Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:3 - And having gone out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle;

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:6 - But about the eleventh hour, having gone out, he found others standing, and says to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:7 - They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, Go also ye into the vineyard and whatsoever may be just ye shall receive.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:14 - Take what is thine and go. But it is my will to give to this last even as to thee:
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:15 - is it not lawful for me to do what I will in my own affairs? Is thine eye evil because *I* am good?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 20:16 - Thus shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called ones, but few chosen ones.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
