This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 20:14. Τὸ σὸν, that which is THINE) There is an evident contrast intended between these words and ἐν τοῖς ἐμοῖς, with MY OWN, in the following verse.-ὕπαγε, Depart) This expression is not addressed to those who came at the eleventh hour.-θέλω, I will) The force of this word is very great.[882] See Mat 20:15, and cf. Gnomon on Mar 12:38.-ΤΟΎΤῼ Τῷ ἘΣΧΆΤῼ, to this last) The expression is repeated from the speech of the murmurer, but used in the singular number, and applied to the last of the last. Every one who is envious, envies some one individually.-σοὶ, to thee) The addition, “who hast borne the burden and heat of the day,” is not repeated.
[882] i.e. denoting the absolute freedom of GOD’S Grace, and the entire sovereignty of His Will.-(I. B.)
