Matthew 20
1 FOR the kingdom of heaven is like a man, the master of a family, who went out at break of day, to hire labourers into his vineyard.
ομοια γαρ εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω οικοδεσποτη οστις εξηλθεν αμα πρωι μισθωσασθαι εργατας εις τον αμπελωνα αυτου
2 And when he had agreed with the labourers at a denarius a day, he sent them into the vineyard.
και συμφωνησας μετα των εργατων εκ δηναριου την ημεραν απεστειλεν αυτους εις τον αμπελωνα αυτου
3 And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place unemployed.
και εξελθων περι τριτην ωραν ειδεν αλλους εστωτας εν τη αγορα αργους
4 And he said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatever is equitable, I will give it you. So they went.
και εκεινοις ειπεν υπαγετε και υμεις εις τον αμπελωνα και ο εαν η δικαιον δωσω υμιν
5 Again going out, about the sixth and ninth hour, he did after the same manner.
οι δε απηλθον παλιν εξελθων περι εκτην και ενατην ωραν εποιησεν ωσαυτως
6 But about the eleventh hour, going out, he found others standing unemployed, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
περι δε την ενδεκατην ωραν εξελθων ευρεν αλλους εστωτας αργους και λεγει αυτοις τι ωδε εστηκατε ολην την ημεραν αργοι
7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is equitable, ye shall receive.
λεγουσιν αυτω οτι ουδεις ημας εμισθωσατο λεγει αυτοις υπαγετε και υμεις εις τον αμπελωνα και ο εαν η δικαιον ληψεσθε
8 Now when the evening came, the master of the vineyard said to his overseer, Call the labourers, and give them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.
οψιας δε γενομενης λεγει ο κυριος του αμπελωνος τω επιτροπω αυτου καλεσον τους εργατας και αποδος αυτοις τον μισθον αρξαμενος απο των εσχατων εως των πρωτων
9 And when they came, who began about the eleventh hour, they received each a denarius.
και ελθοντες οι περι την ενδεκατην ωραν ελαβον ανα δηναριον
10 But when the first came, they expected that they should receive more; and they also received every man a denarius.
ελθοντες δε οι πρωτοι ενομισαν οτι πλειονα ληψονται και ελαβον και αυτοι ανα δηναριον
11 But when they received it, they murmured against the master of the family:
λαβοντες δε εγογγυζον κατα του οικοδεσποτου
12 saying, These last have wrought only a single hour, and thou hast put them on an equality with us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.
λεγοντες οτι ουτοι οι εσχατοι μιαν ωραν εποιησαν και ισους ημιν αυτους εποιησας τοις βαστασασιν το βαρος της ημερας και τον καυσωνα
13 But he answering, said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no injustice; did I not agree with thee for a denarius?
ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ενι αυτων εταιρε ουκ αδικω σε ουχι δηναριου συνεφωνησας μοι
14 Take then thine own, and begone: I chuse to give to this last even as to thee.
αρον το σον και υπαγε θελω δε τουτω τω εσχατω δουναι ως και σοι
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
η ουκ εξεστιν μοι ποιησαι ο θελω εν τοις εμοις ει ο οφθαλμος σου πονηρος εστιν οτι εγω αγαθος ειμι
16 Thus shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called, but the elect are few.
ουτως εσονται οι εσχατοι πρωτοι και οι πρωτοι εσχατοι πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι
17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took his twelve disciples aside on the road, and said to them;
και αναβαινων ο ιησους εις ιεροσολυμα παρελαβεν τους δωδεκα μαθητας κατ ιδιαν εν τη οδω και ειπεν αυτοις
18 Lo! we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
ιδου αναβαινομεν εις ιεροσολυμα και ο υιος του ανθρωπου παραδοθησεται τοις αρχιερευσιν και γραμματευσιν και κατακρινουσιν αυτον θανατω
19 and shall deliver him to the Gentiles, to insult, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall rise again.
