Matthew
Chapters 20:8-14
Revised Version 1885
8And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
9And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
10And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
11And when they received it, they murmured against the householder,
12saying, These last have spent but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.
13But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
14Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee.
