Matthew 20:1-16

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>_?

20:7

They say
<3004> (5719)

unto him
<846>_,

Because
<3754>

no man
<3762>

hath hired
<3409> (5668)

us
<2248>_.

He saith
<3004> (5719)

unto them
<846>_,

Go
<5217> (5720)

ye
<5210>

also
<2532>

into
<1519>

the vineyard
<290>_;

and
<2532>

whatsoever
<3739> <1437>

is
<5600> (5753)

right
<1342>_,

[that] shall ye receive
<2983> (5695)_.

20:8

So
<1161>

when even
<3798>

was come
<1096> (5637)_,

the lord
<2962>

of the vineyard
<290>

saith
<3004> (5719)

unto his
<846>

steward
<2012>_,

Call
<2564> (5657)

the labourers
<2040>_,

and
<2532>

give
<591> (5628)

them
<846>

[their] hire
<3408>_,

beginning
<756> (5671)

from
<575>

the last
<2078>

unto
<2193>

the first
<4413>_.

20:9

And
<2532>

when they came
<2064> (5631)

that [were hired] about
<4012>

the eleventh
<1734>

hour
<5610>_,

they received
<2983> (5627)

every man
<303>

a penny
<1220>_.

20:10

But
<1161>

when the first
<4413>

came
<2064> (5631)_,

they supposed
<3543> (5656)

that
<3754>

they should have received
<2983> (5695)

more
<4119>_;

and
<2532>

they likewise
<2532>

received
<2983> (5627)

every man
<846> <303>

a penny
<1220>_.

20:11

And
<1161>

when they had received
<2983> (5631)

[it], they murmured
<1111> (5707)

against
<2596>

the goodman of the house
<3617>_,

20:12

<3754>@ Saying
<3004> (5723)_,

These
<3778>

last
<2078>

have wrought
<4160> (5656)

[but] one
<3391>

hour
<5610>_,

and
<2532>

thou hast made
<4160> (5656)

them
<846>

equal
<2470>

unto us
<2254>_,

which
<3588>

have borne
<941> (5660)

the burden
<922>

and
<2532>

heat
<2742>

of the day
<2250>_.

{have wrought...: or, have continued one hour only}

20:13

But
<1161>

he answered
<611> (5679)

one
<1520>

of them
<846>_,

and said
<2036> (5627)_,

Friend
<2083>_,

I do
<91> (0)

thee
<4571>

no
<3756>

wrong
<91> (5719)_:

didst
<4856> (0)

not
<3780>

thou agree
<4856> (5656)

with me
<3427>

for a penny
<1220>_?

20:14

Take
<142> (5657)

[that] thine
<4674>

[is], and
<2532>

go thy way
<5217> (5720)_:

<1161>

I will
<2309> (5719)

give
<1325> (5629)

unto this
<5129>

last
<2078>_,

even
<2532>

as
<5613>

unto thee
<4671>_.

20:15

<2228>@ Is it not
<3756>

lawful
<1832> (5748)

for me
<3427>

to do
<4160> (5658)

what
<3739>

I will
<2309> (5719) (5725)

with
<1722>

mine own
<1699>_?

<1487>

Is
<2076> (5748)

thine
<4675>

eye
<3788>

evil
<4190>_,

because
<3754>

I
<1473>

am
<1510> (5748)

good
<18>_?

20:16

So
<3779>

the last
<2078>

shall be
<2071> (5704)

first
<4413>_,

and
<2532>

the first
<4413>

last
<2078>_:

for
<1063>

many
<4183>

be
<1526> (5748)

called
<2822>_,

but
<1161>

few
<3641>

chosen
<1588>_.
