Hi everyone. Welcome back to Logical Bible Study. If you're all new to this podcast, what we do here is we take a look at the gospel reading from today's Catholic Mass and we really pull it apart.

0:21.3

We really get into the text to see what it's saying on the most fundamental level.

0:25.3

What is the original author trying to say in their original context?

0:29.8

So this is called doing an exegesis of the literal sense of the text.

0:35.2

So really getting into the text and finding out what it meant to its original

0:38.6

1:40.3

So they went.

1:42.3

At about the sixth hour, and again at about the ninth hour, he went out and did the same.

1:49.1

Then at about the 11th hour, he went out and found more men standing round, and he said to them,

1:55.9

why have you been standing here idle all day? Because no one has hired us, they answered. He said to them,

2:03.7

you go into my vineyard too. In the evening, the owner of the vineyard said to his bailiff,

2:10.6
