1. “For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2. After agreeing with the laborers for a denariusa 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 to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’
5. So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same.
6. And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’
7. They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’
