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
But we ought not to pursue through every particular the circumstances of a parable, but enter into its general scope, and seek nothing further. This then is not introduced in order to represent some as moved with envy, but to exhibit the honour that shall be given us as so great as that it might stir the jealousy of others.
