Bible. Matthew
40:020:009 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour,
they received every man a penny.
40:020:010 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have
received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
40:020:011 And when they had received it, they murmured against the
goodman of the house,
40:020:012 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.
40:020:013 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no
wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
40:020:014 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this
last, even as unto thee.
40:020:015 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is
thine eye evil, because I am good?
40:020:016 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be
called, but few chosen.
40:020:017 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples
apart in the way, and said unto them,
40:020:018 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,
40:020:019 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge,
and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
40:020:020 Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her
sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
40:020:021 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.
40:020:022 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.
40:020:023 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.
40:020:024 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation
against the two brethren.
40:020:025 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.
40:020:026 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great
among you, let him be your minister;
40:020:027 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your
servant:
40:020:028 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
