“And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?”
And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them: why do you stand here idle all day? The eleventh hour (about 5 PM) workers are found still unemployed — they have stood in the marketplace all day without being hired. The question why do you stand here idle all day is not a rebuke but an inquiry: they have not been hired despite their availability.
