Matthew 20:1-7 ▼

1 |The kingdom from heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

2 After agreeing to pay the workers one denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

3 When he went out about nine o'clock, he saw others standing in the marketplace without work.

4 He told them, 'You go into the vineyard, too, and I will pay you whatever is right.'

5 So off they went. He went out again about noon and about three o'clock and did the same thing.

6 About five o'clock he went out and found some others standing around. He asked them, 'Why are you standing here all day long without work?'

7 They told him, 'Because no one has hired us.' He told them, 'You go into the vineyard as well.'
