Wednesday of the Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 20:1-16

He said to one of them in reply,

"My friend, I am not cheating you.

Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage?

Take what is yours and go.

What if I wish to give this last one the same as you?

Or am I not free to do as I wish with my own money?

Are you envious because I am generous?"
