Matthew 20:8 Context
6And about the eleuenth houre, he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith vnto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 7They say vnto him, Because no man hath hired vs. He saith vnto them, Go ye also into the vineyard: and whatsoeuer is right, that shall ye receiue. 8So when euen was come, the lord of the vineyard saith vnto his Steward, Call the labourers, and giue them their hire, beginning from the last, vnto the first. 9And when they came that were hired about the eleuenth houre, they receiued euery man a penie. 10But when the first came, they supposed that they should haue receiued more, and they likewise receiued euery man a penie.
