The Parable of the Workers

1The kyngdome of heauen is like vnto an housholder, which wete out early in the mornynge, to hyre labourers in to his vyniarde. 2And wha he had agreed with the labourers for a peny a daye, he sent the in to his vynyarde. 3And aboute ye thirde houre he wente out, and sawe other stondinge ydle in the market place, 4and sayde vnto them: Go ye also in to my vynyarde, & what so euer is right, I wil geue it you. And they wete their waye. 5Agayne, he wete out aboute the sixte and nyenth houre, and dyd likewyse, 6And aboute the eleuenth houre he wete out, and founde other stodynge ydle, and sayde vnto them: Why stonde ye here all the daye ydle? 7They sayde vnto him: because no man hath hyred us. He saide vnto the: Go ye also in to my vinyarde, and loke what is right, ye shal haue it.

8Now whan euen was come, the lorde of the vynyarde sayde vnto his stewarde: Call the labourers, and geue them their hyre, begynnynge from the last vnto ye first. 9Then they that were hyred aboute the eleuenth houre, came and receaued euery man a peny. 10But whan the first came, they supposed that they shulde receaue more: and they also receaued euery man a peny. 11And whan they had receaued it, they murmured agaynst the housholder, 12and sayde: These last haue wrought but one houre, and thou hast made the equall vnto us, which haue borne the burthen and heate of the daye. 13He answered and sayde vnto one of them: frende, I do ye no wronge: diddest not thou agree with me for a peny? 14Take that thine is, and go thy waye. I wil geue vnto this last also, like as vnto the. 15Or haue I not power, to do as me listeth with myne owne? Is thine eye euell, because I am good? 16So the last shalbe the first, & the first the last. For many are called, but few are chosen.

The Third Prediction of the Passion
(Mark 10:32–34; Luke 18:31–34)

17And Iesus wente vp to Ierusalem, and toke the twolue disciples asyde in the waye, and sayde vnto them:

18Beholde, we go vp to Ierusalem, and the sonne of man shalbe delyuered vnto the hye prestes and scribes: & they shal condemne him to death, 19and shal delyuer him vnto ye Heithen, to be mocked to be scourged, and to be crucified. And the thirde daye he shal ryse agayne.

A Mother’s Request
(Mark 10:35–45)

20Then came vnto him the mother of Zebedes childre with hir sonnes, fell downe before him, and desyred a certayne thinge of hi. 21And he saide vnto her: What wilt thou? She sayde vnto him: Let these two sonnes of myne syt in thy kyngdome: the one vpon thy right honde, & the other vpon thy left honde. 22But Iesus answered, and sayde: Ye wote not what ye axe. Maye ye drynke the cuppe, that I shal drynke? & to be baptised with the baptyme, that I shalbe baptysed withall? 23They sayde vnto him: Yee that we maye. And he sayde vnto them: My cuppe truly shal ye drynke, & with the baptyme yt I shal be baptysed withall, shal ye be baptysed: Neuertheles to syt vpon my right honde & on my left, is not myne to geue, but vnto the for who it is prepared of my father.

24Whan the ten herde that, they disdayned at the two brethren. 25But Iesus called them vnto him, and sayde: Ye knowe that ye prynces of the worlde haue domynacion of the people, and the greatest exercise power amonge the. 26It shal not be so amonge you. But whoso euer wyl be greate amonge you, let him be youre mynister: 27& who soeuer wyl be chefe, let him be youre seruaunt: 28Euen as the sonne of man came, not to be serued, but to do seruyce, and to geue his life to a redepcion for many.

The Blind Men by the Road
(Mark 10:46–52; Luke 18:35–43)

29And when they departed from Iericho, moch people folowed him: 30and beholde, two blyndemen sat by the waye syde: And when they herde that Iesus passed by, they cried & sayde. O LORDE, thou sonne Dauid,haue mercy vpon vs. 31But ye people rebuked the, that they shulde holde their peace. Neuertheles they cried the more, & sayde: O LORDE, thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy vpon vs. 32And Iesus stode styll, and called them, and sayde: What wil ye, yt I shal do vnto you? 33They sayde vnto him: LORDE, that oure eyes maye be opened. 34And Iesus had compassion vpon them, and touched their eyes: & immediatly their eies receaued sight. And they folowed him.
