Matthew 20:2-24
2And having agreedG4856 with the workmenG2040 for a denariusG1220 the dayG2250, he sentG649 them into his vineyardG290.
3And having goneG1831 out about [the] thirdG5154 hourG5610, he sawG3708 othersG243 standingG2476 in the market-place idleG692;
4and to them he saidG3004, GoG5217 alsoG2532 ye into the vineyardG290, and whatsoever may beG1510 justG1342 I will giveG1325 you. And they wentG5217 their way.
5AgainG3825, having goneG1831 out about the sixthG1623 and ninth hourG5610, he did likewiseG5615.
6But about the eleventhG1734 [hour], having goneG1831 out, he foundG2147 othersG243 standingG2476, and saysG3004 to them, WhyG5101 standG2476 ye hereG5602 all the dayG2250 idleG692?
7They sayG3004 to him, Because no man has hired us. He saysG3004 to them, GoG5217 alsoG2532 ye into the vineyardG290 [and whatsoever may be just ye shall receive].
8But when the eveningG3798 was comeG1096, the lordG2962 of the vineyardG290 saysG3004 to his steward, CallG2564 the workmenG2040 and payG591 [them] their wagesG3408, beginningG757 from the lastG2078 evenG2532 to the firstG4413.
9And when they [who cameG2064 to work] about the eleventhG1734 hourG5610 cameG2064, they receivedG2983 each a denariusG1220.
10And when the firstG4413 cameG2064, they supposed that they would receiveG2983 moreG4183, and they receivedG2983 alsoG2532 themselves each a denariusG1220.
11And on receivingG2983 it they murmured against the master of the houseG3617,
12sayingG3004, These lastG2078 have worked oneG1520 hourG5610, and thou hast madeG4160 them equalG2470 to us, who have borneG941 the burdenG922 of the dayG2250 and the heatG2742.
13But he answeringG611 saidG3004 to oneG1520 of them, [My] friendG2083, I do not wrongG91 thee. Didst thou not agreeG4856 with me for a denariusG1220?
14TakeG142 what is thine and goG5217. But it is my will to giveG1325 to this lastG2078 evenG2532 as to thee:
15isG1510 it not lawfulG1832 for me to do what I will in my own affairs? IsG1510 thine eyeG3788 evilG4190 because I amG1510 goodG18?
16ThusG3779 shall the lastG2078 beG1510 firstG4413, and the firstG4413 lastG2078; for many areG1510 called ones, but few chosen ones.
17And JesusG2424, goingG305 up to JerusalemG2414, tookG3880 the twelveG1427 disciplesG3101 with [him] apart in the wayG3598, and saidG3004 to them,
18BeholdG2400 we goG305 up to JerusalemG2414, and the SonG5207 of manG444 will be deliveredG3860 up to the chiefG749 priestsG749 and scribesG1122, and they will condemnG2632 him to deathG2288;
19and they will deliverG3860 him up to the nationsG1484 to mockG1702 and to scourge and to crucifyG4717, and the thirdG5154 dayG2250 he shall riseG1453 againG1453.
20Then cameG4334 to him the motherG3384 of the sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199, with her sonsG5207, doing homage, and askingG154 somethingG5100 of him.
21And he saidG3004 to her, What wilt thou? She saysG3004 to him, SpeakG3004 [the word] that these my twoG1417 sonsG5207 may sitG2523, oneG1520 on thy rightG1188 handG1188 and oneG1520 on thy left in thy kingdomG932.
22And JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG3004, Ye know not what ye askG154. Can ye drinkG4095 the cupG4221 which I am about to drinkG4095? They sayG3004 to him, We are ableG1410.
23[And] he saysG3004 to them, Ye shall drinkG4095 indeed my cupG4221, but to sitG2523 on my rightG1188 handG1188 and on [my] left, isG1510 not mine to giveG1325, but to those for whom it isG1510 preparedG2090 of my FatherG3962.
24And the tenG1176, having heardG191 [of it], were indignantG23 about the twoG1417 brothersG80.
