"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2
Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3
And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4
and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.
5
Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
6
And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?'
7
They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'
