The Greatest Serves

Jesus told a story. A man hired workers for his vineyard early in the morning. He hired more workers later in the day, and some only one hour before the end. At night he paid every worker the same. The first workers grumbled. But the owner said he was being generous. God's grace is a gift, not a paycheck.

The mother of James and John asked Jesus to let her sons sit at His right and left in His Kingdom. The other disciples were upset. Jesus said that among them, whoever wants to be great must serve. He said, "The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

As Jesus left Jericho, two blind men cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!" Jesus had compassion. He touched their eyes, and they could see. They followed Him.
