And those who came about the eleventh hour, each received a denarius.

And when the ten heard it, they were indignant about the two brothers.

And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he spoke about them.

And they send out their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou are true, and teach the way of God in truth, and it is not a concern to thee about a man, for thou look not to the personage of men.
