gltv Matthew:20:1-16
gltv@Matthew:20:1 @ For the kingdom of Heaven is like a man, a housemaster, who went out when it was early to hire workers into his vineyard.
gltv@Matthew:20:2 @ And agreeing with the workers for a denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard.
gltv@Matthew:20:3 @ And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the market.
gltv@Matthew:20:4 @ And he said to them, You also go into the vineyard, and I will give you whatever is just. And they went.
gltv@Matthew:20:5 @ Again, going out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did the same.
gltv@Matthew:20:6 @ And going out about the eleventh hour, he found others standing idle, and said to them, Why do you stand here idle all day?
gltv@Matthew:20:7 @ They said to him, Because no one has hired us. He said to them, You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is just.
gltv@Matthew:20:8 @ But evening coming, the Lord of the vineyard said to his manager, Call the workers and pay them the wage, beginning from the last to the first.
gltv@Matthew:20:9 @ And the ones coming the eleventh hour each received a denarius.
gltv@Matthew:20:10 @ And coming, the first supposed that they would receive more. And they also each received a denarius.
gltv@Matthew:20:11 @ And receiving it, they murmured against the housemaster,
gltv@Matthew:20:12 @ saying, These last have performed one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.
gltv@Matthew:20:13 @ But answering, he said to one of them, Friend, I am not unjust to you. Did you not agree to a denarius with me?
gltv@Matthew:20:14 @ Take yours and go. But I desire to give to this last as also to you.
gltv@Matthew:20:15 @ Or is it not lawful for me to do what I desire with my things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?
gltv@Matthew:20:16 @ So the last shall be first, and the first last; for many are called, but few chosen.
