Jesus said, for the kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that is a householder, which went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.

And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

Now, a penny was a denarius, and it was just a day's wage, the average day's wage.

marketplace to go out and work in his vineyard.

About the third hour, 9 o'clock in the morning, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
