Matthew:20:1 @'
For the reign of the heavens is like to a man ,
a householder ,
who went forth with the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard ,
ylt @
Matthew:20:2 @
and having agreed with the workmen for a denary a day ,
he sent them into his vineyard .
ylt @
Matthew:20:3 @'
And having gone forth about the third hour ,
he saw others standing in the market-place idle ,
ylt @
Matthew:20:4 @
and to these he said ,
Go ye --
also ye --
to the vineyard ,
and whatever may be righteous I will give you ;
ylt @
Matthew:20:5 @
and they went away . '
Again ,
having gone forth about the sixth and the ninth hour ,
he did in like manner .
ylt @
Matthew:20:6 @
And about the eleventh hour ,
having gone forth ,
he found others standing idle ,
and saith to them ,
Why here have ye stood all the day idle ?
ylt @
Matthew:20:7 @
they say to him ,
Because no one did hire us ;
he saith to them ,
Go ye --
ye also --
to the vineyard ,
and whatever may be righteous ye shall receive .
ylt @
Matthew:20:8 @'
And evening having come ,
the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward ,
Call the workmen ,
and pay them the reward ,
having begun from the last --
unto the first .
ylt @
Matthew:20:9 @
And they of about the eleventh hour having come ,
did receive each a denary .
ylt @
Matthew:20:10 @'
And the first having come ,
did suppose that they shall receive more ,
and they received ,
they also ,
each a denary ,
ylt @
Matthew:20:11 @
and having received [
it ],
they were murmuring against the householder ,
saying ,
ylt @
Matthew:20:12 @
that These ,
the last ,
wrought one hour ,
and thou didst make them equal to us ,
who were bearing the burden of the day --
and the heat .
ylt @
Matthew:20:13 @'
And he answering said to one of them ,
Comrade ,
I do no unrighteousness to thee ;
for a denary didst not thou agree with me ?
ylt @
Matthew:20:14 @
take that which is thine ,
and go ;
and I will to give to this ,
the last ,
also as to thee ;
ylt @
Matthew:20:15 @
is it not lawful to me to do what I will in mine own ?
is thine eye evil because I am good ?
ylt @
Matthew:20:16 @
So the last shall be first ,
and the first last ,
for many are called ,
and few chosen .'
