9. And when the ones hired about the eleventh hour came, they received a denarius apiece.
10. And when the first came, they thought that they would receive more, and they also received a denarius apiece.
11. And when they received it, they began to complain against the master of the house,
12. saying, ‘These last people worked one hour and you made them equal to us who have endured the burden of the day and the burning heat!’
13. But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am not doing you wrong. Did you not come to an agreement with me for a denarius?
14. Take what is yours and go! But I want to give to this last person the same as I gave to you also.
15. Is it not permitted for me to do whatever I want with what is mine? Or is your eye evil because I am generous?’
16. Thus the last will be first and the first last.”
17. And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples by themselves and said to them on the way,
18. “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
19. and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock him and flog him and crucify him, and on the third day he will be raised.”
20. Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling down she asked something from him.
21. And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Say that these two sons of mine may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your kingdom.”
22. But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.”
23. He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
24. And when the ten heard this, they were indignant concerning the two brothers.
25. But Jesus called them to himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions exercise authority over them.
