1 "For the Kingdom of Heaven is like to a man who was a householder, who went forth early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard; 2 and, having agreed with the laborers for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 "And, going forth about the third hour, he saw others standing in the marketplace idle; 4 and to them he said, 'Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you.' And they went away. 5 "Again, going forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh hour , going forth, he found others standing, and he says to them, 'Why stand ye here all the day idle?' 7 They say to him, 'Because no man hired us.' He says to them, 'Go ye also into the vineyard.' Matthew 20:1-7, Worrell New Testament. Public domain.
