3He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
4To them he said, `You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.` So they went their way.
5Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
6About the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle. He said to them, `Why do you stand here all day idle?`
7They said to him, `Because no one has hired us.` He said to them, `You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.`
8When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward, `Call the laborers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last to the first.`
9When they who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.
