Bible. Matthew
40:019:020 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept
from my youth up: what lack I yet?
40:019:021 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that
thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure
in heaven: and come and follow me.
40:019:022 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
40:019:023 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you,
That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
40:019:024 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into
the kingdom of God.
40:019:025 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed,
saying, Who then can be saved?
40:019:026 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is
impossible; but with God all things are possible.
40:019:027 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have
forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
40:019:028 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which
have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man
shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon
twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
40:019:029 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or
sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands,
for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall
inherit everlasting life.
40:019:030 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be
first.
40:020:001 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.
40:020:002 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day,
he sent them into his vineyard.
40:020:003 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing
idle in the marketplace,
40:020:004 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and
whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
40:020:005 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did
likewise.
40:020:006 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?
40:020:007 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.
40:020:008 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.
