Matthew 20:1-3

New Testament for Everyone

The workers in the vineyard

20 “So you see,” Jesus continued, “the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. ² He agreed with the workers to give them a dinar a day, and sent them off to his vineyard.

³ “He went out again in the middle of the morning, and saw some others standing in the market-place with nothing to do.
