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

    2He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.

    3About the third hour, he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.

    4He told them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.'

    5So they went. He went out again around the sixth and ninth hours and did the same thing.

    6About the eleventh hour, he went out and found others standing idle. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day doing nothing?'

    7They answered, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard.'

    8When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last and going to the first.'

    9The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius.

    10So when the first ones came, they expected to receive more. But each of them also received a denarius.

    11When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner.

    12'These who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.'
