    5So they went. He went out again around the sixth and ninth hours and did the same thing.

    6About the eleventh hour, he went out and found others standing idle. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day doing nothing?'

    8When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last and going to the first.'

    9The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius.

    10So when the first ones came, they expected to receive more. But each of them also received a denarius.

    11When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner.
