dourh - Matthew:20:1-16

dourh@Matthew:20:1 @ The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

dourh@Matthew:20:2 @ And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

dourh@Matthew:20:3 @ And going about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place idle.

dourh@Matthew:20:4 @ And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just.

dourh@Matthew:20:5 @ And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner.

dourh@Matthew:20:6 @ But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle?

dourh@Matthew:20:7 @ They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go you also into my vineyard.

dourh@Matthew:20:8 @ And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first.

dourh@Matthew:20:9 @ When therefore they were come, that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

dourh@Matthew:20:10 @ But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: and they also received every man a penny.

dourh@Matthew:20:11 @ And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,

dourh@Matthew:20:12 @ Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats.

dourh@Matthew:20:13 @ But he answering said to one of them: Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?

dourh@Matthew:20:14 @ Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee.

dourh@Matthew:20:15 @ Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good?

dourh@Matthew:20:16 @ So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.
