Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For the kyngdom of heauen is lyke vnto a man that is an housholder, whych went out early in the mornyng to hyer labourers into hys vyneyard. ² And whan the agrement was made wyth the labourers for a peny a daye, he sent them into hys vineyarde. ³ And he went out about the thirde houre, & sawe other standyng ydell in the market place, ⁴ & sayde vnto them: go ye also into the vineyarde: & whatsoeuer is ryght, I wyll geue you. And they went theyr waye. ⁵ Agayne, he went out about the syxte & nynthe houre, & dyd lykewyse. ⁶ And aboute the eleuenth houre he went out, & founde other standynge ydell, & sayd vnto them: Why stande ye here all the daye ydell? ⁷ They saye vnto hym because no man hath hyred vs. He sayeth vnto them: go ye also into the vineyarde: & whatsoeuer is ryght, that shall ye receaue. ⁸ So, when euen was come, the Lord of the vineyarde sayeth vnto his steward: call the labourers, & geue them their hyer, begynnyng at the laste vntill the fyrst. ⁹ And whan they dyd come, that cam about the eleuenth houre, they receaued euery man a peny. ¹⁰ But whan the fyrst came also, they supposed that they shuld haue receaued more, & they lykewyse receaued euery man a peny. ¹¹ And when they had receaued it, they murmured agaynst the good man of the house, ¹² sayinge: These last haue wrought but one houre, & thou hast made them equall vnto vs, which haue borne the burthen & heat of the day. ¹³ But he answered vnto one of them & sayde: frende, I do the no wronge: dydest thou not agre wt me for a penny? ¹⁴ Take that thine is & go thy waye: I wyll geue vnto thys last, euen as vnto the. ¹⁵ Is it not lawfull for me to do as me lysteth wt myne awne goodes? Is thyne eye euyll, because I am good? ¹⁶ So the last shalbe fyrst, & the fyrste shalbe last. For many be called, but fewe be chosen. ¹⁷ And Iesus going vp to Ierusalem, toke the .xij. disciples asyde in the waye, & sayd vnto them: ¹⁸ Beholde, we go vp to Ierusalem, & the sonne of man shalbe betrayed vnto the chefe Prestes, & vnto the Scribes, & they shall condemne hym to deeth, ¹⁹ & shall delyuer hym to the gentyls, to be mocked and to be scourged, and to be crucifyed: and the thyrde daye he shall ryse agayne. ²⁰ Then came to him the mother of Zebedes chyldren, wt her sonnes, worshyppyng him & desyryng a certaine thynge of him. ²¹ And he sayeth vnto her, what wilt thou? She sayde vnto him: Graunte, that these my two sonnes may syt, the one on thy ryght hande, and the other on the lefte, in thy kyngdome. ²² But Iesus answered & sayde: Ye wot not what ye aske. Are ye able to dryncke of that cuppe that I shall drynke of: & to be baptised wt the baptyme, that I am baptised wt? ²³ They saye vnto him: we are. He sayde vnto them: ye shall dryncke in dede of my cup: & be baptised wt the baptyme that I am baptised with. But to syt on my ryght hande & on my left, is not myne to geue: but it shall chaunce vnto them, that it is prepared for of my father. ²⁴ And when the ten heard this, they disdayned at the two brethren: ²⁵ But Iesus called them vnto him, & sayde: ye knowe that the princes of the nacions haue dominion ouer them. And they that are great men, exercyse auctorite vpon them. ²⁶ It shall not be so amonge you. But whosoeuer wyll be greate amonge you, let him be youre minister: ²⁷ and whoso will be chefe amonge you, let him be youre seruaunt: ²⁸ euen as the sonne of man cam, not to be ministred vnto, but to minister, & to geue his lyfe a redempcion for many. ²⁹ And as they departed from Hiericho, moch people folowed him. ³⁰ And beholde, two blynd men sittinge by the waysyde, when they hearde that Iesus passed by, they cried sayinge: O lord thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on vs. ³¹ And the people rebuked them, because they shulde holde their peace. But they cried the more sayinge: haue mercy on vs. O Lord thou sonne of Dauid. ³² And Iesus stode still, and called them, & sayde: what wyll ye that I shall do vnto you: ³³ They saye vnto him: Lorde, that oure eyes maye be opened: ³⁴ So Iesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes, & immediatly their eyes receaued syght. And they folowed him.
