Matthew 20:1-7 ▼

1 For the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a landlord man, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

2 And having agreed with the laborers for a denarion per day, sent them into his vineyard.

3 And having gone out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the forum:

4 and he said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they departed.

5 Again having gone out about the sixth and ninth hours, he did likewise.

6 And about the eleventh hour having gone out, he found others standing; and says to them, Why stand ye here idle all the day?

7 They say to him, Because no one hired us. He says to them, Go ye also into the vineyard.
