^{“THOSE HIRED AT FIVE O’CLOCK CAME UP AND WERE EACH GIVEN A DOLLAR. WHEN THOSE WHO WERE HIRED FIRST SAW THAT, THEY ASSUMED THEY WOULD GET FAR MORE. BUT THEY GOT THE SAME, EACH OF THEM ONE DOLLAR. TAKING THE DOLLAR, THEY GROUSED ANGRILY TO THE MANAGER, ‘THESE LAST WORKERS PUT IN ONLY ONE EASY HOUR, AND YOU JUST MADE THEM EQUAL TO US, WHO SLAVED ALL DAY UNDER A SCORCHING SUN.’ ”                      MATTHEW 20:9-12 THE MESSAGE (MSG)}
