Jesus Uses a Story About Farm Workers
20 1"The kingdom of heaven is like a man that owned some land. The man grew grapes
on his land. One morning, the man went out very early to hire some other people
to work in his field. 2The man agreed to pay the workers one silver coin* for working
that day. Then the man sent the people into the field to work. 3"At about nine o'clock
the man went to the market place and saw some other people standing there. These
people were doing nothing. 4So the man said to them, 'If you go and work in my
field, I will pay you what your work is worth.' 5So the people went to work in the
field. "The man went out again about twelve o'clock and again at three o'clock.
Both times the man hired some other people to work in his field. 6At about five
o'clock the man went to the market place again. He saw some other people standing
there. The man asked them, 'Why did you stand here all day doing nothing?' 7"The
people said, 'No person gave us a job.' "The man said to them, 'Then you can go
and work in my field.' 8"At the end of the day, the owner of the field said to
the boss of all the workers, 'Call the workers and pay all of them. Start by paying
the last people I hired. Then pay all of them, ending with the workers I hired first.'
9"The workers that were hired at five o'clock came to get their pay. Each worker
got one silver coin.* 10Then those workers that were hired first came to get their
pay. Those workers thought they would be paid more than the other workers. But each
one of those workers also received one silver coin. 11When they got their silver
coin, these workers complained to the man that owned the land. 12The workers said,
'Those people were hired last and worked only one hour. But you paid them the same
as us. And we worked hard all day in the hot sun.' 13"But the man that owned the
field said to one of those workers, 'Friend, I am being fair with you. You agreed
to work for one silver coin. Right? 14So take your pay and go. I want to give the
man that was hired last the same pay that I gave you. 15I can do what I want with
my own money. Are you jealous because I am good [to those people]?' 16"So the people
that have the last place now will have the first place in the future. And the people
that have the first place now will have the last place in the future."
Footnotes: silver coin A Roman denarius. One coin was the average pay for one day's
work.
