Matthew 20:11-15
11When they receivedG2983 it, they grumbledG1111 at the landownerG3617,
12sayingG3004, ‘TheseG3778 who were hired lastG2078 workedG4160 only oneG1520 hourG5610, and you have madeG4160 them equalG2470 to us whoG3588 have borneG941 the burdenG922 of the day’sG2250 work and the 1scorchingG2742 heatG2742.’
13But he answeredG611 and saidG3004 to oneG1520 of them, ‘2FriendG2083, I am doingG91 you noG3756 wrongG91; did you not agreeG4856 with me for a denariusG1220?
14TakeG142 whatG3588 is yoursG4674 and goG5217; but I wantG2309 to giveG1325 to thisG3778 lastG2078 personG2078 the sameG2532 as to you.
15Is it not lawfulG1832 for me to doG4160 whatG3739 I wantG2309 with whatG3588 is my ownG1699? OrG2228 is your 3eyeG3788 4enviousG4190 becauseG3754 I amG1510 5generousG18?’
