Laborers
(Workers) in the Vineyard
Matthew 20: 1-16
****
Matthew 20: 1-16
20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like
unto a man that is an householder,
which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent
them into his vineyard.
20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in
the marketplace,
20:4 And said unto them;
Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you.
And they went their way.
20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle,
and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
20:7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us.
He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right,
that shall ye receive.
20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his
steward,
Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto
the first.
20:9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they
received every man a penny.
20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received
more;
and they likewise received every man a penny.
20:11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of
the house,
20:12 Saying,
These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them
equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
20:13 But he answered one of them, and said,
Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
20:14 Take that thine is, and go thy way:
I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?
Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called,
but few chosen.
