Workers in the Vineyard“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
And after agreeing with the workers for the standard wage, he sent them into his vineyard.
When it was about nine o’clock in the morning, he went out again and saw others standing around in the marketplace without work.
He said to them,‘You go into the vineyard too, and I will give you whatever is right.’
So they went. When he went out again about noon and three o’clock that afternoon, he did the same thing.
And about five o’clock that afternoon he went out and found others standing around, and said to them,‘Why are you standing here all day without work?’
