    12saying, 'These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!'

    13"But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn't you agree with me for a denarius?

    14Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.

    15Isn't it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?'
