“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
“About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.
and said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went.
He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’
Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
So they went.
“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing.
“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing.
About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’
“ ‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered.
“He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’
“He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’
“So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.’
“When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’
And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.
“The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius.
But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.
So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius.
When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner.
saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.’
‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’
But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
“But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius?
Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.
Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you.
Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’
Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
“So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
