matthew 20:6 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?

matthew 20:6 "And about the eleventh [hour] he went out, and found others standing; and he said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day long?'

6. And about the eleventh hour--but one hour before the close of the working day; a most unusual hour both for offering and engaging
and found others standing idle, and saith, Why stand ye here all the day idle?--Of course they had not been there, or not been disposed to offer themselves at the proper time; but as they were now willing, and the day was not over, and "yet there was room," they also are engaged, and on similar terms with all the rest.

matthew 20:6 "And about the eleventh [hour] he went out, and found others standing; and he said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day long?'
