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.
Origen
Perhaps it is to Adam He says, Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst thou not agree with me for a denarius? Take that thine is, and go thy way. Salvation is thine, that is, the denarius. I will give unto this last also as unto thee. A person might not improbably suppose, that this last was the Apostle Paul, who wrought but one hour, and was made equal with all who had been before him.
