And so, when those who had arrived about the eleventh hour came forward, each received a single denarius.
Then when the first ones also came forward, they considered that they would receive more. But they, too, received one denarius.
And upon receiving it, they murmured against the father of the family,
saying, ‘These last have worked for one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who worked bearing the weight and heat of the day.’
But responding to one of them, he said: ‘Friend, I caused you no injury. Did you not agree with me to one denarius?
Take what is yours and go. But it is my will to give to this last, just as to you.
And is it not lawful for me to do what I will? Or is your eye wicked because I am good?’
