The parable of the workers in the vineyard
Jesus compared the kingdom of heaven to a landowner who hired workers throughout the day and generously paid each one the same wage. When the first workers complained, the landowner defended both his fairness and generosity, and Jesus said that the last will be first and the first last (Matthew 20:1-16).

📖 Matthew 20:1–3
1“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. 3About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.
