Matius 20:13-14

20:13 And the landowner ¹  replied to one of them, ²  ‘Friend, I am not treating you unfairly. Didn’t you agree with me to work for the standard wage? ³  20:14 Take what is yours and go. I ⁴  want to give to this last man ⁵  the same as I gave to you.

[20:13]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the landowner) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:13]  ² tn Grk “And answering, he said to one of them.” This construction is somewhat redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation.

[20:13]  ³ tn Grk “for a denarius a day.”

[20:14]  ⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[20:14]  ⁵ tn Grk “this last one,” translated as “this last man” because field laborers in 1st century Palestine were men.
