10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should receive more; and they too received each a denary.
11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the householder,
12 saying, These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.
13 But he answering said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou agree with me for a denary?

15 Am I not free to do what I will with my own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
