10 But the first came, and deemed, that they should take more, but they took each one by themselves a penny; [+Truly and the first coming deemed, that they were worthy to take more, truly and they took each one by himself a penny/but also they took even-pence.]

11 and in the taking they grumbled against the husbandman, [And they taking grutched against the husbandman,]

12 and said [saying], These last wrought one hour, and thou hast made them even to us, that have borne the charge of the day, and [the] heat?

13 And he answered to one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee none wrong [Friend, I do thee no wrong]; whether thou hast not accorded with me for a penny?

14 Take thou that that is thine, and go; for I will give to this last man, as to thee. [+Take that that is thine, and go; forsooth I will give also to this the last, as and to thee.]

15 Whether it is not leaveful to me to do that that I will? Whether thine eye is wicked, for I am good?

16 So the last shall be the first, and the first the last; for many be called, but few be chosen [for many be called, but few chosen].

19 And they shall betake him to heathen men, for to be scorned, and scourged, and crucified; and the third day he shall rise again to life. [And they shall betake him to heathen men, to be scorned, and scourged, and crucified; and the third day he shall rise again.]

20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, honouring, and asking something of him. [Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came nigh to him with her sons, worshipping, and asking something of him.]
