Matthew 20:1-6

20:1

For
<1063>

the kingdom
<932>

of heaven
<3772>

is
<2076> (5748)

like
<3664>

unto a man
<444>

[that is] an householder
<3617>_,

which
<3748>

went out
<1831> (5627)

early in the morning
<260> <4404>

to hire
<3409> (5670)

labourers
<2040>

into
<1519>

his
<846>

vineyard
<290>_.

20:2

And
<1161>

when he had agreed
<4856> (5660)

with
<3326>

the labourers
<2040>

for
<1537>

a penny
<1220>

a day
<2250>_,

he sent
<649> (5656)

them
<846>

into
<1519>

his
<846>

vineyard
<290>_.

{penny: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents}

20:3

And
<2532>

he went out
<1831> (5631)

about
<4012>

the third
<5154>

hour
<5610>_,

and saw
<1492> (5627)

others
<243>

standing
<2476> (5761)

idle
<692>

in
<1722>

the marketplace
<58>_,

20:4

And said
<2036> (5627)

unto them
<2548>_;

Go
<5217> (5720)

ye
<5210>

also
<2532>

into
<1519>

the vineyard
<290>_,

and
<2532>

whatsoever
<3739> <1437>

is
<5600> (5753)

right
<1342>

I will give
<1325> (5692)

you
<5213>_.

And
<1161>

they went their way
<565> (5627)_.

20:5

Again
<3825>

he went out
<1831> (5631)

about
<4012>

the sixth
<1623>

and
<2532>

ninth
<1766>

hour
<5610>_,

and did
<4160> (5656)

likewise
<5615>_.

20:6

And
<1161>

about
<4012>

the eleventh
<1734>

hour
<5610>

he went out
<1831> (5631)_,

and found
<2147> (5627)

others
<243>

standing
<2476> (5761)

idle
<692>_,

and
<2532>

saith
<3004> (5719)

unto them
<846>_,

Why
<5101>

stand ye
<2476> (5758)

here
<5602>

all
<3650>

the day
<2250>

idle
<692>_?
