Matthew 20:6. And about the eleventh hour--
Why, then, surely the day was over. They were ready to put away their tools and go home. But--
Matthew 20:6. He went out, and find others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
"Why?" Can you give a reason for it? Why stand ye here in the market-place, where men come together on purpose to be hired? Why stand ye here, ye able-bodied ones that still might work? Why stand ye here all the day? That ye should be idle a little while is bad enough. Why stand ye here all the day, and why stand ye here all the day idle, when there is so much work to be done, and such a wage to receive for it?
