Matthew 20:6-16

Tyndale TYN

6 And he went out aboute the eleventhe houre and founde other stondynge ydell and sayde vnto them: Why stonde ye here all the daye ydell?

7 They sayde vnto hym: because no man hath hyred vs. He sayde to them: goo ye alsoo into my vyneyarde and whatsoever is right that shall ye receave.

8 When even was come the lorde of the vyneyarde sayde vnto hys steward: call the labourers and geve them their hyre beginnyng at ye laste tyll thou come to ye fyrste.

9 And they whiche were hyred aboute the eleventhe houre came and receaved every man a peny.

10 Then came ye fyrst supposyng yt they shuld receave moare: and they likewyse receaved every man a peny.

11 And when they had receaved it they murmured agaynst the good man of the housse

12 saying: These laste have wrought but one houre and thou hast made them equall vnto vs which have born ye burthe and heet of the daye.

13 He answered to one of the sayinge: frende I do the no wronge: dyddest thou not agre wt me for a peny?

14 Take that which is thy duty and go thy waye. I will geve vnto this last as moche as to the.

15 Ys it not lawfull for me to do as me listeth with myne awne? Ys thyne eye evyll because I am good?

16 Soo the laste shalbe fyrste and the fyrste shalbe laste. For many are called and feawe be chosen.

New International Version NIV

6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’

7 “ ‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. “He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’

8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’

9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius.

10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius.

11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner.

12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’

13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius?

14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you.

15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
