4. He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and I will give you whatever is right.’
5. So they went. 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.’
9. When those hired about five o’clock came, each received a full day’s pay.
10. And when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more. But each one also received the standard wage.
