Such variations in the common translation are continually occurring. δικαιον κυριος "For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a householder, who went forth with the early morning to άμα πρωι hire labourers into his vineyard. 2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went forth about the third hour, and saw others standing in the market-place idle; and he said unto them, 'Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right, I will give you:' and they went. * Again he went forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went forth and found others standing, and saith unto them, 'Why have ye stood here all the day idle?' 7 They say unto him, 'Because no one hath hired us.' He saith unto them, 'Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right ye shall receive.' 8 Now when evening came, the master of the vineyard saith unto the steward, Call the labourers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last, even unto the first.' • And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received each a denarius. 10 Now when the first came, they supposed that they should receive more ; and they also received each a denarius. "But when they received it, they murmured against the householder, saying, 'These last have wrought one hour only, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day, and the heat.' 13 But he answered one of them, and said, 'Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take thine own, and go thy way: but I choose to give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?' 16 Thus the last shall be first, and the first last: † for many are called, but few chosen. 12 έταιρε • ανθρωπῳ οικοδεσπότη. Here, and in various other places, the use of ανθρωπος is idiomatic, and cannot be adequately represented in English. + The order is here necessary, because the nominative with the article must be the subject of the verb: in ch. xix. 30, and in Mark x. 31, the order is preferable.

Our Lord's Observations when asked as to the number who would be saved. 23 AND he was going through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem; 23 and some one said unto him, "Lord, are they that are saved few!" And he said unto them, 24" Strive ye to enter in through the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able, 25 from the time when the master of the house hath risen up, and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord! Lord! open unto us.' And he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are.' 26 Then ye will begin to say, 'We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.' 27 And he will declare, 'I say to you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.' 29 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves cast out. 29 And they will come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and will be placed at table in the kingdom of God. 30 And, behold, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last."

In the first edition, the xiith chapter, and the preceding part of the xiiith, were also placed in this Part. For reasons stated in p. 141, these have been transferred to the Fifth Part, p. 135-140; but if the reader deem the present the preferable position, it will affect no principle of this Synoptical Arrangement, if he transfer them accordingly.

There is nothing in that portion of the Gnomology which is absolutely inconsistent with the supposition that the (ccurrences recorded in it took place in this journey through the Peræa; and the reader may, if he think best, transfer them to the present situation but it appears more probable (p. 107) that they belong to the residence in the Perea, after the Feast of Dedication, during the absence of the Twelve. |
