Matthew 20:7-8

Context
20:7 They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go and work in the vineyard too.’ 20:8 When 1  it was evening 2  the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and give the pay 3  starting with the last hired until the first.’

1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

2 sn That is, six o’clock in the evening, the hour to pay day laborers. See Lev 19:13b.

3 tc ‡ Most witnesses (including B D W Θ Ë1,13 33vid Ï latt sy) have αὐτοῖς (autois, “to them”) after ἀπόδος (apodos, “give the pay”), but this seems to be a motivated reading, clarifying the indirect object. The omission is supported by א C L Z 085 Or. Nevertheless, NA27 includes the pronoun on the basis of the greater external attestation.
