“For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.”
For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard — introduced with for, connecting it to the first-last reversal of 19:30 — is the illustration of the kingdom's grace-driven economy. The landowner who hires workers throughout the day is the parable's central figure; the vineyard is the kingdom's work.
