1. As Jesus was telling what the kingdom of heaven would be like, he said:Early one morning a man went out to hire some workers for his vineyard.
2. After he had agreed to pay them the usual amount for a day's work, he sent them off to his vineyard.
3. About nine that morning, the man saw some other people standing in the market with nothing to do.
4. He said he would pay them what was fair, if they would work in his vineyard.
5. So they went.At midday and again about three in the afternoon he returned to the market. And each time he made the same agreement with others who were lazing around with nothing to do.
