Good News Bible

Matthew 20:4-6 Good News Bible (GNB)

4. so he told them, ‘You also go and work in the vineyard, and I will pay you a fair wage.’

5. So they went. Then at twelve o'clock and again at three o'clock he did the same thing.

6. It was nearly five o'clock when he went to the market place and saw some other men still standing there. ‘Why are you wasting the whole day here doing nothing?’ he asked them.
