8 And it being evening, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the laborers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last even unto the first. 9 And those having come about the eleventh hour, received each man a denarion. 10 But the first having come supposed that they shall receive more; and themselves also received each one a denarion. 11 But receiving it, they murmured against the landlord, 12 saying, These labored one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who bore the burden of the day and the heat. 13 But he responding said to one of them, Comrade, I do thee no wrong; didst thou not agree with me for a denarion? 14 Take thine own, and go. I wish to give unto this last one, even as unto thee. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do as I wish with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? Matthew 20:8-15, Godbey New Testament.
