This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
20 because the kingdom of the heavens is like a landowner who came out in the morning to hire labourers to work in his vineyard. 2 They all agreed on the rate for the day and then he sent them off to work in his vineyard. 3 Then around 9am he noticed some others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 and he told them, ‘You can go and work in the vineyard and I’ll pay you all a fair day’s wage at the end.’ 5 So they went off. Then he came out around midday and again at 3pm and did the same. 6 When he came out around 5pm and there were still people just standing around, he asked them, ‘Why have you been idly standing here all day?’ 7 ‘Because no one has hired us,’ they said. So he also sent them off to work in the vineyard.
8 [ref]“In the evening, the landowner instructed his manager, ‘Call the workers and give them their wages, going from the last to start until the first.’ 9 The ones who’d started late afternoon each received the day’s wage that the first workers had been promised, 10 so those first ones expected they’d receive more, but they all got the same day’s wage. 11 When they got theirs, the first workers started grumbling about the landowner 12 and complained, ‘These last ones only worked an hour, and yet you paid them the same as us who worked the entire day right through the scorching heat!’ 13 ‘Buddy,’ he said to one of them, ‘I’m not cheating you. Didn’t you agree to work for me for the daily wage? 14 Take what we agreed on and go, but I wanted to give these last workers the same amount. 15 Or aren’t I permitted to do what I want with my own money? Or is your eye evil just because I am generous?’
16 [ref]“So the last will be first like that, and the first will be last.”
20:17 Yeshua tells a third time about his death
17 As Yeshua started on the walk to Yerusalem, he took the twelve apprentices aside by themselves on the way, and told them, 18 “Listen, we’re going to Yerusalem and humanity’s child will be handed over to the chief priests and the religious teachers, and they will condemn him to death 19 and hand him over to the non-Jews to be mocked and flogged and executed on a stake, and then on the third day he will come back to life.”
20:20 Requesting the top seats
20 Then Zebedee’s wife approached Yeshua with her two sons, Yacob and Yohan. She knelt in front of him, obviously wanting to ask for something.
21 “What is it that you’re wanting?” Yeshua asked.
“Promise that my two sons will be able to sit beside you in the kingdom,” she said, “one on the right and one on the left.”
22 But Yeshua answered, “You all don’t realise what you’re asking. Do you think you’ll be able to bear the suffering that I will have to suffer?”
“Yes,” they replied, “we can.”
23 “Well, you will indeed share the suffering with me,” Yeshua responded. “But on the other hand, sitting on my right and my left is not my decision to make, because my father will have prepared those places.”
24 Now the other ten who’d heard all this, took offence at the two brothers 25 [ref]but Yeshua called them over and said, “You all know that the rulers of other nations practice total control over their people, as do other powerful people. 26 [ref]But among all of you, it shouldn’t be like that. Instead anyone who wants to become great should be your servant, 27 and anyone who wants to be first, should be your slave, 28 in the same way that humanity’s child didn’t come to be served, but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many people.”
20:29 Yeshua heals two blind men
29 When the all left Jericho, a large crowd followed after him. 30 Then, look, two blind men heard that Yeshua was passing by, so they yelled out, “Show mercy to us, master, David’s descendant!”
31 The crowd warned them to be quiet, but they just yelled out even louder, “Master, David’s descendant, show mercy to us!”
32 At that point, Yeshua stopped and called them over and asked, “What is it that you’re wanting me to do for you?”
33 “Master,” they said, “open our eyes so we can see.”
34 Yeshua felt compassionate towards them and touched their eyes with his fingers and then straight away they were able to see, and they followed after him.
