Mattityahu 20:5 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 20:5

Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour
About twelve o'clock, or at noon, and three o'clock in the afternoon. These three last mentioned seasons of the day, were the hours of prayer; see ( Acts 2:15 ) ( 3:1 ) ( 10:9 ) and did likewise: seeing others in the same place, and posture, he called them, and sent them into his vineyard, to labour there, giving them the same promise he did to others.

Mattityahu 20:5 In-Context

3 And having gone out around the third hour, the Baal Bayit saw others loitering in the marketplace,
4 and he said to those, You go also into the kerem. And whatever is right, this is what your pay will be.
5 And they left. And again, having gone out around the sixth and the ninth hour, the Baal Bayit did the same thing.
6 And around the eleventh hour, having gone out, the Baal Bayit found others standing around, and he says to them, Why have you been standing here all the day not working?
7 The idle workers say to the Baal Bayit, Because no one hired us. The Baal Bayit says to them, You go also into the kerem.
