Mat 20:12Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.

Mat 20:13

Mat 20:13But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?

Mat 20:14

Mat 20:14Take that which is thine, and depart: I will give to this last, even as to thee.

Mat 20:15

Mat 20:15Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? is thy eye evil because I am good?

Mat 20:16

Mat 20:16So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many are called, but few chosen.

Mat 20:23

Mat 20:23And he saith to them, Ye shall drink indeed of 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 shall be given to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.
