21 Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto

him, “One thing thou lackest : go thy way, sell

astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth
again, and saith unto them, “Children, how

man that is an housholder, which went out 1
early in the morning to hire labourers into his

vineyard. And when he had agreed with the 2
“ labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into
“ his vineyard. And he went out about the 3
“ third hour, and saw others standing idle in
“ the marketplace, and said unto them; Go ye 4
“ also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right
“ I will give you. And they went their way.

Again he went out about the sixth and ninth 5
“ hour, and did likewise. And about the ele-6
“ venth hour he went out, and found others

standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand
ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, 7
“ Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto
“ them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and
“ whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. So 8
“ when even was come, the lord of the vineyard
“ saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and

give them their hire, beginning from the last
“ unto the first. And when they came that were 9
“ hired about the eleventh hour, they received

every man a penny. But when the first came, 10
they supposed that they should have received
more; and they likewise received every man

a penny. And when they had received it, they 11
“ murmured against the goodman of the house,

saying, These last have wrought but one hour, 12
“ and thou hast made them equal unto us, which

And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and

began to tell them what things should happen

33 unto him, saying, “Behold, we go up to JeruL. 18.“ salem, and all things a that are written by the * Ps. 22.

31 “ prophets concerning the Son of man shall be

“ deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to

34 none of these things: and this saying was hid

from them, neither knew they the things which
were spoken.

108. Christ restoreth sight to Bartimæus.

Mk. 10.
And they came to Jericho: and as he went

46 out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimæus, the son of Timæus, sat by the highway side begging. And L. 18. hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it 36 meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Naza- 37 reth passeth by. And he began to cry out, and Mk. 10. say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on 47 me. And many charged him that he should 48 hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to 49 be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. And he, casting away his garment, rose, 50 and came to Jesus. And Jesus answered and 51 said unto him, “ What wilt thou that I should “ do unto thee?” The blind man said unto him, M". 20. Lord, that I might receive my sight. So Jesus 34 had compassion, and said unto him, “Receive L.18.42

AND, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, 3 and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus

who he was; and could not for the press, be4 cause he was little of stature. And he ran

before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to
6 see him: for he was to pass that way. And

when Jesus came to the place, he looked up,
and saw him, and said unto him, “ Zacchæus,

“ make haste, and come down ; for to day I
6“ must abide at thy house.” And he made haste,
7 and came down, and received him joyfully. And
when they saw it, they all murmured, saying,
That he was gone to be guest with a man that
8 is a sinner. And Zacchæus stood, and said unto
the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods
