Explanation : Jesus tells the story of a rich man who owned a big vineyard. From the early morning he went to the market to hire workers for the land. He made a work contract for a denary a day. But every hour he went to the market, there were still laborers waiting for a job. To work for the last hour he sent them to the vineyard and promised to pay them properly too. In the evening he ordered his foreman to pay first the last laborer also one denary. When the first laborers came forward to receive their payment, they were jealous and expected to receive more than the last laborers. But they got one denary according to the contract. They protested, it was not fair. The landowner said, “I have mercy for the last laborers. Am I not allowed to be good with my money?” (Mat 20:1-19).

Penjelasan : Yesus bercerita mengenai seorang kaya yang punya suatu kebun anggur. Pagi hari ia pergi ke pasar untuk menyewa pekerja untuk panen. Ia membuat kontrak membayar upah 1 dinar sehari. Setiap jam ia terus pergi ke pasar dan mencari pekerja. Sampai jam terakhir, tetap masih ada yang menganggur dan mencari pekerjaan. Merekapun dikirim ke kebunnya dengan janji akan diberi upah sepantasnya. Sore hari ia menyuruh mandornya untuk membayar terlebih dahulu pekerja satu jam terakhir dan memberikannya juga 1 dinar. Para pekerja yang mulai bertugas sejak pagi mulai iri hati, protes, menuntut upah lebih besar. Tapi Tuhan berkata, “Saya berikan sesuai dengan kontrak 1 dinar sehari, pulanglah, apakah saya tak boleh berbelaskasih dengan uang milikKu?” (Mat 20:1-19).
