   “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
   Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
   He went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’
   So they went.
   Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
   And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day?’
   They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’
   He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.’

   “So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.’
   When those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.
   But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.
   When they had received it, they complained (grumbled) against the landowner, saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.’
   But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong.
   Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
   Take what is yours and go your way.
   I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.
   Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things?
   Or is your eye evil because I am good?’
   So the last will be first, and the first last.
   For many are called, but few chosen.”

   Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the 12disciples aside on the road and to them:
   “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes.
   They will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.”

   Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.

   Jesus to her:
   “What do you wish?”

   She to Jesus:
   “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.”

   But Jesus answered:
   “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

   They to Jesus:
   “We are able.”

   Jesus to them:
   “You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.”

   When the 10 heard it, they were greatly displeased with the 2 brothers.
   But Jesus called them to Himself:
   “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.
   Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.
   Whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

   Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Jesus.
   Behold, 2 blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out:
   “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!”

   Then the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more:
   “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!”

   So Jesus stood still and called them:
   “What do you want Me to do for you?”

   They to Jesus:
   “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
   So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes.
   Immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.

   When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death.

   When they had bound Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

   Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders:
   “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.”

   The chief priests and elders:
   “What is that to us? You see to it!”

   Then Judas threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.

   But the chief priests took the silver pieces:
   “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because they are the price of blood.”

   They consulted together and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.

   Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

   Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet:
   “And they took the 30 pieces of silver, the value of Him who was priced, whom they of the children of Israel priced, and gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord directed me.”

   Zechariah 11:12
   Then I said to them, “If it is agreeable to you, give me my wages; and if not, refrain.” So they weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver.

   Is Matthew 27 9 Zechariah or Jeremiah?
   Matthew credits this, in literal terms, to Jeremiah.
   Jeremiah 19:1–13 deals with these same themes.
   However, the exact words Matthew cites seem to come almost directly from Zechariah 11:12–13.
   Scholars suggest that Matthew blended the 2 prophecies and mentioned only the more prominent of the 2 prophets.

   Now Jesus stood before the governor.
   The governor asked Jesus:
   “Are You the King of the Jews?”

   Jesus to the governor:
   “It is as you say.”

   While Jesus was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.

   Then Pilate to Jesus:
   “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?”
   But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

   Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished.
   At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas (Jesus Barabbas).
   Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate to them:
   “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
   For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy.

   While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him:
   “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.”

   But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
   The governor answered and to them:
   “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?”

   The multitudes:
   “Barabbas!”

   Pilate to the multitudes:
   “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”

   They all to Pilate:
   “Let Him be crucified!”

   Then the governor:
   “Why, what evil has He done?”

   But they cried out all the more:
   “Let Him be crucified!”

   When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude:
   “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it.”

   All the people answered:
   “His blood be on us and on our children.”

   Then Pilate released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus (flogged with a Roman scourge), he delivered Him to be crucified.

   Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium (governor’s headquarters) and gathered the whole garrison around Him.
   They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.
   When they had twisted (woven) a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. They bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him:
   “Hail, King of the Jews!”
   Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head.
   When they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified.

   Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name.
   Him they compelled to bear His cross.
   When they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull, they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink.
   But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.

   Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet:

   “They divided My garments among them,
   And for My clothing they cast lots.”

   Psalm 22:18
   They divide My garments among them,
   And for My clothing they cast lots.

   Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.
   They put up over His head the accusation written against Him:

   THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

   Then 2 robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.

   Those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads:
   “You who destroy the temple and build it in 3 days, save Yourself!
   If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

   Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes and elders (scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders):
   “He saved others; Himself He cannot save.
   If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him.
   He trusted in God.
   Let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”

   Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.

   Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.
   And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice:
   “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

   Some of those who stood there, when they heard that:
   “This Man is calling for Elijah!”
   Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.

   The rest:
   “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.”

   50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

   Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened.
   Many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

   So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly:
   “Truly this was the Son of God!”

   Many women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses (Joseph), and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

   Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.
   This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
   Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him.
   When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock.
   He rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.
   Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite (in front of) the tomb.

   On the next day, which followed the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate:
   “Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, ‘After 3 days I will rise.’
   Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead.’
   So the last deception will be worse than the first.”

   Pilate to the chief priests and Pharisees:
   “You have a guard.
   Go your way, make it as secure as you know how.”
   So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and setting the guard.
