Matthew 20:2-14

2And when he had agreedG4856 with the laborers for a shilling a dayG2250, he sentG649 them into his vineyardG290.

3And he wentG1831 out about the thirdG5154 hourG5610, and sawG3708 othersG243 standingG2476 in the marketplace idleG692;

4and to them he saidG3004, GoG5217 ye alsoG2532 into the vineyardG290, and whatsoever isG1510 rightG1342 I will giveG1325 you. And they wentG5217 their way.

5AgainG3825 he wentG1831 out about the sixthG1623 and the ninth hourG5610, and did likewiseG5615.

6And about the eleventhG1734 hour he wentG1831 out, and foundG2147 othersG243 standingG2476; and he saith unto them, WhyG5101 standG2476 ye hereG5602 all the dayG2250 idleG692?

7They sayG3004 unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, GoG5217 ye alsoG2532 into the vineyardG290.

8And when evenG2532 was comeG1096, the lordG2962 of the vineyardG290 saith unto his steward, CallG2564 the laborers, and payG591 them their hire, beginningG757 from the lastG2078 unto the firstG4413.

9And when they cameG2064 that were hired about the eleventhG1734 hourG5610, they receivedG2983 every man a shilling.

10And when the firstG4413 cameG2064, they supposed that they would receiveG2983 moreG4183; and they likewise receivedG2983 every man a shilling.

11And when they receivedG2983 it, they murmured against the householder,

12sayingG3004, These lastG2078 have spent but oneG1520 hourG5610, and thou hast madeG4160 them equalG2470 unto us, who have borneG941 the burdenG922 of the dayG2250 and the scorching heatG2742.

13But he answeredG611 and saidG3004 to oneG1520 of them, FriendG2083, I do thee no wrongG91: didst not thou agreeG4856 with me for a shilling?

14TakeG142 up that which is thine, and goG5217 thy way; it is my will to giveG1325 unto this lastG2078, evenG2532 as unto thee.
