Matthew 20:1-7

1“For the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

2Now when he had agreed with the workers for a denarius per day, he sent them into his vineyard.

3And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing in the marketplace, idle.

4And to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and I’ll give you whatever is right.’

5So they went. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour and did the same.

6And about the eleventh hour, he went out and found others standing around. And he said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle the whole day?’

7“‘Because no one hired us,’ they said to him. “He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard, too.’
