“And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the market place;
and to them he said, Go also ye into the vineyard, and whatsoever may be just I will give you. And they went their way.
and to those he said, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ And so they went.
Again, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.
“Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did the same thing.
But about the eleventh [hour], having gone out, he found others standing, and says to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

And on receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,
“When they received it, they grumbled at the landowner,
saying, These last have worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the heat.
saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’
But he answering said to one of them, [My] friend, I do not wrong thee. Didst thou not agree with me for a denarius?
“But he answered and said to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius?
Take what is thine and go. But it is my will to give to this last even as to thee:
‘Take what is yours and go, but I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.
is it not lawful for me to do what I will in my own affairs? Is thine eye evil because *I* am good?
‘Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or is your eye envious because I am generous?’
Thus shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called ones, but few chosen ones.
“So the last shall be first, and the first last.”

Preferment Asked

And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit one on Your right and one on Your left.”

[And] he says to them, Ye shall drink indeed my cup, but to sit on my right hand and on [my] left, is not mine to give, but to those for whom it is prepared of my Father.
He said to them, “My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.”

It shall not be thus amongst you, but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your servant;
“It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant,
and whosoever will be first among you, let him be your bondman;
and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave;
as indeed the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
