Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis ton ampelōna {εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα | eis tòn ampelôna} “into the vineyard” specifies the shared place of labor with the earlier groups. The English renderings preserve the two distinct speech units, maintain the emphatic “no one,” and reflect the inclusive force of “you also” by keeping the simple imperative “go” with an explicit destination.
In context — Matthew 20:7
They say to him, “Because no one has hired us.” He says to them, “You also go into the vineyard.”
