Matthew 20:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ “·At the end of the day [When evening came], the owner of the vineyard said to the ·boss of all the workers [foreman; supervisor; steward], ‘Call the workers and pay them [^Ltheir wage]. Start with the last people I hired and end with those I hired first.’

⁹ “When the workers who were hired at ·five o’clock [^Lthe eleventh hour] came to get their pay, each received ·one coin [^La denarius; v. 2]. ¹⁰ When the workers who were hired first came to get their pay, they ·thought [expected; assumed] they would be paid more than the others. But each one of them also received ·one coin [^La denarius].
