Goodspeed(i)
1 For the Kingdom of Heaven is like an employer who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2 He agreed with the laborers to pay them a dollar a day, and sent them to his vineyard.
3 He went out about nine o'clock and saw others standing in the bazaar with nothing to do.
4 And he said to them, 'You go to my vineyard, too, and I will pay you whatever is right.' So they went.
5 He went out again about twelve and about three, and did the same.
6 About five he went out and found others standing about and he said to them, 'Why have you been standing about here all day doing nothing?'
7 They said to him, 'Because nobody has hired us.' He said to them, 'You go to my vineyard, too.'
8 When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last and ending with the first.'
