Matthew 20:13

Bible in Basic English 1965

But he in answer said to one of them, Friend, I do you no wrong: did you not make an agreement with me for a penny?

See the chapter Copy

And Jesus said to him, Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and put hands on Jesus, and took him.

And he says to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a guest's robe? And he had nothing to say.

But, O man, who are you, to make answer against God? May the thing which is made say to him who made it, Why did you make me so?

Will you even make my right of no value? will you say that I am wrong in order to make clear that you are right?

Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say,

Let such a thing be far from you, to put the upright to death with the sinner: will not the judge of all the earth do right?

And when he had made an agreement with the workmen for a penny a day, he sent them into his vine-garden.

Take what is yours, and go away; it is my pleasure to give to this last, even as to you.
