"Parable of the Vineyard Owner" (Matthew 19:30-20:16)
"Parable of the Vineyard Owner"
Scripture: Matthew 19:30-20:16
30 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
20 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 and said to them, ''You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.'' So they went. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, ''Why have you been standing here idle all day?'' 7 They said to him, ''Because no one hired us.'' He said to them, ''You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.''
8 "So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ''Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.'' 9 And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius. 10 But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius. 11 And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner, 12 saying, ''These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.'' 13 But he answered one of them and said, ''Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?'' 16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen."

"Parable of Forgiveness and Unforgiveness" (Matthew 18:21-35)
"Parable of Forgiveness and Unforgiveness"
Scripture: Matthew 18:21-35
21 Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"
22 Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. 23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ''Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.'' 27 Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
28 "But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ''Pay me what you owe!'' 29 So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ''Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.'' 30 And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. 32 Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ''You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. 33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?'' 34 And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.
35 "So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses."
