Matthew 20
1 For the kingdom of the heavens, is like, a man, a householder, —who went forth with the morning, to hire labourers into his vineyard;
Ὁμοία γάρ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδεσπότῃ ὅστις ἐξῆλθεν ἅμα πρωῒ μισθώσασθαι ἐργάτας εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα αὐτοῦ.
2 and, when he had agreed with the labourers for a denary the day, he sent them into his vineyard.
⸂συμφωνήσας δὲ μετὰ τῶν ἐργατῶν ἐκ δηναρίου τὴν ἡμέραν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα αὐτοῦ.
3 And, going forth about the third hour, he saw others, standing in the market-place, unemployed;
καὶ ἐξελθὼν περὶ τρίτην ὥραν εἶδεν ἄλλους ἑστῶτας ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ ἀργούς·
4 and, to them, he said—ye also, go your way into the vineyard, and, whatsoever may be right, I will give you;
καὶ ἐκείνοις εἶπεν· Ὑπάγετε καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν ᾖ δίκαιον δώσω ὑμῖν·
5 and, they, departed. And, again, going forth about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.
οἱ δὲ ἀπῆλθον. ⸀πάλινἐξελθὼν περὶ ἕκτην καὶ ἐνάτην ὥραν ἐποίησεν ὡσαύτως.
6 And, about the eleventh, going forth, he found others, standing, and saith unto them—Why, here, stand ye, all the day, unemployed?
περὶ δὲ τὴν ⸀ἑνδεκάτηνἐξελθὼν εὗρεν ἄλλους ⸀ἑστῶτας καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Τί ὧδε ἑστήκατε ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἀργοί;
7 They say unto him—Because, no one, hath hired, us. He saith unto them—Ye also, go your way into the vineyard.
λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἡμᾶς ἐμισθώσατο. λέγει αὐτοῖς· Ὑπάγετε καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν ⸀ἀμπελῶνα
8 And, when evening came, the master of the vineyard saith unto his steward—Call the labourers, and pay the hire, —beginning from the last, unto the first.
ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης λέγει ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος τῷ ἐπιτρόπῳ αὐτοῦ· Κάλεσον τοὺς ἐργάτας καὶ ἀπόδος ⸀αὐτοῖςτὸν μισθὸν ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῶν ἐσχάτων ἕως τῶν πρώτων.
9 And they of the eleventh hour, coming, received severally a denary.
⸂καὶ ἐλθόντες οἱ περὶ τὴν ἑνδεκάτην ὥραν ἔλαβον ἀνὰ δηνάριον.
10 And, when the first came, they supposed that, more, they should receive, —and, they also, received severally a denary.
⸂καὶ ἐλθόντες οἱ πρῶτοι ἐνόμισαν ὅτι ⸀πλεῖονλήμψονται· καὶ ἔλαβον ⸂τὸ ἀνὰ δηνάριον καὶ αὐτοί.
11 And, having received it, they began to murmur against the householder, saying—
λαβόντες δὲ ἐγόγγυζον κατὰ τοῦ οἰκοδεσπότου
12 These last, one hour, wrought, and thou hast made them, equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day, and the scorching heat.
⸀λέγοντες Οὗτοι οἱ ἔσχατοι μίαν ὥραν ἐποίησαν, καὶ ἴσους ⸂αὐτοὺς ἡμῖν ἐποίησας τοῖς βαστάσασι τὸ βάρος τῆς ἡμέρας καὶ τὸν καύσωνα.
13 And, he, answering, unto one of them, said, —Friend! I wrong thee not: Was it not, for a denary, thou didst agree with me?
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς ⸂ἑνὶ αὐτῶν εἶπεν· Ἑταῖρε, οὐκ ἀδικῶ σε· οὐχὶ δηναρίου συνεφώνησάς μοι;
14 Take thine own, and go thy way; but I please, unto this last, to give, as also to thee:
ἆρον τὸ σὸν καὶ ὕπαγε· θέλω δὲ τούτῳ τῷ ἐσχάτῳ δοῦναι ὡς καὶ σοί·
15 Is it not allowed me to do, what I please, with my own? or is, thine eye, evil, because I good?
⸀οὐκἔξεστίν μοι ⸂ὃ θέλω ποιῆσαι ἐν τοῖς ἐμοῖς; ⸀ἢὁ ὀφθαλμός σου πονηρός ἐστιν ὅτι ἐγὼ ἀγαθός εἰμι;
16 Thus, shall be—The last first, and the first last.
οὕτως ἔσονται οἱ ἔσχατοιπρῶτοι καὶ οἱ πρῶτοι ⸀ἔσχατοι.
