MATTHEW 20:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.”
And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. The eleventh-hour workers each receive a denarius — a full day's wage for one hour's work. The landowner's generosity to those who worked the least creates the expectation in the early workers' minds that they will receive proportionally more.
