Word of the Day - 11/25/2008

Horary

Horary means pertaining to an hour; indicating the hours.

In Matthew 20, Jesus tells a parable about vineyard workers who scoff at not being paid via a horary wage. (Matthew 20:1-16)

saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.' (Matthew 20:12, NASB)

Note: This painting of the parable of the workers in the vineyard by Andrea del Sarto (1486–1531) resides in the Louvre.
