Matthew 20:1 Douay-Rheims

The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

Gregory the Great

c. A.D. 540–604 Patristic

(ubi sup.) They get alike a denarius who have wrought since the eleventh hour, (for they sought it with their whole soul,) and who have wrought since the first. They, that is, who were called from the beginning of the world have alike received the reward of eternal happiness, with those who come to the Lord in the end of the world.
