Knowledge
John 8:31-32
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold
to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you
free.”
Labor
Matthew 20:1-14
1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out
early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard.
2 He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them
into his vineyard.
3 “About the third hour he went out and saw others
standing in the marketplace doing nothing.
4 He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I
will pay you whatever is right.’
5 So they went. “He went out again about the sixth hour and
the ninth hour and did the same thing.
6 About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others
standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long
doing nothing?’
7 “‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. “He said to
them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’
8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his
foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last
ones hired and going on to the first.’
9 “The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came
and each received a denarius.
10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to
receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius.
11 When they received it, 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
of the work and the heat of the day.’
13 “But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being
unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius?
14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired
last the same as I gave you.
