Matthew 20:9-12 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

9. “The workers who were hired at five o’clock came to get their pay. Each worker got one silver coin.

10. Then the workers who were hired first came to get their pay. They thought they would be paid more than the others. But each one of them also received one silver coin.

11. When they got their silver coin, they complained to the man who owned the land.

12. They 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.’
