Matthew 20:8-16

8“So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.’

9And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.

10But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.

11And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,

12saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.’

13But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?

14Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.

15Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’

16So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.”
