Publicans » Parable concerning
And he spake to certain trusting upon themselves that they were just, and setting at nought the rest, this parable: Two men went up to the temple to pray; one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee having stood, prayed these to himself, O God, I return thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or also as this publican. read more.
I fast twice of the Sabbath; I pay tithes of all I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not either lift up the eyes to heaven, but struck upon his breast, saying, God propitiate for me the sinful. I say to you, this one went down to his house justified rather than that one: for every one lifting up himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be lifted up.

And he says to them, Retire ye also into the vineyard, and whatever should be just I will give you: and they departed. Again, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise. And about the eleventh hour, having gone out, he found others standing idle, and he says to them, Why stand ye here idle the whole day? They say to him, That none has hired us. He says to them, Retire also to the vineyard; and whatever be just, ye shall receive. And it being evening, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the workmen, and give back to them the wages, beginning from the last even to the first. And they of the eleventh hour having come, thereupon received a drachma. And the first, having come, thought that they will receive more; and they also received thereupon a drachma. And having received, they murmured against the master of the house, Saying, That these last worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, having borne the burden and heat of the day. And he, having answered, said to one of them, Friend, I injure thee not; didst not thou agree with me for a drachma? Take thine and retire: and I will to give to this last, as also to thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my things? Or is thine eye evil because I am good
