Matthew 20:8-13 English Revised Version (ERV)

8. And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.

9. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

10. And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

13. But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
