    2When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius{A denarius is a silver Roman coin worth 1/25th of a Roman aureus. This was a common wage for a day of farm labor.} a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

    3He went out about the third hour,{Time was measured from sunrise to sunset, so the third hour would be about 9:00 AM.} and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.

    4To them he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went their way.

    9"When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.

    10When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.

    11When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,

    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?'

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