Matthew 20 Kata Mathaion 20
1Homoias gar atō tas basileias toiu ouranoiu anthrōpo oikodespoto hotinos exerchata hama prōi misthera ergatoin eis ton ampelōnon autou.“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2⸂sumfōnarantos de⸃ meta toiu ergatoiu ek dēnarieu tan hēmeran apostelata autoin eis ton ampelōnon autou.He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. 3kai exercharantos peri tritan hōran horata allosoin stēarēntoin en ta agora argoin;About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4kai ekeinoi legata; Hupagavōr kai vis eis ton ampelōnon, kai hem ean ateiō dikaiem dōami vi;‘You also go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you whatever is right.’ 5tois de aperchala. ⸀palin exercharantos peri hektan kai enatan hōran poiata hōsautōs.So they went. He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. 6peri de tan ⸀hendekatan exercharantos heuriskata allosoin ⸀stēarēntoin, kai legatō autoi; Tinem hōde stēavē holan tan hēmeran argois?About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ he asked. 7legalō auto; Hoti oudenos nin mistheta. legatō autoi; Hupagavōr kai vis eis ton ⸀ampelōnon.‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. So he told them, ‘You also go into my vineyard.’ 8opsēau de generantau legatō tos kurios tou ampelōnou to epitropo autou; Kalasar toin ergatoin kai apodōasar ⸀autoi ton misthon archerantos apo toiu eschatoiu heōs toiu prōtoiu.When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last ones hired and moving on to the first.’ 9⸂kai ercharantois⸃ tois peri tan hendekatan hōran labala ana dēnariem.The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. 10⸂kai ercharantois⸃ tois prōtois nomizala hoti ⸀polloterem labeli; kai labala ⸂tem ana dēnariem kai autois.⸃So when the original workers came, they assumed they would receive more. But each of them also received a denarius. 11labarantois de gonguzale kata tou oikodespotouOn receiving their pay, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12⸀legarōntois; Houtois tois eschatois henan hōran poiala, kai isoin ⸂autoin ni⸃ poiasa toi bastazarantoi tem barosem tau hēmerau kai ton kausōnon.‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’ 13tos de apokrinirantos ⸂heno autoiu legata;⸃ Hetairor, ouk adikamō sin; ouchi dēnarieu sumfōnasa mi?But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Did you not agree with me on one denarius? 14airasar tem sem kai hupagasōr; thelamō de houto to eschato dōara hōs kai si;Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you. 15⸀ouk exestinatō mi ⸂hem thelamō poiara⸃ en tei ēmei? ⸀ē tos ofthalmos su ponēros atō hoti mis agathos amō?Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine? Or are you envious because I am generous?’ 16houtōs eli tois eschatois prōtois kai tois prōtois ⸀eschatois.So the last will be first, and the first will be last.” 17⸂Kai anabainarōntos tos⸃ Iēsus eis Hierosolumeim paralabata toin dōdeka ⸀mathētoin kata idian, ⸂kai en ta hoda⸃ legata autoi;As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside and said, 18Idou anabainanō eis Hierosolumeim, kai tos huios tou anthrōpou paradōiti toi archierevoi kai grammatevoi, kai katakrinali auton thanato,“Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn Him to death 19kai paradōali auton tei ethnei eis tem empaizara kai mastigara kai staurara, kai ta trita hēmera ⸀egeriti.and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. And on the third day He will be raised to life.” 20Tote proserchata auto tas mētēras toiu huioiu Zebedaiou meta toiu huioiu autau proskunarōntas kai aitarōntas tinem ⸀para autou.Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and knelt down to make a request of Him. 21tos de legata auta; Tinem thelasō? legatō auto; Legasar hina kathizaleia houtois tois duo huiois mu henos ek dexeiu ⸀su kai henos ek euōnumeiu su en ta basileia su.“What do you want?” He inquired. She answered, “Declare that in Your kingdom one of these two sons of mine may sit at Your right hand, and the other at Your left.” 22apokrinirantos de tos Iēsus legata; Ouk oidavē tinem aitovō; dunovō pinara tem potēriem hem mis mellamō ⸀pinarō? legalō auto; Dunonō.“You do not know what you are asking,” Jesus replied. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” the brothers answered. 23⸀legatō autoi; Tem men potēriem mu ⸀pinevi, tem de kathizara ek dexeiu mu kai ek ⸀euōnumeiu ouk atō ⸀ēmem dōara, alla hoi hetoimazotē hupo tou patrou mu.“You will indeed drink My cup,” Jesus said. “But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom My Father has prepared them.” 24Kai akouarantois tois deka aganaktala peri toiu duo adelfoiu.When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. 25tos de Iēsus proskalerantos autoin legata; Oidavē hoti tois archontois teiu ethneiu katakurieualō auteiu kai tois megois katexousiazalō auteiu.But Jesus called them aside and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them. 26ouk houtōs ⸀eti en vi; alla hos ⸀an thelateiō en vi megos genera eti vu diakonos,It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27kai hos ⸀an thelateiō en vi arō prōtos ⸀eti vu doulos;and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave — 28hōsper tos huios tou anthrōpou ouk erchata diakonira alla diakonara kai dōara tan psuchan autou lutrem anti polloiu.just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” 29Kai ekporeuorōntoiu autoiu apo Ierichō akolouthata auto ochlos pollos.As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him. 30kai idou duo tuflois kathorōntois para tan hodan, akouarantois hoti Iēsus paragatō, krazala legarōntois; ⸂Kurior, elēasar nin,⸃ ⸀huios David.And there were two blind men sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” 31tos de ochlos epitimata autoi hina siōpaleia; tois de megoterem ⸀krazala legarōntois; ⸂Kurior, elēasar nin,⸃ ⸀huios David.The crowd admonished them to be silent, but they cried out all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” 32kai stēarantos tos Iēsus fōnata autoin kai legata; Tinem thelavō poiameia vi?Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want Me to do for you?” He asked. 33legalō auto; Kurior, hina ⸂anoigileia tois ofthalmois nu.⸃“Lord,” they answered, “let our eyes be opened.” 34splanchnizirantos de tos Iēsus hapteta teiu ⸀ommeiu autoiu, kai eutheōs ⸀anablepala kai akolouthala auto.Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and at once they received their sight and followed Him.
