Matthew 20 - Douy-Rheims Bible Challoner Revision

¹ When therefore they were come, that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

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

³ 1 And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,

⁴ 2 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.

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

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

⁷ 5 Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good?

⁸ 6 So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.

⁹ 7 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them:

¹⁰ 8 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.

¹¹ 9 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified, and the third day he shall rise again.

¹² 0 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him.

¹³ 1 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.

¹⁴ 2 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.

¹⁵ 3 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.

¹⁶ 4 And the ten hearing it, were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

¹⁷ 5 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.

¹⁸ 6 It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister:

¹⁹ 7 And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant.

²⁰ 8 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.

²¹ 9 And when they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

²² 0 And behold two blind men sitting by the way side, heard that Jesus passed by, and they cried out, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us.

²³ 1 And the multitude rebuked them that they should hold their peace. But they cried out the more, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us.

²⁴ 2 And Jesus stood, and called them, and said: What will ye that I do to you?

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

²⁶ 4 And Jesus having compassion on them, touched their eyes. And immediately they saw, and followed him.

²⁷ AND when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples,

²⁸ Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them and bring them to me.

²⁹ And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye, that the Lord hath need of them: and forthwith he will let them go.

³⁰ Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

³¹ Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke.

³² And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.

³³ And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made him sit thereon.
