10 When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
11 When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
12 saying, `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!`
13 But he answered one of them, `Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn`t you agree with me for a denarius?
14 Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my will to give to this last just as much as to you.
15 Isn`t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?`
16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen."
