< Matthew 20 >
1 FOR the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning 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 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 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 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And 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 ninth hour, and did likewise.
οι δε απηλθον παλιν εξελθων περι εκτην και ενατην ωραν εποιησεν ωσαυτωσ
6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, 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 unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
λεγουσιν αυτω οτι ουδεισ ημασ εμισθωσατο λεγει αυτοισ υπαγετε και υμεισ εισ τον αμπελωνα και ο εαν η δικαιον ληψεσθε
8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto 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 that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
και ελθοντεσ οι περι την ενδεκατην ωραν ελαβον ανα δηναριον
10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
ελθοντεσ δε οι πρωτοι ενομισαν οτι πλειονα ληψονται και ελαβον και αυτοι ανα δηναριον
11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
λαβοντεσ δε εγογγυζον κατα του οικοδεσποτου
12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which 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 answered one of them, and said, 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 that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto 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 mine 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 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
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 apart in the way, and said unto 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 shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the 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 mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: 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, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of 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 wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the 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 that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? 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 drink indeed of my cup, and 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 it shall be given to them 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 when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
και ακουσαντεσ οι δεκα ηγανακτησαν περι των δυο αδελφων
25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
ο δε ιησουσ προσκαλεσαμενοσ αυτουσ ειπεν οιδατε οτι οι αρχοντεσ των εθνων κατακυριευουσιν αυτων και οι μεγαλοι κατεξουσιαζουσιν αυτων
26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
ουχ ουτωσ δε εσται εν υμιν αλλ οσ εαν θελη εν υμιν μεγασ γενεσθαι εσται υμων διακονοσ
27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
και οσ εαν θελη εν υμιν ειναι πρωτοσ εστω υμων δουλοσ
28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered 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 departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
και εκπορευομενων αυτων απο ιεριχω ηκολουθησεν αυτω οχλοσ πολυσ
30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed 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 multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried 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 stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto 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 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately 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
