Matthew 20:1-16 For the kingdom of heaven is like to a man that is an householder… 1. I have been good in that I hired you at all. 2. Hired you before you had shown what you could do. 3. I now give you all I promised, without criticising your work. 4. In being good to others I do not wrong you.Learn, if one should say — "Since I shall be no better off in the end than those who began late to work for God, and I may therefore delay," he should reflect that this hour may be his eleventh. (J. C. Gray.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
