Matthew 20:1-16

Thoughts:      
Micah:             When did you start working here in the vineyard?
Haggai:            Oh, about an hour ago.
Zephaniah:      I’ve been working here since noon.
Habakkuk:       You’ve been here since noon, but how many grapes have you picked?
Hosea:             The owner should pay us according to how many bags we fill.
Obadiah:         Oh, good idea!  Maybe he’ll hire you to manage his vineyard.
Malachi:          Here come the owner and his steward now.
Zechariah:       Quitting time, guys.
                        (The laborers are paid.)
Amos:              I got $10.
Nahum:           You didn’t start working until three o’clock this afternoon!
Micah:             I started at nine this morning, and I just got $10.
Jonah:              Catch me working for that joker again!
                       
Discussion:      What do you think of the vineyard owner’s pay scale?
 
Activity:          Think about the owner’s statement: “Is your eye evil, because I am good?”
