20:1 - The kingdom of heaven is similar to a person that owns a house, who got up at the break of dawn to employ people to work on his ground.
20:2 - He sent them out into the vineyard after they had agreed upon the wage of a penny a day.
20:3 - About the third hour, he went out, and saw others standing around idly in the marketplace,
20:4 - He told them to go into the vineyard and whatever is right he would give to them. They then went on their way to the vineyard.
20:5 - He went out ever sixth to ninth hour and continued the same.
20:6 - Why stand idle all day when there is always work to be done.
20:7 - They said to him, Because no one hired us. He said to them, Go into the vineyard and you’ll receive whatever is right.
20:8 - When quitting time came, the boss said to his manager, Call the workers together and give them their pay, starting with the last ones hired and working your way back to the first ones hired.
20:9 - When those that were hired at the eleventh hour came in, each one also received a penny.
20:10 - Those who came first thought that they should have received more, but everyone received exactly the same amount.
