Matthew 20
1 For the kingdom of the heavens is like a householder who went out with the early morn to hire workmen for his vineyard.
ομοια γαρ εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω οικοδεσποτη οστις εξηλθεν αμα πρωι μισθωσασθαι εργατας εις τον αμπελωνα αυτου
2 And having agreed with the workmen for a denarius the day, he sent them into his vineyard.
συμφωνησας δε μετα των εργατων εκ δηναριου την ημεραν απεστειλεν αυτους εις τον αμπελωνα αυτου
3 And having gone out about [the] third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle;
και εξελθων περι την τριτην ωραν ειδεν αλλους εστωτας εν τη αγορα αργους
4 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.
κακεινοις ειπεν υπαγετε και υμεις εις τον αμπελωνα και ο εαν η δικαιον δωσω υμιν
5 Again, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.
οι δε απηλθον παλιν εξελθων περι εκτην και εννατην ωραν εποιησεν ωσαυτως
6 But about the eleventh [hour], having gone out, he found others standing, and says to 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 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].
λεγουσιν αυτω οτι ουδεις ημας εμισθωσατο λεγει αυτοις υπαγετε και υμεις εις τον αμπελωνα και ο εαν η δικαιον ληψεσθε
8 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.
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 [who came to work] about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius.
και ελθοντες οι περι την ενδεκατην ωραν ελαβον ανα δηναριον
10 And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they received also themselves each a denarius.
ελθοντες δε οι πρωτοι ενομισαν οτι πλειονα ληψονται και ελαβον και αυτοι ανα δηναριον
11 And on receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,
λαβοντες δε εγογγυζον κατα του οικοδεσποτου
12 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.
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, [My] friend, I do not wrong thee. Didst thou not agree with me for a denarius?
ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ενι αυτων εταιρε ουκ αδικω σε ουχι δηναριου συνεφωνησας μοι
14 Take what is thine and go. But it is my will 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 in my own affairs? 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 ones, but few chosen ones.
ουτως εσονται οι εσχατοι πρωτοι και οι πρωτοι εσχατοι πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι
17 And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples with [him] apart in the way, and said to them,
και αναβαινων ο ιησους εις ιεροσολυμα παρελαβεν τους δωδεκα μαθητας κατ ιδιαν εν τη οδω και ειπεν αυτοις
18 Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered up 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 they will deliver him up to the nations to mock 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 the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, doing homage, and asking something of him.
τοτε προσηλθεν αυτω η μητηρ των υιων ζεβεδαιου μετα των υιων αυτης προσκυνουσα και αιτουσα τι παρ αυτου
21 And he said to her, What wilt thou? She says to him, Speak [the word] that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand and one on 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 εν τη βασιλεια σου
22 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.
αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν ουκ οιδατε τι αιτεισθε δυνασθε πιειν το ποτηριον ο εγω μελλω πινειν και το βαπτισμα ο εγω βαπτιζομαι βαπτισθηναι λεγουσιν αυτω δυναμεθα
23 [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.
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 ten, having heard [of it], were indignant about the two brothers.
και ακουσαντες οι δεκα ηγανακτησαν περι των δυο αδελφων
25 But Jesus having called them to [him], said, Ye know that the rulers of the nations exercise lordship over them, and the great 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 thus amongst you, but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your servant;
ουχ ουτως δε εσται εν υμιν αλλ ος εαν θελη εν υμιν μεγας γενεσθαι εστω υμων διακονος
27 and whosoever will be first among you, let him be your bondman;
και ος εαν θελη εν υμιν ειναι πρωτος εστω υμων δουλος
28 as indeed the Son of man did not come to be served, 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 went out from Jericho a great crowd followed him.
και εκπορευομενων αυτων απο ιεριχω ηκολουθησεν αυτω οχλος πολυς
30 And lo, two blind men, sitting by the wayside, having heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.
και ιδου δυο τυφλοι καθημενοι παρα την οδον ακουσαντες οτι ιησους παραγει εκραξαν λεγοντες ελεησον ημας κυριε υιος δαβιδ
31 But the crowd rebuked them, that they might be silent. But they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.
ο δε οχλος επετιμησεν αυτοις ινα σιωπησωσιν οι δε μειζον εκραζον λεγοντες ελεησον ημας κυριε υιος δαβιδ
32 And Jesus, having stopped, called them and said, What will ye that I shall do to you?
και στας ο ιησους εφωνησεν αυτους και ειπεν τι θελετε ποιησω υμιν
33 They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
λεγουσιν αυτω κυριε ινα ανοιχθωσιν ημων οι οφθαλμοι
34 And Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes had sight restored to them, and they followed him.
σπλαγχνισθεις δε ο ιησους ηψατο των οφθαλμων αυτων και ευθεως ανεβλεψαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι και ηκολουθησαν αυτω
