In verses 1-16 of this chapter, we have Jesus telling a story about a man who hires laborers for a denarius a day. At the third hour, he hires more for an undisclosed fair wage. This continues until he hires people near the end of the workday.
When it comes time for payment, he gives the laborers hired last one denarious. Those hired for the agreed-upon denarius a day think they should get more. They complain when they also get a denarius. These laborers came with the attitude to serve but then expected to be served.
While this may seem like God treats people equally, we have other examples in Scripture where people were given different amounts according to their abilities (parable of the talents).
