🍃🕊️ 03/10 - GospeL Verses 🕊️
(paraphrased)
1 - “For the kingdom of heaven” Jesus said, “is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers to work in his vineyard. 2 After agreeing with the workers for a denarius a day, he sent them out into the vineyard. 3 And later, around the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 so he said to them, ‘Go and work in the vineyard too, and I’ll pay you whatever’s fair.’ 5 So they went. Then again later, at about the sixth hour and also the ninth hour, he did the same. 6 Then at the eleventh hour he went out as well and found others standing idle. And he said, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ 7 They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ So he said, ‘Go and work in the vineyard too.’ 8 And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’ 9 And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. 10 Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius. 11 And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house, 12 saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have paid them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ 13 But he replied, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last one as I’ve given to you. 15 Am I not allowed to do what I choose with my own money? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’ 16 Thus shall last be first and first last.”
