    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.'

    13But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius?'

    14'Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you.'

    15'Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'

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