Publicans » Parable concerning
And to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised all others, he spoke this parable: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself thus: O God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. read more.
I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I gain. But the publican, standing afar off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven; but smote his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner! I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one that exalteth himself will be humbled; but he that humbleth himself will be exalted.

Wages » Parable concerning
For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. And having agreed with the laborers for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace; read more.
and said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is right, I will give you. And they went. Again going out about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did likewise. And going out about the eleventh hour, he found others standing, and saith to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say to him, Because no one hath hired us. He saith to them, Go ye also into the vineyard. And when evening came, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the laborers, and give them their pay, beginning with the last, and going on to the first. And they who were hired about the eleventh hour came, and received each a denary. But when the first came, they supposed that they should receive more; and they too received each a denary. And when they had received it, they murmured against the householder, saying, These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answering said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou agree with me for a denary? Take thy due, and go. But I will give to this last even as to thee. Am I not free to do what I will with my own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
