twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes
of Israel; [19:29]and whoever has left brothers or sisters, or a father
or mother, or children, or lands or houses, for my name's sake, shall
receive many times as much, and inherit eternal life. [19:30]But many
first shall be last; and last, first.

8 [20:1]For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out
early in the morning to hire laborers in his vineyard. [20:2]And
agreeing with the laborers for a denarius [14 cents] a day, he sent
them into his vineyard. [20:3] And going out about the third hour, he
saw others standing idle in the market; [20:4]and he said to them, go
also into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they
went. [20:5]Again going out about the sixth and ninth hours, he did
likewise. [20:6]And going out about the eleventh hour he found others
standing, and said to them, Why stand you all the day idle? [20:7]They

[20:13]But he answered and said to one of them, Neighbor, I do you no

9 [20:17]And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took his twelve disciples
aside privately, and said to them on the way, [20:18]Behold we go up to
Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests
and scribes, and they will condemn him to death, [20:19]and deliver him
to the gentiles, to mock, and scourge, and crucify him; and on the
third day he shall be raised.
