| Matthew 19 (NKJV™) | |
| 27 | Then Peter answered and said to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?" |
| 28 | So Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. |
| 29 | "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. |
| 30 | "But many who are first will be last, and the last first. |
| Matthew 20 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. |
| 2 | "Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. |
| 3 | "And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, |
| 4 | "and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went. |
| 5 | "Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. |
| 6 | "And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?' |
| 7 | "They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.' |
| 8 | "So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.' |
| 9 | "And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius. |
| 10 | "But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius. |
| 11 | "And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner, |
| 12 | "saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.' |
| 13 | "But he answered one of them and said, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? |
| 14 | 'Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. |
| 15 | 'Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?' |
| 16 | "So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen." |
| 17 | Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them, |
| 18 | "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, |
| 19 | "and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again." |
| 20 | Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him. |
| 21 | And He said to her, "What do you wish?" She said to Him, "Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom." |
| 22 | But Jesus answered and said, "You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" They said to Him, "We are able." |
| 23 | So He said to them, "You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father." |
| 24 | And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers. |
| 25 | But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. |
| 26 | "Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. |
| 27 | "And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave-- |
| 28 | "just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." |
| 29 | Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him. |
| 30 | And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, "Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!" |
| 31 | Then the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, "Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!" |
| 32 | So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?" |
| 33 | They said to Him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened." |
| 34 | So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him. |
| Matthew 21 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, |
| 2 | saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. |
| 3 | "And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them." |
| 4 | All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: |
| 5 | "Tell the daughter of Zion, 'Behold, your King is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.'" |
| 6 | So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. |
| 7 | They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. |
| 8 | And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. |
| 9 | Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David! 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!' Hosanna in the highest!" |
| 10 | And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, "Who is this?" |
| 11 | So the multitudes said, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee." |
| 12 | Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. |
| 13 | And He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.'" |
| 14 | Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. |
| 15 | But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant |
| 16 | and said to Him, "Do You hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise'?" |
| 17 | Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and He lodged there. |
