St Matthew 20:11-16 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

11. And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,

12. Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats.

13. But he answering said to one of them: Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?

14. Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee.

15. Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good?

16. So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.
