MLV(i)
1 For the kingdom of the heavens is similar to a man who is a householder, who went out at the same time every morning to hire workers into his vineyard.
2 And having agreed together with the workers for a denarius a day , he sent them into his vineyard.
3 And he went out around the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace;
4 and he said to those men, You also, go into the vineyard and I will be giving you whatever is just. And they went.
5 Again, they went out around the sixth and he did likewise.
6 Now around the eleventh hour, he went out and found others standing idle, and he says to them, Why are you standing here idle the whole day?
7 They say to him, Because no one has hired us.
So he says to them, You also, go into the vineyard and I will be giving you whatever is just. 8 Now when it became evening, the lord of the vineyard says to his commissioner, Call the workers and give to them their wages, begin from the last to the first.
