Now when he [the landowner] had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. Bengel notes that the landowner deals with the first group of labourers by legal contract, promising to pay an agreed sum, and with the others more by mere liberality". Verse 16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen. The second part of this verse, For many are called, but few [are] chosen, is not included in Codex Vaticanus, Codex Regius, Codex Dublinensis or Codex Sinaiticus. The words are included in the Textus Receptus, and by Scrivener, and they appear in the King James Version, but they are omitted from the American Standard Version and the New International Version. The journey towards Jerusalem Verse 17 Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road, and said to them, This verse continues the journey commenced in . There are three typical readings of this verse: Jesus ... took the twelve disciples aside on the road, and said to them (New King James Version, cf. Geneva Bible, King James Version, Jerusalem Bible) Jesus ... took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them (Revised Standard Version, cf. American Standard Version, Amplified Version, Holman Christian Standard Bible). The words "on the way" are missing from the Latin Vulgate and from the Douay-Rheims Version: Et ascendens Jesus Jerosolymam, assumpsit duodecim discipulos secreto, et ait illis: And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them: Verse 20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him. The mother of Zebedee's sons, James and John, is known to have been Salome, "as we learn by comparing Matthew 27:56 with Mark 15:40". Her request is described as "ambitious". Departure from Jericho Matthew's narrative portrays the healing of two blind men taking place as Jesus, his disciples and a great multitude leave Jericho, although their passage back over the River Jordan and their arrival in Jericho are not described. The Ethiopic version, uniquely, reads here "as they went out from Jerusalem".
