1 FOR the kingdom of heaven is like a man, the master of a family, who went out at break of day, to hire labourers into his vineyard. 2 And when he had agreed with the labourers at a denarius a day, he sent them into the vineyard. 3 And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place unemployed. 4 And he said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatever is equitable, I will give it you. So they went. 5 Again going out, about the sixth and ninth hour, he did after the same manner. 6 But about the eleventh hour, going out, he found others standing unemployed, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is equitable, ye shall receive. Matthew 20:1-7, Haweis New Testament. Public domain.
