Matthew 20:6

6 About an hour before sundown, he went out, found still others standing around, and asked them, `Why have you been standing here all day, doing nothing?"

Matthew 20:6 In-Context

4 and said to them, `You go to the vineyard too -- I'll pay you a fair wage.' So they went.
5 At noon, and again around three in the afternoon, he did the same thing.
6 About an hour before sundown, he went out, found still others standing around, and asked them, `Why have you been standing here all day, doing nothing?"
7 They said to him, `Because no one hired us.' `You too,' he told them, `go to the vineyard.'
8 "When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, `Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last ones hired and ending with the first.'
