Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For the Administration of Heaven will resemble the conduct of a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. ² Having agreed with some for a denarius a-day, he sent them into his vineyard. ³ About the third hour he went out, and seeing others unemployed in the market place, ⁴ said to them, Go you likewise into my vineyard, and I will give you what is reasonable. Accordingly they went. ⁵ Again, about the sixth hour, and about the ninth, he went out and did the same. ⁶ Lastly, about the eleventh hour, he went out, and finding others standing, said to them, Why do you stand here all the day doing nothing? ⁷ They answered, Because no person has hired us. He said to them, Go you also into my vineyard, and you shall receive what is reasonable. ⁸ When it was night, the proprietor of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the laborers, and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, and ending with the first.
