Exegesis
The adverb hosautos {ὡσαύτως | hō-sau-tōs} ‘likewise’ links this hiring event back to the earlier ones, signaling that the same arrangement and action are repeated. In English, the formal rendering preserves the participial structure with “having gone out,” while the dynamic version converts the participle into a finite verb clause (“he went out again”) to make the temporal sequence more explicit for contemporary readers.
In context — Matthew 20:5
And they went away. Again, having gone out about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did likewise .
