1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man—the master of the house—who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
2 And after coming to an agreement with the workers for a 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 to those people he said, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and I will give you whatever is right.’
5 So they went. Going out again about the sixth and ninth hour he did the same thing.
6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing there and said to them, ‘Why are you standing here the whole day unemployed?’
7 They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go also into the vineyard.’
