Matthew 20:11 Context
9And when they came that were hired about the eleuenth houre, they receiued euery man a penie. 10But when the first came, they supposed that they should haue receiued more, and they likewise receiued euery man a penie. 11And when they had receiued it, they murmured against the good man of the house, 12Saying, These last haue wrought but one houre, and thou hast made them equall vnto vs, which haue borne the burden, and heat of the day. 13But he answered one of them and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penie?
