hese have I kept from my youth,
what is yet wanting to me?
19:21. Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou
hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and
come, follow me.
19:22. And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for
he had great possessions.
19:23. Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you, that a rich
man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
19:24. And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through
the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of
heaven.
19:25. And when they had heard this, the disciples wondered much,
saying: Who then can be saved?
19:26. And Jesus beholding, said to them: With men this is impossible:
but with God all things are possible.
19:27. Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all
things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?
19:28. And Jesus said to them: Amen I say to you, that you who have
followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the
seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the
twelve tribes of Israel.
19:29. And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or
father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake,
shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.
19:30. And many that are first, shall be last: and the last shall be
first.
Matthew Chapter 20
The parable of the labourers in the vineyard. The ambition of the two
sons of Zebedee. Christ gives sight to two blind men.
20:1. The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out
early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
20:2. And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent
them into his vineyard.
20:3. And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the
marketplace idle.
20:4. And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give
you what shall be just.
20:5. And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and
the ninth hour, and did in like manner.
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?
20:7. They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them:
Go ye also into my vineyard.
20:8. And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his
steward:
