Jubilee Bible

St. Matthew 20:10-19 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

10. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more but they likewise received each one a denarius.

11. And when they had received it, they murmured against the husband of the house,

12. saying, These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us who have borne the burden and heat of the day.

13. But he answered one of them and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou agree with me for a denarius?

14. Take that which is thine and go, for I desire to give unto this last one, even as unto thee.

15. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil because I am good?

16. So the first shall be last, and the last first; for many are called, but few are chosen.

17. And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way and said unto them,

18. Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the princes of the priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death

19. and shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify; {Gr. stauroo – Hang on a stake}; and the third day he shall rise again.
