Matthew 20:1-16

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>_.
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}
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>_,
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)_.
Again
<3825>
he went out
<1831> (5631)
about
<4012>
the sixth
<1623>
and
<2532>
ninth
<1766>
hour
<5610>_,
and did
<4160> (5656)
likewise
<5615>_.
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>_?
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)_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
And
<1161>
when they had received
<2983> (5631)
[it], they murmured
<1111> (5707)
against
<2596>
the goodman of the house
<3617>_,
<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}
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>_?
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>_.
<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>_?
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>_.
