Matthew 20:1-3

The Voice

20 Jesus: The kingdom of heaven is like a wealthy landowner who got up early in the morning and went out, first thing, to hire workers to tend his vineyard. ² He agreed to pay them a day’s wage^[a] for the day’s work. The workers headed to the vineyard while the landowner headed home to deal with some paperwork. ³ About three hours later, he went back to the marketplace. He saw some unemployed men standing around with nothing to do.
