Matthew 20:2-24
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?
16SoG2532 theG3588 lastG2078 shallG2532 beG1510 firstG4413, andG2532 theG3588 firstG4413 lastG2078.
17AndG2532 asG1519 JesusG2424 was goingG305 upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, heG2532 tookG3880 theG3588 twelveG1427 disciplesG3101 apart, andG2532 inG1722 theG3588 wayG3598 heG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846,
18BeholdG2400, weG2532 goG305 upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414; andG2532 theG3588 SonG5207 ofG5207 manG444 shallG444 beG2532 deliveredG3860 unto theG3588 chiefG749 priestsG749 andG2532 scribesG1122; andG2532 theyG846 shallG444 condemnG2632 himG846 toG1519 deathG2288,
19andG2532 shallG2532 deliverG3860 himG846 unto theG3588 GentilesG1484 toG1519 mockG1702, andG2532 toG1519 scourgeG3146, andG2532 toG1519 crucifyG4717: andG2532 theG3588 thirdG5154 dayG2250 heG2532 shallG2532 beG2532 raisedG1453 upG1453.
20ThenG2532 cameG4334 toG2532 himG846 theG3588 motherG3384 ofG5207 theG3588 sonsG5207 ofG5207 ZebedeeG2199 withG3326 herG846 sonsG5207, worshipping himG846, andG2532 askingG154 a certainG5100 thingG846 ofG5207 himG846.
21AndG2532 heG2532 saidG3004 unto herG846, WhatG5101 wouldest thou? SheG846 saith unto himG846, CommandG3004 thatG2443 theseG3778 myG1722 twoG1417 sonsG5207 mayG2532 sitG2523, oneG1520 onG1722 thy rightG1188 handG1188, andG2532 oneG1520 onG1722 thy leftG2176 handG1188, inG1722 thy kingdomG932.
22ButG1161 JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG1161 saidG3004, Ye knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 ye askG154. Are ye ableG1410 toG3004 drinkG4095 theG3588 cupG4221 thatG3739 IG1473 amG3195 aboutG3195 toG3004 drinkG4095? TheyG846 sayG3004 unto himG846, WeG3739 are ableG1410.
23HeG2532 saith unto themG846, MyG1699 cupG4221 indeedG2532 ye shallG3778 drinkG4095: butG1161 toG3004 sitG2523 onG1537 myG1699 rightG1188 handG1188, andG2532 onG1537 myG1699 leftG2176 handG1188, isG1510 notG3756 mineG1699 toG3004 giveG1325, butG1161 itG846 isG1510 forG2090 themG846 forG2090 whomG3739 itG846 hath beenG1510 preparedG2090 ofG1537 myG1699 FatherG3962.
24AndG2532 whenG2532 theG3588 tenG1176 heardG191 itG191, theyG2532 were moved withG2532 indignation concerningG4012 theG3588 twoG1417 brethrenG80.
