A Parable for Our Study“The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder,” Christ declared, “which went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market place, and said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. {9T 73.3}

»Thi himlens rige er som en Husbond,« erklærede Kristus, »som gik ud tidlig om morgnen for at leje arbejdere til sin vingård. Og da han var blevet enig med arbejderne om en penning om dagen, sendte han dem bort til sin vingård. Og han gik ud ved den tredje time og så andre stå ledige på torvet og til dem sagde han: Gå også I bort til vingården og hvad ret er, vil jeg give eder. Og de gik afsted.
