Chapter 20: (Introduction to the Gospels, Coding Reference)
1For the dominion of the universes is similar to a person, master of a home, as soon as early whosoever went forth to have hired workmen into the vineyard of him; 2╒moreover╕ ╥and╥ he, with the workmen having concurred the day out of a denarius, authoritatively sent them into the vineyard of him.
3And he, having come forth around ┬the┬ ╔a╗ third houra, observed {the ones} other idleb having been standing within the market-place; 4and to those he said, Depart you also into the vineyard, and what if it would be righteous, I will freely give you; moreover the ones went forth.
5Again he, having come forth around a sixth, also a ninth houra, did likewise; 6moreover he, having come forth around the eleventh ╓houra╖, found {the ones} other ╓idleb╖ having been standing, and he says to them, Why have you idleb been standing here the whole day?
7They say to him, Because no one hired us.
He says to them, Depart you also into the vineyard ╓, and what if it would be just, you will receive╖.
8Moreover {upon} evening having become the sir of the vineyard says to the administrator of him, Call you the workmen, and give you forth to them the recompense beginning from the last until the first.
9And the ones, having come around the eleventh houra, receive up a denarius, 10╓moreover╖ ┌and┐ having come first the ones deemed that they will receive more, and they also received up ┌the one,┐ a denarius; 11 they, having taken, they were grumbling against the master of the home 12saying, ╓That these╖ ┌These┐, the ones last do one hour, you made also them equal to us; the ones to have borne the burden of the day and the summer heat.
13Moreover the one, having replied, said to one of them, Comrade, I do not wrong you! Did you NOT concur a denarius with me? 14Lift you up the one possessed by you, and depart you! Moreover I desire to have given freely to this, the one last, as to you, 15or is it not lawful to me to have done what I desire with the ones possessed by me; ╓if╖ ┌or┐ is the eye of you base because I am good? 16Thus the ones last will be first; and the ones first {will be} last, ╓for {the ones} invitedc are many, moreover {the ones} selected {are} few╖.
17And the Jesus, ascending into a Jerusalem, took along the twelve adherents within the way, and he said privately to them, 18Lo we ascend into a Jerusalem, and the son of the humanity will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will deem him guilty to death, 19and they will deliver him to the nations into the one to have mocked and to have whipped and to have crucified and {within} the third day he will ╓stand up╖ ┌be awakened┐.
20At that time the mother of the sons of a Zebedee, making obeisance and requesting something for herself ╓beside╖ ┌from┐ him, came forward to him with the sons of her,
21Morever the one said to her, What do you desire?
She says to him, Say you that these, the two sons of me, might sit down one out of {the ones} on the right hand of you and one out of {the ones} on the left hand of you within the dominion of you.
22Moreover the Jesus, having replied, said, You do not know what you are requesting for yourselves. Are you being able to have drunk the potiond which I intend to drink ╓or {are you able} to have purified {by} the purification which I am being purified╖?
They say to him, We are being able!
23╓And he╖ ┌He┐ says to them, Indeed you will drink my potiond╓, and you will be purified in the purification which I am purified╖. Moreover the one to have sat down out of {the ones on the right hand of me and out of {the ones} on the left hand of me is not possessed by me to have given ┌this┐, but to whom it has been prepared from under the father of me.
24And the ones ten, having heard, were vexed concerning the two brothers.
25Moreover the Jesus, having addressed them, said, You know that the rulers of the nations exercise complete dominion of them, and the ones great exercise authority over them. 26╓Moreover it╖ ┌It┐ will not be thus within you, but if who would desire to become great, he will be a servant of you; 27and if who would desire to be first within you, ╓let he be╖ ┌he will be┐ a slave of you. 28Even as the son of the humanity did not come to have been served but to have served and to have given freely the physical life of him, a price of release instead of {the one} many.
29And {upon} them having proceeded forth from a Jericho a large crowd followed him, 30and lo two {the ones} blind being seated beside the way, having heard that Jesus is traveling, screamed saying, Have you mercy upon us! Sir, A son of a David!
31Moreover the crowd censured them so that they might keep silent, but the ones screamed greater saying, Have you mercy on us! Sir, A son of a David!
32And the Jesus, having stood, summoned them, and he said, What you desire, I will do to you.
33They say to him, Sir, so that the eyes of us might be opened.
34Moreover the Jesus, having been compassionated, contacted the eyes of them, and immediately ╓the eyes of them╖ ┌they┐ gazed, and they followed him.

aThe Greek is ὥρα, hōra meaning any period of time, season, year, fitting time; thus contextually the hour, since a specific times within the day is mentioned throughout this passage.
bThe Greek is ἀργός, argos, an adjective meaning not working the ground, idle, yielding no return, left undone, contextually idle, not employed.
cThe Greek is κλητός, klētos, an adjective meaning invited, invoked, welcomed, called out.
dThe Greek is ποτηρίον, potērion, meaning drinking-cup, receptacle, absorbent. It also is a figure of speech in the Middle East cultures for ones lot in life or potion which they are to experience whether joyously or adversely. Thus contextually the use of potion is better in this passage than drinking-cup.
