3And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing in the marketplace, idle. 4And to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and I’ll give you whatever is right.’ So they went. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour and did the same. 6And about the eleventh hour, he went out and found others standing around. And he said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle the whole day?’ 7“‘Because no one hired us,’ they said to him. “He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard, too.’
