Matthew 20:1-15

1ForG1063 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG932 heavenG3772 isG1510 likeG3664 unto aG1510 manG444 thatG3748 isG1510 aG1510 householder, whichG3748 wentG1831 outG1831 earlyG4404 inG1519 theG3588 morningG4404 toG1519 hireG3409 labourers intoG1519 hisG846 vineyardG290.

2AndG1161 whenG1161 heG846 had agreedG4856 withG3326 theG3588 labourers forG1519 a penny a dayG2250, heG846 sentG649 themG846 intoG1519 hisG846 vineyardG290.

3AndG2532 heG2532 wentG1831 outG1831 aboutG4012 theG3588 thirdG5154 hourG5610, andG2532 sawG3708 othersG243 standingG2476 inG1722 theG3588 marketplace idleG692;

4andG2532 toG1519 themG1325 heG2532 saidG3004, GoG5217 ye alsoG2532 intoG1519 theG3588 vineyardG290, andG2532 whatsoever isG1510 rightG1342 IG3739 willG1510 giveG1325 youG5210. AndG2532 theyG3739 wentG5217 theirG2532 wayG5217.

5AgainG3825 heG2532 wentG1831 outG1831 aboutG4012 theG3588 sixthG1623 andG2532 theG3588 ninth hourG5610, andG2532 didG4160 likewiseG5615.

6AndG2532 aboutG4012 theG3588 eleventhG1734 hour heG2532 wentG1831 outG1831, andG2532 foundG2147 othersG243 standingG2476; andG2532 heG2532 saith unto themG846, WhyG5101 standG2476 ye hereG5602 allG3650 theG3588 dayG2250 idleG692?

7TheyG846 sayG3004 unto himG846, BecauseG3754 noG3762 manG3762 hath hiredG3409 usG3004. HeG2532 saith unto themG846, GoG5217 ye alsoG2532 intoG1519 theG3588 vineyardG290.

8AndG2532 whenG2532 evenG2532 was comeG1096, theG3588 lordG2962 ofG575 theG3588 vineyardG290 saith unto hisG846 stewardG2012, CallG2564 theG3588 labourers, andG2532 payG591 themG846 theirG846 hire, beginningG757 fromG575 theG3588 lastG2078 unto theG3588 firstG4413.

9AndG2532 whenG2532 theyG2532 cameG2064 thatG4012 were hired aboutG4012 theG3588 eleventhG1734 hourG5610, theyG2532 receivedG2983 every man a penny.

10AndG2532 whenG2532 theG3588 firstG4413 cameG2064, theyG846 supposedG3543 thatG3754 theyG846 wouldG846 receiveG2983 moreG4183; andG2532 theyG846 likewiseG2532 receivedG2983 every manG4413 a penny.

11AndG1161 whenG1161 theyG1161 receivedG2983 itG1161, theyG1161 murmured againstG2596 theG3588 householder,

12sayingG3004, TheseG3778 lastG2078 have spentG4160 butG2532 oneG1520 hourG5610, andG2532 thou hast madeG4160 themG846 equalG2470 unto usG3004, whichG3588 have borneG941 theG3588 burdenG922 ofG2250 theG3588 dayG2250 andG2532 theG3588 scorchingG2742 heatG2742.

13ButG1161 heG846 answeredG611 andG1161 saidG3004 toG3004 oneG1520 ofG1520 themG846, FriendG2083, IG1473 doG91 thee noG3756 wrongG91: didst notG3756 thou agreeG4856 withG846 meG3004 forG1520 a penny?

14TakeG142 upG142 thatG3778 whichG3588 is thine, andG2532 goG5217 thy wayG5217; itG1161 is myG1325 willG3778 toG2309 giveG1325 unto thisG3778 lastG2078, evenG2532 asG5613 unto thee.

15IsG1510 itG4160 notG3756 lawfulG1832 forG3754 meG1473 toG2309 doG4160 whatG3739 IG1473 willG1510 withG1722 mineG1699 ownG1699? orG2228 isG1510 thine eyeG3788 evilG4190, becauseG3754 IG1473 amG1510 goodG18?
