Matthew 20:8-16

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. 15IsG1510 it not lawfulG1832 for me to do what I will with mine own? or isG1510 thine eyeG3788 evilG4190, because I amG1510 goodG18? 16So the lastG2078 shall beG1510 firstG4413, and the firstG4413 lastG2078.
