    1For the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

    2And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

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

    4And said to them, Go also into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. So they went.

    5Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

    6And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said to them, Why do you stand here all day idle?

    7They said to him, Because no man has hired us. He said to them, Go also into the vineyard; and whatever is right, that you shall receive.

    8So when evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the laborers, and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.

    9And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a penny.

    10But when the first came, they supposed they would receive more; and they likewise each received a penny.

    11And when they had received it, they grumbled against the master of the house,

    12Saying, These last have worked but one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.
