Matthew 20

1 For the gospel-kingdom is like the master of a family, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard:

ομοια γαρ εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω οικοδεσποτη οστις εξηλθεν αμα πρωι μισθωσασθαι εργατας εις τον αμπελωνα αυτου

2 and agreeing with the men for a penny a day, he sent them into his 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 doing nothing,

και εξελθων περι τριτην ωραν ειδεν αλλους εστωτας εν τη αγορα αργους

4 and said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and what is reasonable I will give you: so they went.

και εκεινοις ειπεν υπαγετε και υμεις εις τον αμπελωνα και ο εαν η δικαιον δωσω υμιν

5 And going out again about the sixth and ninth hour he did in like manner.

οι δε απηλθον παλιν εξελθων περι εκτην και ενατην ωραν εποιησεν ωσαυτως

6 And going out about the eleventh hour, he found others standing without work, and saith to them, Why stand ye here all the day doing nothing?

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 one hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatever is reasonable 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 evening was come, the owner of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the work-men and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even 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 those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every one a penny:

και ελθοντες οι περι την ενδεκατην ωραν ελαβον ανα δηναριον

10 but when the first came, they thought that they should receive more; and they also received every one a penny.

ελθοντες δε οι πρωτοι ενομισαν οτι πλειονα ληψονται και ελαβον και αυτοι ανα δηναριον

11 And after they had received it they murmured against the master of the house,

λαβοντες δε εγογγυζον κατα του οικοδεσποτου

12 saying, These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burthen 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 answered, and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ενι αυτων εταιρε ουκ αδικω σε ουχι δηναριου συνεφωνησας μοι

14 Take what is thine, and be gone: it is my pleasure to give to this last as I do to thee;

αρον το σον και υπαγε θελω δε τουτω τω εσχατω δουναι ως και σοι

15 and may I not do what I will with my own?

η ουκ εξεστιν μοι ποιησαι ο θελω εν τοις εμοις ει ο οφθαλμος σου πονηρος εστιν οτι εγω αγαθος ειμι

16 Is thine eye evil because I am good? Thus the last shall be first, and the first last; for there are many called, but few chosen.

ουτως εσονται οι εσχατοι πρωτοι και οι πρωτοι εσχατοι πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι

17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, Behold we are going up to Jerusalem,

και αναβαινων ο ιησους εις ιεροσολυμα παρελαβεν τους δωδεκα μαθητας κατ ιδιαν εν τη οδω και ειπεν αυτοις

18 and the son of man shall be delivered 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 deliver Him up to the gentiles, to insult, and to scourge, and to crucify Him. But on 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 the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him, together with her two sons, falling down before Him, and presenting a petition to Him.

τοτε προσηλθεν αυτω η μητηρ των υιων ζεβεδαιου μετα των υιων αυτης προσκυνουσα και αιτουσα τι παρ αυτου

21 And He said unto her, What dost thou desire? She saith unto Him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on the 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 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask: are ye able to drink of the cup which I am going to drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

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 They replied, We are able. And He saith unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of my cup, and shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but to those for whom it is 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 when the other ten heard it, they were provoked at the two brethren:

και ακουσαντες οι δεκα ηγανακτησαν περι των δυο αδελφων

25 but Jesus called them to Him and said, Ye know that the princes of the gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority upon them:

ο δε ιησους προσκαλεσαμενος αυτους ειπεν οιδατε οτι οι αρχοντες των εθνων κατακυριευουσιν αυτων και οι μεγαλοι κατεξουσιαζουσιν αυτων

26 it shall not be so among you; but whosoever would be great among you, let him be your minister, and whoever would be chief among you,

ουχ ουτως εσται εν υμιν αλλ ος εαν θελη εν υμιν μεγας γενεσθαι εσται υμων διακονος

27 let him be your servant:

και ος εαν θελη εν υμιν ειναι πρωτος εσται υμων δουλος

28 as the Son of man came not to be ministred unto, but to minister 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 from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him:

και εκπορευομενων αυτων απο ιεριχω ηκολουθησεν αυτω οχλος πολυς

30 and behold, two blind men siting by the way-side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou 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 people rebuked them, that they might hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.

ο δε οχλος επετιμησεν αυτοις ινα σιωπησωσιν οι δε μειζον εκραζον λεγοντες ελεησον ημας κυριε υιος δαυιδ

32 And Jesus stopt and called them, and said, What do ye desire me to do for you?

και στας ο ιησους εφωνησεν αυτους και ειπεν τι θελετε ποιησω υμιν

33 They answered Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

λεγουσιν αυτω κυριε ινα ανοιχθωσιν ημων οι οφθαλμοι

34 And Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes; and straightway their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.

σπλαγχνισθεις δε ο ιησους ηψατο των οφθαλμων αυτων και ευθεως ανεβλεψαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι και ηκολουθησαν αυτω
