Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οἱ & ἀπῆλθον
they & went_away
Here Jesus implies that the people went to the vineyard and began to work there. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “they went to the vineyard and worked there”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἀπῆλθον
went_away
In a context such as this, your language might say “came” instead of went. Alternate translation: “came out”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἐξελθὼν
/having/_come_out
In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of gone. Alternate translation: “Having come out”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
περὶ ἕκτην καὶ ἐνάτην ὥραν
about /the/_sixth and ninth hour
In this culture, people began counting the hours each day beginning around daybreak at six o’clock in the morning. So, the sixth hour would be around noon, and the ninth hour would be around three o’clock in the afternoon. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this in the way the people of your culture reckon time. See how you translated the similar time reference in 20:3. Alternate translation: “about 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM”
Note 5 topic: translate-ordinal
ἕκτην καὶ ἐνάτην ὥραν
/the/_sixth and ninth hour
If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “hours six and nine”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐποίησεν ὡσαύτως
˱he˲_did likewise
Here Jesus means that the master of the house did and said the same things that he said and did at “the third hour” (see 20:3–4). He also implies that there were people in the marketplace who agreed to work in his vineyard. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make some or all of that information more explicit. Alternate translation: “he told even more people that he would pay them whatever was right, and they too agreed to work in his vineyard”
