Jump to Previous Go Hire Hired Receive Rest Right Righteous Said Vineyard Whatever Whatsoever WorkJump to Next Go Hire Hired Receive Rest Right Righteous Said Vineyard Whatever Whatsoever WorkMatthew 20 1. Jesus, by the parable of the laborers in the vineyard, shows that God is debtor unto no man;17. foretells his passion; 20. by answering the mother of Zebedee's children, teaches his disciples to be humble; 29. and gives two blind men their sight. (7) Because no man hath hired us.--This, again, is one of the salient points of the parable. The last called labourers had not rejected any previous summons, and when called they obeyed with alacrity. They, too, came in full unquestioning faith.Verse 7. - No man hath hired us. A poor excuse, because, had they been at their post earlier, work would have been offered them. Go ye also into the vineyard. The householder accepts the excuse, and, now that they are desiring to labour, engages them as the others, promising to give them what is fair. Their present willingness seems to compensate for their previous tardiness. The clause, "whatsoever is right," etc., is omitted by some good manuscripts, the Vulgate, and other versions. Thus no mention of reward is made to these - they were satisfied by being employed at all. Parallel Commentaries ...
