8. "When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last group to the first.'
9. When those hired about the eleventh hour came, each one received a denarius.
10. When those hired first came, they thought that they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius.
11. When they received it, they grumbled at the landowner,
12. saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.'
13. But he answered and said to one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius?
14. Take what is yours and go, but I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.
15. Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or is your eye envious because I am generous?'
16. So the last shall be first, and the first last."
17. As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them,
18. "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death,
19. and will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify Him, and on the third day He will be raised up."
