6 [19:23]And Jesus said to his disciples, I tell you truly, that a rich man will enter into the kingdom of heaven with difficulty. [19:24]And again I tell 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. [19:25]And the disciples hearing this, were greatly astonished, and said, Who then can be saved? [19:26]But Jesus looking on them, said, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. 7 [19:27]Then Peter answered and said, Behold we have left all and followed you; what shall we have therefore? [19:28]And Jesus said to them, I tell you truly, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, shall yourselves also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel; [19:29]and whoever has left brothers or sisters, or a father or mother, or children, or lands or houses, for my name's sake, shall receive many times as much, and inherit eternal life. [19:30]But many first shall be last; and last, first. 8 [20:1]For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers in his vineyard. [20:2]And agreeing with the laborers for a denarius [14 cents] a day, he sent them into his vineyard. [20:3] And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the market; [20:4]and he said to them, go also into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went. [20:5]Again going out about the sixth and ninth hours, he did likewise. [20:6]And going out about the eleventh hour he found others standing, and said to them, Why stand you all the day idle? [20:7]They said to him, Because no man has hired us. He said to them, Go also into the vineyard. [20:8]And when it was evening the lord of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the laborers, and pay them the wages [stipulated], beginning from the last even to the first. [20:9]And those who came about the eleventh hour, received a denarius [14 cents] each. [20:10]And those who came first supposed that they should receive more. And they also received a denarius [14 cents] each; [20:11]and when they had received it, they complained of the householder, [20:12]saying, These last have worked but one hour, and you have made them equal with us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day. [20:13]But he answered and said to one of them, Neighbor, I do you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius [14 cents]? [20:14]Take what belongs to you, and go, for I will give to the last even as to you. [20:15]Is it not right for me to do what I will with my own? Is your eye evil because I am good? [20:16]So the last shall be first, and the first last.
