He said to them,‘ Why do you stand here all day idle?’“ They said to him,‘ Because no one has hired us.’“ He said to them,‘ You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager,‘ Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.’“ When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,saying,‘ These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’“ But he answered one of them,‘ Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’

He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him to the Year of Jubilee. The price of his sale shall be according to the number of years; he shall be with him according to the time of a hired servant.
