'Hired' in the Bible

They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You go also into the vineyard.'

And [when] the ones [hired] about the eleventh hour came, they received a denarius apiece.

And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men [and] went away after him.

And he went [and] hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to tend pigs.

"But [when he] came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired workers have an abundance {of food}, and I am dying here from hunger!

I am no longer worthy to be called your son! Make me like one of your hired workers.'

The hired hand, who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf approaching and abandons the sheep and runs away--and the wolf seizes them and scatters [them]--

because he is a hired hand and {he is not concerned} about the sheep.
