Matthew 20:9-20 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

9. And those who had come about the eleventh hour each received a denarius.

10. And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; yet they too received a denarius.

11. “But when they received it, they began to grumble against the master of the house,

12. saying, ‘These last guys did one hour, and you’ve made them equal to us, who bore the burden and scorching heat of the day!’

13. “But answering, he said to one of them, ‘Friend, I’m doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me on a denarius?

14. Take what is yours and go. But I want to give this last guy the same as you.

15. Am I not permitted to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’

16. “So the last will be first, and the first last.”

17. Now as Yeshua was going up to Jerusalem, He took the Twelve aside privately; and on the way he told them,

18. “Look, we’re going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the ruling kohanim and Torah scholars. They will condemn Him to death

19. and hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify. Yet on the third day, He will be raised up.”

20. Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came with her sons to Yeshua, and she was kneeling down and asking something from Him.
