4 Y les dijo: Id también vosotros á mi viña, y os daré lo que fuere justo. Y ellos fueron.
5 Salió otra vez cerca de las horas sexta y nona, é hizo lo mismo.
6 Y saliendo cerca de la hora undécima, halló otros que estaban ociosos; y díceles: ¿Por qué estáis aquí todo el día ociosos?
7 Dícenle: Porque nadie nos ha ajustado. Díceles: Id también vosotros á la viña, y recibiréis lo que fuere justo.
