How does this square with the Biblical parable of the Workers in the Vineyard?

Jesus was obviously trying to deal with the fact that most contemporary Jews would have found it unfair that the workers who went to the vineyard late in the day would receive the same pay as those who started at dawn. Would they not have had to have some concept of “fairness” if Christ felt a need to try and overcome it?

The Jews of Christ’s time were also influenced by the Greeks.

What the "new testament" says is not of the slightest interest or concern to me.

You chrstians who are daily cutting each other to shreds and disproving each other's beliefs would be much better off (and in tune with Truth) if you put it in file 13 along with the "book of mormon" so many of you constantly trash.

That was not originally written in Hebrew. It was written in the Roman Empire, long after the Bible was written.
