When he went out again about noon and three o’clock that afternoon, he did the same thing. 6 And about five o’clock that afternoon he went out and found others standing around, and said to them,‘Why are you standing here all day without work?’ 7 They said to him,‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them,‘You go and work in the vineyard too.’ 8 When it was evening the owner of the vineyard said to his manager,‘Call the workers and give the pay starting with the last hired until the first.’
