So they went. When he went out again about noon and about three o’clock, he did the same. And about five o’clock he went out and found others standing around, and he said to them, ‘Why are you standing here idle all day?’ They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard.’
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:2-3).

Joseph Benson suggests that they were obliged to wait outside as they could not come nearer "because of the multitude that sat about him". [2] The motive for the visit of the brothers appears in Mark's and John's Gospels, "that they might take Him with them, and bring Him to Nazareth. For they said that He was beside Himself" (Mark 3:21).
