20 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

20 1"For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire labourers for his vineyard.The Workers in the Vineyard Mt.20.1-16 (Borders of Samaria)Ὁμοία γάρ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδεσπότῃ ὁστις ἐξῆλθεν ἀμα πρωῒ μισθώσασθαι ἐργάτας εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα αὐτοῦ·
2After agreeing with the labourers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. συμφωνήσας δὲ μετὰ τῶν ἐργατῶν ἐκ δηναρίου τὴν ἡμέραν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα αὐτοῦ.
3And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place; καὶ ἐξελθὼν περὶ τρίτην ὡραν εἶδεν ἀλλους ἑστῶτας ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ ἀργούς·
4and to them he said, 'You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.  καὶ ἐκείνοις εἶπεν, Ὑπάγετε καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν ᾖ δίκαιον δώσω ὑμῖν.
5Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. οἱ δὲ ἀπῆλθον. πάλιν δὲ ἐξελθὼν περὶ ἑκτην καὶ ἐνάτην ὡραν ἐποίησεν ὡσαύτως.
6And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day?'  περὶ δὲ τὴν ἑνδεκάτην ἐξελθὼν εὗρεν ἀλλους ἑστῶτας, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, Τί ὧδε ἑστήκατε ὁλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἀργοί;
7They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too.'  λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, Ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἡμᾶς ἐμισθώσατο. λέγει αὐτοῖς, Ὑπάγετε καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα.
8And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the labourers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.'  ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης λέγει ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος τῷ ἐπιτρόπῳ αὐτοῦ, Κάλεσον τοὺς ἐργάτας καὶ ἀπόδος αὐτοῖς τὸν μισθὸν ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῶν ἐσχάτων ἑως τῶν πρώτων.
9And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. καὶ ἐλθόντες οἱ περὶ τὴν ἑνδεκάτην ὡραν ἐλαβον ἀνὰ δηνάριον.
10Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius. καὶ ἐλθόντες οἱ πρῶτοι ἐνόμισαν ὅτι πλεῖον λήμψονται· καὶ ἐλαβον τὸ ἀνὰ δηνάριον καὶ αὐτοί.
11And on receiving it they grumbled at the householder, λαβόντες δὲ ἐγόγγυζον κατὰ τοῦ οἰκοδεσπότου
12saying, 'These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.'  λέγοντες, Οὗτοι οἱ ἐσχατοι μίαν ὡραν ἐποίησαν, καὶ ἰσους ἡμῖν αὐτοὺς ἐποίησας τοῖς βαστάσασι τὸ βάρος τῆς ἡμέρας καὶ τὸν καύσωνα.
13But he replied to one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius?  ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς ἑνὶ αὐτῶν εἶπεν, Ἑταῖρε, οὐκ ἀδικῶ σε· οὐχὶ δηναρίου συνεφώνησάς μοὶ;
14Take what belongs to you, and go; I choose to give to this last as I give to you.  ἆρον τὸ σὸν καὶ ὑπαγε· θέλω δὲ τούτῳ τῷ ἐσχάτῳ δοῦναι ὡς καὶ σοί.
15Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?'   οὐκ ἐξεστίν μοι ὃ θέλω ποιῆσαι ἐν τοῖς ἐμοῖς; ἢ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου πονηρός ἐστιν ὅτι ἐγὼ ἀγαθός εἰμὶ;
16So the last will be first, and the first last."  Οὑτως ἐσονται οἱ ἐσχατοι πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ πρῶτοι ἐσχατοι.

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
