Matthew 20
1 “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, 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 When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
και συμφωνησασ μετα των εργατων εκ δηναριου την ημεραν απεστειλεν αυτουσ εισ τον αμπελωνα αυτου
3 He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
και εξελθων περι τριτην ωραν ειδεν αλλουσ εστωτασ εν τη αγορα αργουσ
4 He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.
και εκεινοισ ειπεν υπαγετε και υμεισ εισ τον αμπελωνα και ο εαν η δικαιον δωσω υμιν
5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
οι δε απηλθον παλιν εξελθων περι εκτην και ενατην ωραν εποιησεν ωσαυτωσ
6 About the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’
περι δε την ενδεκατην ωραν εξελθων ευρεν αλλουσ εστωτασ αργουσ και λεγει αυτοισ τι ωδε εστηκατε ολην την ημεραν αργοι
7 “They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’
λεγουσιν αυτω οτι ουδεισ ημασ εμισθωσατο λεγει αυτοισ υπαγετε και υμεισ εισ τον αμπελωνα και ο εαν η δικαιον ληψεσθε
8 “When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and pay 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 “When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.
και ελθοντεσ οι περι την ενδεκατην ωραν ελαβον ανα δηναριον
10 When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
ελθοντεσ δε οι πρωτοι ενομισαν οτι πλειονα ληψονται και ελαβον και αυτοι ανα δηναριον
11 When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
λαβοντεσ δε εγογγυζον κατα του οικοδεσποτου
12 saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’
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 one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?
ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν ενι αυτων εταιρε ουκ αδικω σε ουχι δηναριου συνεφωνησασ μοι
14 Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
αρον το σον και υπαγε θελω δε τουτω τω εσχατω δουναι ωσ και σοι
15 Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your 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 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
ουτωσ εσονται οι εσχατοι πρωτοι και οι πρωτοι εσχατοι πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι
17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,
και αναβαινων ο ιησουσ εισ ιεροσολυμα παρελαβεν τουσ δωδεκα μαθητασ κατ ιδιαν εν τη οδω και ειπεν αυτοισ
18 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
ιδου αναβαινομεν εισ ιεροσολυμα και ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου παραδοθησεται τοισ αρχιερευσιν και γραμματευσιν και κατακρινουσιν αυτον θανατω
19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”
και παραδωσουσιν αυτον τοισ εθνεσιν εισ το εμπαιξαι και μαστιγωσαι και σταυρωσαι και τη τριτη ημερα αναστησεται
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.
τοτε προσηλθεν αυτω η μητηρ των υιων ζεβεδαιου μετα των υιων αυτησ προσκυνουσα και αιτουσα τι παρ αυτου
21 He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand and one on your left hand, in your 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, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to 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 He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for whom it has been 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 When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
και ακουσαντεσ οι δεκα ηγανακτησαν περι των δυο αδελφων
25 But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over 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 whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
ουχ ουτωσ δε εσται εν υμιν αλλ οσ εαν θελη εν υμιν μεγασ γενεσθαι εσται υμων διακονοσ
27 Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,
και οσ εαν θελη εν υμιν ειναι πρωτοσ εστω υμων δουλοσ
28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
ωσπερ ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου ουκ ηλθεν διακονηθηναι αλλα διακονησαι και δουναι την ψυχην αυτου λυτρον αντι πολλων
29 As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
και εκπορευομενων αυτων απο ιεριχω ηκολουθησεν αυτω οχλοσ πολυσ
30 Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
και ιδου δυο τυφλοι καθημενοι παρα την οδον ακουσαντεσ οτι ιησουσ παραγει εκραξαν λεγοντεσ ελεησον ημασ κυριε υιοσ δαυιδ
31 The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
ο δε οχλοσ επετιμησεν αυτοισ ινα σιωπησωσιν οι δε μειζον εκραζον λεγοντεσ ελεησον ημασ κυριε υιοσ δαυιδ
32 Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
και στασ ο ιησουσ εφωνησεν αυτουσ και ειπεν τι θελετε ποιησω υμιν
33 They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
λεγουσιν αυτω κυριε ινα ανοιχθωσιν ημων οι οφθαλμοι
34 Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
σπλαγχνισθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ηψατο των οφθαλμων αυτων και ευθεωσ ανεβλεψαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι και ηκολουθησαν αυτω
