In context

¹¹On receiving their pay, they began to grumble against the landowner.

¹²‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’

¹³But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Did you not agree with me on one denarius?

¹⁴Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.

¹⁵Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
