1. "The kingdom of heaven is like the father of a family who went out in early morning to lead workers into his vineyard.
2. Then, having made an agreement with the workers for one denarius per day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3. And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
4. And he said to them, 'You may go into my vineyard, too, and what I will give you will be just.'
5. So they went forth. But again, he went out about the sixth, and about the ninth hour, and he acted similarly.
6. Yet truly, about the eleventh hour, he went out and found others standing, and he said to them, 'Why have you stood here idle all day?'
