Matthew 20:8-16

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.
