Matthew 20:2-14
2AndG1161 when he had agreedG4856 withG3326 the labourersG3588G2040 forG1537 a pennyG1220 a dayG3588G2250, he sentG649 themG846 intoG1519 hisG846 vineyardG3588G290.
3AndG2532 he went outG1831 aboutG4012 theG5610 thirdG5154 hourG5610, and sawG3708 othersG243 standingG2476 idleG692 inG1722 the marketplaceG3588G58,
4AndG2548 said unto themG3004; GoG5217 yeG4771 alsoG2532 intoG1519 the vineyardG3588G290, andG2532 whatsoeverG3739G1437 isG1510 rightG1342 I will giveG1325 youG4771. AndG1161 they went their wayG3588G565.
5AgainG3825 he went outG1831 aboutG4012 theG5610 sixthG1623 andG2532 ninthG1766 hourG5610, and didG4160 likewiseG5615.
6AndG1161 aboutG4012 theG5610 eleventhG1734 hourG5610 he went outG1831, and foundG2147 othersG243 standingG2476 idleG692, andG2532 saithG3004 unto themG846, WhyG5101 stand yeG2476 hereG5602 allG3650 the dayG3588G2250 idleG692?
7They sayG3004 unto himG846, BecauseG3754 no manG3762 hath hiredG3409 usG1473. He saithG3004 unto themG846, GoG5217 yeG4771 alsoG2532 intoG1519 the vineyardG3588G290; andG2532 whatsoeverG3739 isG1510 rightG1342, that shall ye receiveG2983.
8SoG1161 whenG1096 evenG3798 was comeG1096, the lordG3588G2962 of the vineyardG3588G290 saithG3004 untoG3588G2012 hisG846 stewardG3588G2012, CallG2564 the labourersG3588G2040, andG2532 giveG591 themG846 their hireG3588G3408, beginningG756 fromG575 the lastG2078 untoG2193 the firstG4413.
9AndG2532 when they cameG2064 thatG3588 were hired aboutG4012 theG5610 eleventhG1734 hourG5610, they receivedG2983 every manG303 a pennyG1220.
10ButG1161 whenG2064 the firstG4413 cameG2064, they supposedG3543 thatG3754 they should have receivedG2983 moreG4119; andG2532 theyG846 likewiseG2532 receivedG2983 every manG303 a pennyG1220.
11AndG1161 when they had receivedG2983 it, they murmuredG1111 againstG2596 the goodman of the houseG3588G3617,
12SayingG3004, TheseG3778 lastG2078 have wroughtG4160 but oneG1520 hourG5610, andG2532 thou hast madeG4160 themG846 equalG2470 unto usG1473, which have borneG941 the burdenG3588G922 andG2532 heatG3588G2742 of the dayG3588G2250.
13ButG1161 he answeredG611 oneG1520 of themG846, and saidG3004, FriendG2083, I doG91 theeG4771 noG3756 wrongG91: didstG4856 notG3780 thou agreeG4856 with meG1473 for a pennyG1220?
14TakeG142 that thineG4674 is, andG2532 go thy wayG5217: I willG2309 giveG1325 untoG2078 thisG3778 lastG2078, evenG2532 asG5613 unto theeG4771.
