The Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 20, verses 1-16.

1 for the Kingdom of Heaven is like the owner of the house, which went out early in the morning to hire workers in the vineyard

2 and, having agreed with the workers in dinaria for the day, he sent them to his vineyard;

3 Out of about the third hour, he saw others standing on the merchant, idly,

4 And they told them: go to my vineyard, and what will follow, give you. They went.

5 Once again, about the sixth and ninth hours, he did the same.

6 Finally, having left about the eleventh hour, he found others standing idly, and says to them: what are you standing here all day idly?

7 They tell him: no one hired us. He tells them: go to my vineyard, and what will follow, get.

8 When the evening came, says Mr. Vinogradnik's ruler: call the workers and give them a fee, starting from the latter to the first.

9 and those who came about the eleventh hour received dinaria.

10 who came first thought that they would receive more, but they also received dinaria;

11 and, having received, began to murmur to the owner of the house

12 And they said: these latter worked one hour, and you equalized them with us, which have suffered the burden of the day and heat.

13 He in response said to one of them: friend! I do not offend you; Didn't you agree with me for the dinar?

14 take yours and go; I want to give this latter the same as you;

15 Aren't I powerful to do what I want? Or is your eye envious because I'm kind?

16 So will be the latter first, and the first last, for many called, and few elect.

Each Easter night, the jubilant triumph of Christ Easter is suspended in order to hear the words of St. John Chrysostom again and again, once told by him on the day of Holy Easter. Among other things, St. John mentions the parable that we heard today. He interprets her in the context of Easter glee and calls to enter the joy of Easter triumph of any person who was suffering and not fasting, the one who spent the pre -passhant days in the writings of repentance from the very first day and the one who began this work shortly before Easter. It may seem that both the parachus and its reading by St. John indicate the admissibility of some relaxation, because still the former will be equated to the latter and everyone will expect the same reward and the same joy. Moreover, it is more profitable to be the latter in every sense: to work less and does not reproach Christ for the question that those who spent all day in the vineyard. Yes, in fact, it will not be in the thoughts of this issue, because the mind will pierce gratitude to the generous owner. But, of course, Christ the Savior did not strive for this to encourage us. This parable that there is no and there can be no place in relations with God and, moreover, there is no place in them to the crafty desire of any mercenary to work less, but to get more. The words of the parable urge Christians not to be mercenaries in relation to God. The joy of the kingdom of heaven, the joy of being with God is self -charged. The work of the thoroughness that the Christian carries in his earthly life is the beginning of the Kingdom of Christ, as a reward for this work, all -merciful and generous Lord makes it possible to feel joy and glee now and here. To feel such joy and glee that defeat all hardships and illnesses, defeat fatigue and poverty, loneliness and fear.
