Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:2 - And when he had agreed with the laborers for a shilling a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:3 - And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle;

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:12 - saying, These last have spent but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:13 - But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a shilling?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:14 - Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:15 - Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good?

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:18 - Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:19 - and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:22 - But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:27 - and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant:
