1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 365DGSP 225.2

2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 365DGSP 225.3

3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 365DGSP 225.4

4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 365DGSP 225.5

5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 365DGSP 225.6

6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 365DGSP 225.7

7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. 365DGSP 225.8

8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 365DGSP 225.9

9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 365DGSP 225.10

10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. 365DGSP 225.11

11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 365DGSP 225.12

12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. 365DGSP 225.13

13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 365DGSP 225.14

14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 365DGSP 225.15

15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 365DGSP 225.16

16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. 365DGSP 225.17
