Matthew 20:1-6

Context
Workers in the Vineyard

20:1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner 1  who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 20:2 And after agreeing with the workers for the standard wage, 2  he sent them into his vineyard. 20:3 When it was about nine o’clock in the morning, 3  he went out again and saw others standing around in the marketplace without work. 20:4 He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and I will give you whatever is right.’ 20:5 So they went. When 4  he went out again about noon and three o’clock that afternoon, 5  he did the same thing. 20:6 And about five o’clock that afternoon 6  he went out and found others standing around, and said to them, ‘Why are you standing here all day without work?’
