Parable of the Labourers in the vineyard Matthew 20:1-16

Rabbis or teachers use stories to teach their students about philosophy of life.

Jesus taught with parables not to confuse his listeners but to provoke their thoughts.

Here is a parable of a boss who hired workers and paid them the same wage at the end of the day.

The master went out early in the morning to hire workers to work on his farm and agreed to pay them a penny per day. After a few hours, he went to the market to look for more labourers who could be of use on the farm. He told them he was going to pay them fairly. Then he went out to look for more labourers again at different hours of the day even to the eleventh hour. He paid them equally in the end but not everyone was happy.
