40:019:030 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
40:020:001 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.
40:020:002 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
40:020:003 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
40:020:004 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
40:020:005 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
40:020:006 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
40:020:007 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
40:020:008 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
40:020:009 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