17 And, Jesus, being about to go up unto Jerusalem, took unto him the twelve [disciples], apart, and, in the way, he said unto them—
⸂Καὶ ἀναβαίνων ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα παρέλαβεν τοὺς δώδεκα ⸀μαθητὰςκατʼ ἰδίαν, ⸂καὶ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς·
18 Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem; and, the Son of Man, will be delivered up unto the chief-priests and Scribes, and they will condemn him, [to death],
Ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδοθήσεται τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καὶ γραμματεῦσιν, καὶ κατακρινοῦσιν αὐτὸν θανάτῳ,
19 And deliver him up unto the nations, to mock and to scourge and to crucify, —and, on the third day, he will, arise.
καὶ παραδώσουσιν αὐτὸν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν εἰς τὸ ἐμπαῖξαι καὶ μαστιγῶσαι καὶ σταυρῶσαι, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ⸀ἐγερθήσεται
20 Then came unto him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down, and asking something from him.
Τότε προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ τῶν υἱῶν Ζεβεδαίου μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῆς προσκυνοῦσα καὶ αἰτοῦσά τι ⸀παρʼαὐτοῦ.
21 And, he, said to her—What desirest thou? She saith unto him—Bid, that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy kingdom.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· Τί θέλεις; λέγει αὐτῷ· Εἰπὲ ἵνα καθίσωσιν οὗτοι οἱ δύο υἱοί μου εἷς ἐκ δεξιῶν ⸀σουκαὶ εἷς ἐξ εὐωνύμων σου ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ σου.
22 But Jesus, answering, said—Ye know not what ye are asking: Are ye able to drink the cup, which, I, am about to drink; They say unto him—We are able.
ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· Οὐκ οἴδατε τί αἰτεῖσθε· δύνασθε πιεῖν τὸ ποτήριον ὃ ἐγὼ μέλλω ⸀πίνειν λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Δυνάμεθα.
23 He saith unto them—My cup, indeed, ye shall drink; but, to sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, —except unto those for whom it hath been prepared by my Father.
⸀λέγειαὐτοῖς· Τὸ μὲν ποτήριόν μου ⸀πίεσθε τὸ δὲ καθίσαι ἐκ δεξιῶν μου καὶ ἐξ ⸀εὐωνύμωνοὐκ ἔστιν ⸀ἐμὸνδοῦναι, ἀλλʼ οἷς ἡτοίμασται ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρός μου.
24 And the ten, hearing, were sorely displeased, concerning the two brethren.
Καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ δέκα ἠγανάκτησαν περὶ τῶν δύο ἀδελφῶν.
25 But, Jesus, calling them near, said—Ye know that, the rulers of the nations, lord it over them, and, the great ones, wield authority over them:
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτοὺς εἶπεν· Οἴδατε ὅτι οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἐθνῶν κατακυριεύουσιν αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ μεγάλοι κατεξουσιάζουσιν αὐτῶν.
26 Not so, is it, among you, —but, whosoever shall desire, among you, to become, great, shall be, your minister;
οὐχ οὕτως ⸀ἔσταιἐν ὑμῖν· ἀλλʼ ὃς ⸀ἂνθέλῃ ἐν ὑμῖν μέγας γενέσθαι ἔσται ὑμῶν διάκονος,
27 And, whosoever shall desire, among you, to be first, shall be, your servant: —
καὶ ὃς ⸀ἂνθέλῃ ἐν ὑμῖν εἶναι πρῶτος ⸀ἔσταιὑμῶν δοῦλος·
28 Just as, the Son of Man, came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom instead of many.
ὥσπερ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἦλθεν διακονηθῆναι ἀλλὰ διακονῆσαι καὶ δοῦναι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ λύτρον ἀντὶ πολλῶν.
29 And, as they were going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude;
Καὶ ἐκπορευομένων αὐτῶν ἀπὸ Ἰεριχὼ ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ ὄχλος πολύς.
30 and lo! two blind men, sitting beside the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried aloud saying—Lord! have mercy on us! Son of David!
καὶ ἰδοὺ δύο τυφλοὶ καθήμενοι παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν, ἀκούσαντες ὅτι Ἰησοῦς παράγει, ἔκραξαν λέγοντες· ⸂Κύριε, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς⸃, ⸀υἱὸς Δαυίδ.
31 But the multitude rebuked them, that they might hold their peace. But, they, the more, cried aloud, saying—Lord, have mercy on us! Son of David!
ὁ δὲ ὄχλος ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα σιωπήσωσιν· οἱ δὲ μεῖζον ⸀ἔκραξανλέγοντες· ⸂Κύριε, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς⸃, ⸀υἱὸς Δαυίδ.
32 And, standing still, Jesus called them, and said—What desire ye I should do for you?
καὶ στὰς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐφώνησεν αὐτοὺς καὶ εἶπεν· Τί θέλετε ποιήσω ὑμῖν;
33 They say unto him—Lord! that, our eyes, may open.
λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Κύριε, ἵνα ⸂ἀνοιγῶσιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν.
34 And, moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, —and, straightway, they recovered sight, and followed him.
σπλαγχνισθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἥψατο τῶν ⸀ὀμμάτωναὐτῶν, καὶ εὐθέως ⸀ἀνέβλεψανκαὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ.
