ,
nor the power of God .
*
For in the resurrection they neither marry (
5719 ),
nor are given in marriage (
5743 ),
but are (
5748 )
as the angels of God in heaven .
*
But as touching the resurrection of the dead ,
have ye not read (
5627 )
that which was spoken (
5685 )
unto you by God ,
saying (
5723 ),
*
I am (
5748 )
the God of Abraham ,
and the God of Isaac ,
and the God of Jacob ?
God is (
5748 )
not the God of the dead ,
but of the living (
5723 ).
*
And when the multitude heard (
5660 )
this ,
they were astonished (
5712 )
at his doctrine .
*
But when the Pharisees had heard (
5660 )
that he had put the Sadducees to silence (
5656 ),
they were gathered together (
5681 ) .
*
Then one of them ,
which was a lawyer ,
asked (
5656 )
him a question ,
tempting (
5723 )
him ,
and saying (
5723 ),
*
Master ,
which is the great commandment in the law ?
*
Jesus said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Thou shalt love (
5692 )
the Lord thy God with all thy heart ,
and with all thy soul ,
and with all thy mind .
*
This is (
5748 )
the first and great commandment .
*
And the second is like unto it (
5625 ),
Thou shalt love (
5692 )
thy neighbour as thyself .
*
On these two commandments hang (
5743 )
all the law and the prophets .
*
While the Pharisees were gathered together (
5772 ),
Jesus asked (
5656 )
them ,
*
Saying (
5723 ),
What think (
5719 )
ye of Christ ?
whose son is he (
5748 )?
They say (
5719 )
unto him ,
The Son of David .
*
He saith (
5719 )
unto them ,
How then doth David in spirit call (
5719 )
him Lord ,
saying (
5723 ),
*
The LORD said (
5627 )
unto my Lord ,
Sit thou (
5737 )
on my right hand ,
till I make (
5632 )
thine enemies thy footstool ?
*
If David then call (
5719 )
him Lord ,
how is he (
5748 )
his son ?
*
And no man was able (
5711 )
to answer (
5677 )
him a word ,
neither durst (
5656 )
any man from that day forth ask (
5658 )
him any more questions .
*
Then spake (
5656 )
Jesus to the multitude ,
and to his disciples ,