και παραδωσουσιν αυτον τοις εθνεσιν εις το εμπαιξαι και μαστιγωσαι και σταυρωσαι και τη τριτη ημερα αναστησεται
20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children, with her sons, paying him obeisance, and petitioning a favour of him.
τοτε προσηλθεν αυτω η μητηρ των υιων ζεβεδαιου μετα των υιων αυτης προσκυνουσα και αιτουσα τι παρ αυτου
21 Then he said to her, What is thy wish? She saith unto him, Tell me that these my two sons shall sit, the one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left, in thy kingdom.
ο δε ειπεν αυτη τι θελεις λεγει αυτω ειπε ινα καθισωσιν ουτοι οι δυο υιοι μου εις εκ δεξιων σου και εις εξ ευωνυμων σου εν τη βασιλεια σου
22 Then Jesus answering said, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup that I am going to drink, and be baptised with the baptism with which I am baptised? They say unto him, We are able.
αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν ουκ οιδατε τι αιτεισθε δυνασθε πιειν το ποτηριον ο εγω μελλω πινειν η το βαπτισμα ο εγω βαπτιζομαι βαπτισθηναι λεγουσιν αυτω δυναμεθα
23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of my cup, and with the baptism with which I am baptised, shall ye be baptised; but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, it is not in my power to bestow, but on those, for whom it was prepared by my Father.
και λεγει αυτοις το μεν ποτηριον μου πιεσθε και το βαπτισμα ο εγω βαπτιζομαι βαπτισθησεσθε το δε καθισαι εκ δεξιων μου και εξ ευωνυμων μου ουκ εστιν εμον δουναι αλλ οις ητοιμασται υπο του πατρος μου
24 And the twelve, on hearing this, were filled with indignation against the two brethren.
και ακουσαντες οι δεκα ηγανακτησαν περι των δυο αδελφων
25 But Jesus, calling them to him, said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority among them.
ο δε ιησους προσκαλεσαμενος αυτους ειπεν οιδατε οτι οι αρχοντες των εθνων κατακυριευουσιν αυτων και οι μεγαλοι κατεξουσιαζουσιν αυτων
26 But thus shall it not be with you. But whosoever will be a great man among you, let him be your servant;
ουχ ουτως δε εσται εν υμιν αλλ ος εαν θελη εν υμιν μεγας γενεσθαι εσται υμων διακονος
27 and whosoever will be first, let him be your slave.
και ος εαν θελη εν υμιν ειναι πρωτος εστω υμων δουλος
28 Even as the Son of man came not to be waited upon, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
ωσπερ ο υιος του ανθρωπου ουκ ηλθεν διακονηθηναι αλλα διακονησαι και δουναι την ψυχην αυτου λυτρον αντι πολλων
29 And as they were going out of Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
και εκπορευομενων αυτων απο ιεριχω ηκολουθησεν αυτω οχλος πολυς
30 And, behold, two blind men sat by the road side, who hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, son of David!
και ιδου δυο τυφλοι καθημενοι παρα την οδον ακουσαντες οτι ιησους παραγει εκραξαν λεγοντες ελεησον ημας κυριε υιος δαυιδ
31 And the multitude checked them, that they should be silent; but they cried out the more, Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.
ο δε οχλος επετιμησεν αυτοις ινα σιωπησωσιν οι δε μειζον εκραζον λεγοντες ελεησον ημας κυριε υιος δαυιδ
32 And Jesus standing called them, and said, What desire ye, that I should do for you?
και στας ο ιησους εφωνησεν αυτους και ειπεν τι θελετε ποιησω υμιν
33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
λεγουσιν αυτω κυριε ινα ανοιχθωσιν ημων οι οφθαλμοι
34 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes recovered sight, and they followed him.
σπλαγχνισθεις δε ο ιησους ηψατο των οφθαλμων αυτων και ευθεως ανεβλεψαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι και ηκολουθησαν αυτω
