And those who came about the eleventh hour, received a denarius [14 cents] each. And those who came first supposed that they should receive more. And they also received a denarius [14 cents] each; and when they had received it, they complained of the householder, saying, These last have worked but one hour, and you have made them equal with us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.

And he delivered them another parable, saying; The kingdom of heaven is like a man sowing good seed in his field; and while the men slept, his enemy came and sowed poisonous darnel in the midst of the wheat, and went away.

And he said, No; lest in taking out the poisonous darnel, you pull up the wheat with it; let both grow together till the harvest, and at the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers, Collect first the poisonous darnel, and bind it in bundles to be burnt; but collect the wheat in my storehouse. He delivered them another parable, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field, which is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown is the greatest of plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and lodge on its branches. He spoke another parable to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three sata [33 quarts] of flour, till the whole was leavened. All these things spoke Jesus to the multitudes in parables; and without a parable spoke he not to them; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will declare things which have been concealed from the foundation of the world. Then leaving the multitudes; he went into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the poisonous darnel of the field. And he answered and said to them, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man; the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the poisonous darnel are the children of the wicked one; the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the consummation of the world; and the reapers are angels. As, therefore, poisonous darnel is collected and burned with fire, so shall it be at the consummation of the world. The Son of man will send his angels, and they shall collect out of his kingdom all offenses, and all that commit wickedness, and cast them into a furnace of fire; and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous shall shine out like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear. The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field, which a man found, and concealed, and went away with joy, and sold all that he had and bought that field. Again; the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, finding one very costly, went and sold all that he had and bought it. Again; the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, and collecting [fish] of every kind, which, when it was full, men drew to the shore, and sifting down put up the good in vessels and cast the bad away. So shall it be at the consummation of the world. The angels shall come forth and separate the evil from the midst of the good, and cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Have you understood all these thing? They said to him, Yes, Lord. And he said to them, Every scribe therefore that is instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like a householder who casts out of his treasury things new and old.

On this account, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wished to settle with his servants. And beginning to settle, a debtor of ten thousand talents [$10,000,000] was brought to him.

But that servant went out and found one of his fellow-servants who owed him one hundred denarii [$14], and seizing him, he choked him, saying, Pay what you owe me. Then his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me and I will pay you. But he would not; but went and cast him into prison till he should pay the debt. Then his fellow-servants seeing what was done, were greatly displeased, and went and related to their lord all things that were done. Then his lord called him, and said to him, Evil servant; I forgave you all that debt because you besought me [to do it]. Ought you not also to pity your fellow-servant, as I pitied you? And his lord was displeased, and delivered him to the tormentors till he should pay all the debt. So also will my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not each one his brother from your hearts.

And one of those reclining with him, hearing these things, said to him, Blessed is he that eats bread in the kingdom of God. And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.

And another said, I have bought five yokes of oxen and I go to try them; I pray you have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come. And the servant came and reported to his lord these things. Then the master of the house; being angry, said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and maimed, and blind, and lame. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as you commanded, and yet there is room. And the Lord said to the servant, Go out into the ways and along the hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled; for I tell you that none of those men that were invited shall taste of my supper.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

And the king shall answer and say to them, I tell you truly, that inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these my brothers, you have done it to me.
