“They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.”
They said to him: because no one has hired us. He said to them: you go into the vineyard too. The frank answer — no one has hired us — communicates the workers' situation: a full day of unemployment, now with one hour left before sunset ends the working day. The go into the vineyard too is the landowner's gracious offer of an hour's work at the end of the day.
