THE kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

Matthew 20:3
And going about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place idle.

Matthew 20:4
And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just.

Matthew 20:5
And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner.

Matthew 20:6
But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle?

Matthew 20:7
They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go you also into my vineyard.

Matthew 20:8
And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first.

Matthew 20:9
When therefore they were come, that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

Matthew 20:10
But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: and they also received every man a penny.

Matthew 20:11
And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,

Matthew 20:12
Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats.

Matthew 20:13
But he answering said to one of them: Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?

Matthew 20:14
Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee.

Matthew 20:15
Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good?

Matthew 20:16
So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.

Matthew 20:17
And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them:

Matthew 20:18
Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death.

Matthew 20:19
And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified, and the third day he shall rise again.

Matthew 20:20
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him.

Matthew 20:21
Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.

Matthew 20:22
And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can.

Matthew 20:23
He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.

Matthew 20:24
And the ten hearing it, were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

Matthew 20:25
But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that are the greater, exercise power upon them.

Matthew 20:26
It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister:

Matthew 20:27
And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant.

Matthew 20:28
Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.

They say to him: Lord, that our eyes be opened.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
