   Bible Reading for October 10   
      
   Matthew Chapter 20   
      
   1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder,   
   which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.   
      
   2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent   
   them into his vineyard.   
      
   3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in   
   the marketplace,   
      
   4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is   
   right I will give you. And they went their way.   
      
   5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.   
      
   6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing   
   idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?   
      
   7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them,   
   Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye   
   receive.   
      
   8 So 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.   
      
   9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they   
   received every man a penny.   
      
   10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received   
   more; and they likewise received every man a penny.   
      
   11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of   
   the house,   
      
   12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them   
   equal unto us, which 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 penny?   
      
   14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, 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 last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called,   
   but few 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 chief 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 him: and the third day he shall rise again.   
      
   20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons,   
   worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.   
      
   21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that   
   these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on   
   the left, in thy kingdom.   
      
   22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to   
   drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the   
   baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.   
      
   23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of 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 shall be given   
   to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.   
      
   24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against   
   the two brethren.   
      
   25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of   
   the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great   
   exercise authority upon them.   
      
   26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among   
   you, let him be your minister;   
      
   27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:   
      
   28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to   
   minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.   
      
   29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.   
      
   30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard   
   that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou   
   Son of David.   
      
   31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace:   
   but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of   
   David.   
      
   32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I   
   shall do unto you?   
      
   33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.   
      
   34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and   
   immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.   
      
   Matthew Chapter 21   
      
   1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage,   
   unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,   
      
   2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and   
   straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them,   
   and bring them unto me.   
      
   3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of   
   them; and straightway he will send them.   
      
   4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the   
   prophet, saying,   
      
   5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek,   
   and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.   
      
   6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,   
      
   7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and   
   they set him thereon.   
      
   8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others   
   cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.   
      
   9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying,   
   Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of   
   the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.   
      
   10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying,   
   Who is this?   
      
   11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.   
      
   12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that   
   sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the   
   moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,   
      
   13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house   
   of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.   
      
   14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.   
      
   15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that   
   he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to   
   the Son of David; they were sore displeased,   
      
   16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto   
   them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings   
   thou hast perfected praise?   
      
   17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he   
   lodged there.   
      
   18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.   
      
   19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found   
   nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on   
   thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.   
      
   20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is   
   the fig tree withered away!   
      
   21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have   
   faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig
