Laborers in the Vineyard
1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
3
And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4
and to them he said, 'You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.'
6
And 1about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day?'
7
They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too.'
8
And 2when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his 3foreman, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.'
9
And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius.
