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.
Augustine of Hippo
(de Sanc. Virg. 26.) Because that life eternal shall be equal to all the saints, a denarius is given to all; but forasmuch as in that life eternal the light of merits shall shine diversely, there are with the Father many mansions; so that under this same denarius bestowed unequally one shall not live longer than another, but in the many mansions one shall shine with more splendour than another.
