Matthew 20:1-15 For like is the kingdom of the heavens to a man, a householder, who came out at the same time with the morning to hire workers for his vineyard."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For like is the kingdom of the heavens to a man, a householder, who came out at the same time with the morning to hire workers for his vineyard." ² Now, agreeing with the workers for a denarius a day, he dispatches them into his vineyard." ³ And, coming out about the third hour, he perceived others standing in the market, idle." ⁴ And to those he said, 'You also go into my vineyard, and whatsoever may be just I shall be giving you.' Now they came away." ⁵ Now, again coming out about the sixth and ninth hour, he does similarly." ⁶ Now, about the eleventh, coming out, he found others standing. And he is saying to them, 'Why stand you here the whole day idle?'" ⁷ They are saying to him that 'No one hires us.' He is saying to them, 'You also go into the vineyard.'" ⁸ Now, evening coming on, the lord of the vineyard is saying to his manager, 'Call the workers and pay them the wages, beginning from the last, to the first.'" ⁹ And, coming, those hired about the eleventh hour got a denarius apiece. " ¹⁰ And, coming, the first infer that they will be getting more. And they also got a denarius apiece." ¹¹ Now, getting it, they murmured against the householder, ¹² saying, 'These last do one hour, and you make them equal to us who bear the burden of the day and the scorching heat.'" ¹³ Yet he, answering one of them, said, 'Comrade, I am not injuring you! Did you not agree with me for a denarius? ¹⁴ Pick up what is yours and go away. Now I want to give to this last one even as to you. ¹⁵ Is it not allowed me to do what I want with that which is mine? Or is your eye wicked, seeing that I am good?'"
