The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard
“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
The Parable of the Vineyard Workers
For the kingdom of the heavens is like a householder who went out with the early morn to hire workmen for his vineyard.
For the kingdom of the heavens is like a householder who went out with the early morn to hire workmen for his vineyard.
And having agreed with the workmen for a denarius the day, he sent them into his vineyard.
“About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.
And having gone out about [the] third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle;
He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’
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.
So they went.
“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing.
“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing.
Again, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.
About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’
But about the eleventh [hour], having gone out, he found others standing, and says to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
“ ‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered.
“He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’
“He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’
They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, Go also ye into the vineyard [and whatsoever may be just ye shall receive].
“When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’
But when the evening was come, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the workmen and pay [them] their wages, beginning from the last even to the first.
“The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius.
And when they [who came to work] about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius.
So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius.
And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they received also themselves each a denarius.
When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner.
And on receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,
‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’
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.
“But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius?
But he answering said to one of them, [My] friend, I do not wrong thee. Didst thou not agree with me for a denarius?
Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you.
Take what is thine and go. But it is my will to give to this last even as to thee:
Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
is it not lawful for me to do what I will in my own affairs? Is thine eye evil because *I* am good?
“So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
Thus shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called ones, but few chosen ones.

“We can,” they answered.
“We can,” they answered.
And Jesus answering said, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup which *I* am about to drink? They say to him, We are able.
Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”
[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.

Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
It shall not be thus amongst you, but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your servant;
and whoever wants to be first must be your slave —
and whosoever will be first among you, let him be your bondman;
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
as indeed the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
