30 But many of the first shall be last, and the last first.
Matthew 20 Intro: The kingdom of heaven likened unto a man hiring laborers in his vineyard.
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man, an house-holder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.
2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 And he went out about the third hour, and found others standing idle in the market place.
4 And said unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right, I will give you; and they went their way.
5 And again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour and did likewise.
6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7 They said unto him, Because no man hath hired us.
8 He said unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right ye shall receive.
9 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard said unto his steward, Call the laborers and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
