Matthew 20:1-6

1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

2 After agreeing with the workers on one denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard.

3 When he went out about nine in the morning, ^[a] he saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.

4 To those men he said, 'You also go to my vineyard, and I'll give you whatever is right.' So off they went.

5 About noon and at three, ^[b] he went out again and did the same thing.

6 Then about five ^[c] he went and found others standing around, ^[d] and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here all day doing nothing?'
