Matthew 20:2-24

2AndG1161 when he had agreedG4856 withG3326 the labourersG2040 forG1537 a pennyG1220 a dayG2250, he sentG649 themG846 intoG1519 hisG846 vineyardG290.1 3AndG2532 he went outG1831 aboutG4012 the thirdG5154 hourG5610, and sawG1492 othersG243 standingG2476 idleG692 inG1722 the marketplaceG58, 4And saidG2036 to themG2548; GoG5217 yeG5210 alsoG2532 intoG1519 the vineyardG290, andG2532 whateverG3739G1437 isG5600 rightG1342 I will giveG1325 youG5213. AndG1161 they wentG565. 5AgainG3825 he went outG1831 aboutG4012 the sixthG1623 andG2532 ninthG1766 hourG5610, and didG4160 the sameG5615. 6AndG1161 aboutG4012 the eleventhG1734 hourG5610 he went outG1831, and foundG2147 othersG243 standingG2476 idleG692, andG2532 saithG3004 to themG846, WhyG5101 stand yeG2476 hereG5602 allG3650 the dayG2250 idleG692? 7They sayG3004 to himG846, BecauseG3754 no manG3762 hath hiredG3409 usG2248. He saithG3004 to themG846, GoG5217 yeG5210 alsoG2532 intoG1519 the vineyardG290; andG2532 whateverG3739G1437 isG5600 rightG1342, that shall ye receiveG2983. 8SoG1161 when eveningG3798 was comeG1096, the lordG2962 of the vineyardG290 saithG3004 to hisG846 stewardG2012, CallG2564 the labourersG2040, andG2532 giveG591 themG846 their hireG3408, beginningG756 fromG575 the lastG2078 toG2193 the firstG4413. 9AndG2532 when they cameG2064 that were hired aboutG4012 the eleventhG1734 hourG5610, they receivedG2983 every manG303 a pennyG1220. 10ButG1161 when the firstG4413 cameG2064, they supposedG3543 thatG3754 they should receiveG2983 moreG4119; andG2532 they likewiseG2532 receivedG2983 every manG846G303 a pennyG1220. 11AndG1161 when they had receivedG2983 it, they murmuredG1111 againstG2596 the master of the houseG3617, 12SayingG3004, TheseG3778 lastG2078 have workedG4160 but oneG3391 hourG5610, andG2532 thou hast madeG4160 themG846 equalG2470 to usG2254, whoG3588 have borneG941 the burdenG922 andG2532 heatG2742 of the dayG2250.2 13ButG1161 he answeredG611 oneG1520 of themG846, and saidG2036, FriendG2083, I doG91 theeG4571 noG3756 wrongG91: didstG4856 thou notG3780 agreeG4856 with meG3427 for a pennyG1220? 14TakeG142 that which is thineG4674, andG2532 go thy wayG5217: I willG2309 giveG1325 to thisG5129 lastG2078, evenG2532 asG5613 to theeG4671. 15Is it notG3756 lawfulG1832 for meG3427 to doG4160 whatG3739 I willG2309 withG1722 my ownG1699? IsG2076 thyG4675 eyeG3788 evilG4190, becauseG3754 IG1473 amG1510 goodG18? 16SoG3779 the lastG2078 shall beG2071 firstG4413, andG2532 the firstG4413 lastG2078: forG1063 manyG4183 areG1526 calledG2822, butG1161 fewG3641 chosenG1588.

17AndG2532 JesusG2424 going upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414 tookG3880 the twelveG1427 disciplesG3101 asideG2596G2398 inG1722 the wayG3598, andG2532 saidG2036 to themG846, 18BeholdG2400, we go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414; andG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall be betrayedG3860 to the chief priestsG749 andG2532 to the scribesG1122, andG2532 they shall condemnG2632 himG846 to deathG2288, 19AndG2532 shall deliverG3860 himG846 to the GentilesG1484 toG1519 mockG1702, andG2532 to scourgeG3146, andG2532 to crucifyG4717 him : andG2532 the thirdG5154 dayG2250 he shall rise againG450.

20ThenG5119 cameG4334 to himG846 the motherG3384 of Zebedee’sG2199 childrenG5207 withG3326 herG846 sonsG5207, worshippingG4352 him, andG2532 desiringG154 a certainG5100 thingG3844 of himG846. 21AndG1161 he saidG2036 to herG846, WhatG5101 wilt thouG2309? She saithG3004 to himG846, GrantG2036 thatG2443 theseG3778 myG3450 twoG1417 sonsG5207 may sitG2523, the oneG1520 onG1537 thyG4675 right handG1188, andG2532 the otherG1520 onG1537 the leftG2176, inG1722 thyG4675 kingdomG932. 22ButG1161 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036, Ye knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 ye askG154. Are ye ableG1410 to drinkG4095 of the cupG4221 thatG3739 IG1473 shallG3195 drink ofG4095, andG2532 to be baptizedG907 with the baptismG908 thatG3739 IG1473 am baptized withG907? They sayG3004 to himG846, We are ableG1410. 23AndG2532 he saithG3004 to themG846, Ye shall drinkG4095 indeedG3303 of myG3450 cupG4221, andG2532 be baptizedG907 with the baptismG908 thatG3739 IG1473 am baptized withG907: butG1161 to sitG2523 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188, andG2532 onG1537 myG3450 leftG2176, isG2076 notG3756 mineG1699 to giveG1325, butG235 it shall be given to them for whomG3739 it is preparedG2090 byG5259 myG3450 FatherG3962. 24AndG2532 when the tenG1176 heardG191 it, they were moved with indignationG23 againstG4012 the twoG1417 brethrenG80.
