1 FOR the kingdom of heaven is like a man, who is a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 He bargained with the laborers for a penny a day, and sent them to his vineyard. 3 And he went out at the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market place. 4 And he said to them, You also go to the vineyard, and I will give you what is right. And they went. 5 And he went out again at the sixth and at the ninth hour, and did the same. 6 And towards the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and he said to them, Why do you stand all day idle? 7 They said to him, Because no man has hired us. He said to them, You also go to the vineyard, and you will receive what is right. Matthew 20:1-7, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
