Matthew 20:1–5
1
“For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
3
He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
4
He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.
5
Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
