8When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward, `Call the laborers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last to the first.`
9When they 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!`
13But he answered one of them, `Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn`t you agree with me for a denarius?
14Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my will to give to this last just as much as to you.
