The Laborers in the Vineyard | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of the laborers in the vineyard, built around the householder’s question: “Is thine eye evil, because I am good?” (Matthew 20:15).

Follow a numbered map through the day, then look closer at the details. Context and a Greek word help, while the focus stays on the Savior.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The parable, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the sunrise, the vineyard, the penny, the marketplace, the eleventh hour, the heat, the eye, the gentle answer and grace
• Where are you in the vineyard? Working since morning, still waiting, coming late, or feeling it isn’t fair, with check-ins
• Hour by Hour: write what happened at each hour, then your own plan
• Their world, their words: Peter’s question, tender mercy, a day of work, not about wages, and a Greek word
• Look to Him: what prophets have taught, with Matthew 19:29
• Seek Him today: His invitation, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Personal and family Come, Follow Me study of Matthew 20, lessons on grace and envy, and youth or Primary classes any year
• Family home evening
• Primary, Sunday School, youth and seminary teachers
• Adults who want a deeper, well-sourced study
