Matthew 20:1-8

Murdock(i) 1 For the kingdom of heaven is like a man, the lord of a house, who went out, at dawn of day, to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 And he contracted with the labors for a denarius a day: and sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out at the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market-place: 4 and he said to them, Go ye also into my vineyard, and what is right I will give you; 5 and they went. And again he went out at the sixth and ninth hours, and did the same. 6 And about the eleventh hour, he went out and found others who were standing and idle; and he said to them: Why stand ye all the day, and are idle? 7 They say to him, Because no one hath hired us. He saith to them: Go ye also into the vineyard; and what is right ye shall receive. 8 And when it was evening, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward: Call the laborers, and give them their wages; and commence with the last, and proceed to the first.
