    1"For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

    2When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius{A denarius is a silver Roman coin worth 1/25th of a Roman aureus. This was a common wage for a day of farm labor.} a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

    3He went out about the third hour,{Time was measured from sunrise to sunset, so the third hour would be about 9:00 AM.} and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.

    4To them he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went their way.

    5Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour,{noon and 3:00 P. M.} and did likewise.

    6About the eleventh hour{5:00 PM} he went out, and found others standing idle. He said to them, 'Why do you stand here all day idle?'

    7"They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' "He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.'

    9"When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.

    10When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.

    11When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,

    12saying, 'These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!'
