Matthew 20:12-14
New English Translation

12 saying, ‘These last fellows worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us who bore the hardship and burning heat of the day.’ 13 And the landowner[a] replied to one of them,[b] ‘Friend, I am not treating you unfairly. Didn’t you agree with me to work for the standard wage?[c] 14 Take what is yours and go. I[d] want to give to this last man[e] the same as I gave to you.

  4. Matthew 20:14 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  5. Matthew 20:14 tn Grk “this last one,” translated as “this last man” because field laborers in 1st century Palestine were men.
