Matthew 20

1For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

ομοια γαρ εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω οικοδεσποτη, οστις εξηλθεν αμα πρωι μισθωσασθαι εργατας εις τον αμπελωνα αυτου.

2Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

και συμφωνησας μετα των εργατων εκ δηναριου την ημεραν απεστειλεν αυτους εις τον αμπελωνα αυτου.

3And 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,

4and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.

και εκεινοις ειπεν· υπαγετε και υμεις εις τον αμπελωνα, και ο εαν η δικαιον δωσω υμιν.

5Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.

οι δε απηλθον. παλιν εξελθων περι εκτην και ενατην ωραν εποιησεν ωσαυτως.

6And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?'

περι δε την ενδεκατην ωραν εξελθων ευρεν αλλους εστωτας αργους, και λεγει αυτοις· τι ωδε εστηκατε ολην την ημεραν αργοι;

7They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'

λεγουσιν αυτω· οτι ουδεις ημας εμισθωσατο. λεγει αυτοις· υπαγετε και υμεις εις τον αμπελωνα, και ο εαν η δικαιον ληψεσθε.

8'So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to 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.

9And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.

και ελθοντες οι περι την ενδεκατην ωραν ελαβον ανα δηναριον.

10But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.

ελθοντες δε οι πρωτοι ενομισαν οτι πλειονα ληψονται, και ελαβον και αυτοι ανα δηναριον.

11And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,

λαβοντες δε εγογγυζον κατα του οικοδεσποτου

12saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the 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.

13But he answered one of them and said, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?

ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ενι αυτων· εταιρε, ουκ αδικω σε· ουχι δηναριου συνεφωνησας μοι;

14Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.

αρον το σον και υπαγε· θελω δε τουτω τω εσχατω δουναι ως και σοι·

15Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your 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;

16So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.'

ουτως εσονται οι εσχατοι πρωτοι και οι πρωτοι εσχατοι· πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι, ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι.

17Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them,

και αναβαινων ο ιησους εις ιεροσολυμα παρελαβεν τους δωδεκα μαθητας κατ ιδιαν εν τη οδω και ειπεν αυτοις·

18'Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death,

ιδου αναβαινομεν εις ιεροσολυμα, και ο υιος του ανθρωπου παραδοθησεται τοις αρχιερευσιν και γραμματευσιν και κατακρινουσιν αυτον θανατω,

19and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.'

και παραδωσουσιν αυτον τοις εθνεσιν εις το εμπαιξαι και μαστιγωσαι και σταυρωσαι, και τη τριτη ημερα αναστησεται.

20Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.

τοτε προσηλθεν αυτω η μητηρ των υιων ζεβεδαιου μετα των υιων αυτης προσκυνουσα και αιτουσα τι παρ αυτου.

21And He said to her, 'What do you wish?'

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.

22She said to Him, 'Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.' But Jesus answered and said, 'You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?' They said to 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.

23So He said to them, 'You will indeed drink 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 is for those for whom it is prepared by 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].

24And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers.

και ακουσαντες οι δεκα ηγανακτησαν περι των δυο αδελφων.

25But Jesus called them to Himself and said, 'You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.

ο δε ιησους προσκαλεσαμενος αυτους ειπεν· οιδατε οτι οι αρχοντες των εθνων κατακυριευουσιν αυτων και οι μεγαλοι κατεξουσιαζουσιν αυτων.

26Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.

ουχ ουτως εσται εν υμιν, αλλ ος εαν θελη εν υμιν μεγας γενεσθαι, εσται υμων διακονος,

27And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave—

και ος εαν θελη εν υμιν ειναι πρωτος, εσται υμων δουλος·

28just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, 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.

29Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.

και εκπορευομενων αυτων απο ιεριχω ηκολουθησεν αυτω οχλος πολυς.

30And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, 'Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!'

και ιδου δυο τυφλοι καθημενοι παρα την οδον, ακουσαντες οτι ιησους παραγει, εκραξαν λεγοντες· ελεησον ημας, κυριε, υιος δαυιδ.

31Then the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, 'Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!'

ο δε οχλος επετιμησεν αυτοις ινα σιωπησωσιν· οι δε μειζον εκραζον λεγοντες· ελεησον ημας, κυριε, υιος δαυιδ.

32So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, 'What do you want Me to do for you?'

και στας ο ιησους εφωνησεν αυτους και ειπεν· τι θελετε ποιησω υμιν;

33They said to Him, 'Lord, that our eyes may be opened.'

λεγουσιν αυτω· κυριε, ινα ανοιχθωσιν ημων οι οφθαλμοι.

34So Jesus had compassion 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.
