Matthew 20:8-16

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.

15Is itG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for meG1473 to doG4160 whatG3739 I willG2309 withG1722 mine ownG1699? IsG1510 thineG4771 eyeG3588G3788 evilG4190, becauseG3754 IG1473 amG1510 goodG18?

16SoG3779 the lastG2078 shall beG1510 firstG4413, andG2532 the firstG4413 lastG2078: forG1063 manyG4183 beG1510 calledG2822, butG1161 fewG3641 chosenG1588.
