Doctrine and Covenants D&C 33:3
"For behold, the field is white already to harvest; and it is the eleventh hour, and the last time that I shall call laborers into my vineyard."
New Testament Matthew 20:6
"And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?"

The shared run is short (three words) and is registered because the surrounding material matches: the parable's householder 'went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard' (Matthew 20:1), and the revelation's own clause is a calling of laborers into a vineyard at that same hour. 'the eleventh hour' stands at exactly three frozen verses: D&C 33:3, Matthew 20:6, Matthew 20:9. What the revelation adds — that this is the last such call — has no counterpart in the parable.
