Matthew 20:1
The Laborers in the Vineyard; The Ambitious Mother
SUMMARY OF MATTHEW 20: The Householder and the Laborers. Those Hired at
the Eleventh Hour. The Recompense to All. The Lord's Sufferings at
Jerusalem Portrayed. The Ambition of the Mother of Zebedee's Sons.
The Baptism of Suffering. Two Blind Men Healed at Jericho.
For the kingdom of heaven. This parable is added to illustrate what
was said just before, in the last chapter.
A man [that is] a householder. The householder represents God, the
vineyard is the kingdom of Christ, the laborers his disciples.
Went out early in the morning to hire. Said to be a common custom
in the East. Unemployed laborers gather in the market place of the
villages, waiting for an employer.
