Bible verse
Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.
Matthew 20:14 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 20.
10 So when the original workers came, they assumed they would receive more. But each of them also received a denarius.
11 On receiving their pay, they began to grumble against the landowner.
12 ‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’
13 But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Did you not agree with me on one denarius?
14 Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.
15 Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
16 So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside and said,
18 “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn Him to death
