In context
4 ‘You also go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you whatever is right.’
5 So they went. He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing.
6 About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ he asked.
7 ‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. So he told them, ‘You also go into my vineyard.’
8 When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last ones hired and moving on to the first.’
9 The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius.
10 So when the original workers came, they assumed they would receive more. But each of them also received a denarius.
