Matthew 20 : 1 - 7
Chapter 20
1 | "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
|
2 | Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
|
3 | And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
|
4 | and said to them, "You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.
|
5 | Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
|
6 | And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, "Why have you been standing here idle all day?'
|
7 | They said to him, "Because no one hired us.' He said to them, "You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'
