And they went their way. 5 Agayne, he went out about the sixth and nynth houre, and dyd lykewyse. 6 And about the eleuenth houre, he wet out, and founde other standyng idle, and saide vnto them: why stande ye here all the day idle? 7 They saye vnto him: because no man hath hyred vs. He sayth vnto them: go ye also into the vineyarde, and whatsoeuer is ryght, that shall ye receaue. 8 So, when euen was come, the lorde of the vineyard sayth vnto his steward: Call the labourers, and geue them their hire, beginning at ye last, vntyll the first. 9 And when they came, that were hired about the eleuenth houre, they receaued euery man a peny. 10 But when the firste came also, they supposed that they shoulde haue receaued more: and they lykewyse receaued euery man a peny. 11 And when they had receaued it, they murmured against the good man of the house, 12 Saying: These laste haue wrought but one houre, & thou hast made them equall vnto vs, whiche haue borne the burthen and heate of the day. 13 But he aunswered to one of the, & said: Frende, I do thee no wrong: dyddest thou not agree with me for a peny? 14 Take that thyne is, and go thy way: I wyll geue vnto this last, euen as vnto thee.

And they reasoned with them selues saying: if we shall say from heauen, he wyll say vnto vs, why dyd ye not then beleue hym? 26 But yf we shall say of men, then feare we the people: for all men holde Iohn as a prophete. 27 And they aunswered vnto Iesus, and sayde: we can not tell. And he saide vnto them: neither tell I you, by what aucthoritie I do these thynges. 28 But what thynke you? A man had two sonnes, and came to the firste, and saide: sonne, go and worke to day in my vineyarde. 29 He aunswered and saide, I wyll not: but afterwarde he repented, and went. 30 Then came he to the seconde, & sayde lykewyse.

And ye, when ye had sene it were not moued afterwarde with repentaunce, that ye myght haue beleued hym. 33 Hearken another similitude. There was a certayne man, an householder, which made a vineyarde, & hedged it rounde about, and made a wynepresse in it, and buylt a towre, and let it out to husbande men: and went into a strange countrey. 34 And when the time of the fruite drewe neare, he sent his seruauntes to the husbande men, that they might receaue the fruites of it. 35 And the husbande men caught his seruauntes, and beatte one, killed another, and stoned another. 36 Agayne, he sent other seruauntes, mo then the first: and they dyd vnto them lykewyse. 37 But laste of all, he sent vnto them his owne sonne, saying: they wyll stande in awe of my sonne. 38 But when the husband men sawe the sonne, they sayde among them selues: this is the heire, come, let vs kyll hym, and let vs enioy his inheritaunce. 39 And they caught hym, and thrust him out of the vineyarde, and slewe hym. 40 When the Lorde therfore of the vineyarde commeth, what wyll he do vnto those husbande men? 41 They sayde vnto hym: He wyll miserably destroy those wicked men & wyll let out his vineyard vnto other husband men, which shall delyuer him the fruite in due seasons. 42 Iesus sayth vnto them. Did ye neuer reade in the Scriptures: The stone which the buylders refused, the same is become the head of the corner. This is the Lordes doing, and it is marueylous in our eyes. 43 Therefore saye I vnto you, the kyngdome of God shalbe taken from you, & geuen to a nation bryngyng foorth the fruites therof. 44 And whosoeuer falleth on this stone, shalbe broken in peeces: but on whomsoeuer it falleth, it shal all to grynd him.
