What happensPermalink
Jesus tells the parable of the workers in the vineyard. He foretells his death. He tells James and John they don’t understand what it would mean to drink the same cup He would drink, and that the first shall be last and the last first. He heals two blind men who shout at him.
Why it mattersPermalink
This is the third time Jesus predicts His own death. He focuses on how the kingdom of heaven is not like the kingdom of earth: reward is not according to work, and leaders must be servants.
Key versePermalink
“…even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
