Matthew 20:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² saying, ‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour, and yet you have rewarded them on the same level with us who have borne the greatest portion of the work and the heat of the day.’

¹³ “The owner replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am not treating you unfairly. Did you not agree with me to work for a denarius? ¹⁴ Take your pay and leave. I have chosen to pay the latecomers the same as I pay you.
