Matthew 20:10-15

10The workers who had come to work first thought that they would receive more than the other workers. But each of them also received one silver coin.

11When they received their money, they were not happy. They told the master that he had not been fair to them.

12They said to him, “Some of these other workers came last and only worked for one hour. But you have paid them the same money as you paid us. And we have worked all day in the hot sun.”

13Then the master said to one of the workers, “My friend, I am being fair to you. You agreed to work for one day and to receive one silver coin.

14Take your money and go home. I choose to give this last man the same amount of money as I gave to you.

15It is my money. I can choose what to do with it. I want to be kind to people and give them more than we agreed. Does that make you upset?” ’
