And he went out about the third next following hour, and saw others standing unemployed inactive idle in the marketplace square bazaar , And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is just fair right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth noon midday and evening afternoon ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the last final eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day inactive idle unoccupied ? They say unto him, Because no man hath engaged hired employed us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. So when even dusk evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his manager steward overseer , Call the labourers, and give them their hire payment wages , beginning from the newest last final unto the first earliest original .
