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.
John Chrysostom (attributed)
For what is our hiring, and the wages of that hiring? The promise of eternal life; for the Gentiles knew neither God, nor God’s promises.
