Matthew 20:1

Verse 1 of 34. The 20th of 28 chapters in Matthew, in The Gospels.

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 day, he sent them into his vineyard.

3He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.

4He said to them, ‘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, and did likewise.
