8 And evening having come, the master of the vineyard says to his foreman, ‘Call the workmen and pay them the wages, having begun from the last, up to the first.’ 9 And having come, the ones of about the eleventh hour each received a denarius. 10 And having come, the first thought that they will receive more. But they themselves also received each a denarius. 11 And having received it, they were grumbling against the master of the house, 12 saying, ‘These, the last, worked one hour, and you made them equal to us, the ones having borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ 13 And answering one of them, he said, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me on a denarius? 14 Take what is yours and go. But I want to give to this last one as to you also. 15 Or is it not lawful for me to do what I want with what is mine? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’ Matthew 20:8-15, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
