11 Y tomándolo, murmuraban contra el padre de familia

Mateo 20:11 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 20:11

And when they had received it
The external privileges of the Gospel dispensation, an inheritance among them that are sanctified, and a right unto it, on the foot of free grace,

they murmured against the good man of the house;
who had been so kind and liberal, to those who came last into the vineyard, and had done no injury to them, but gave them a full reward. So the Jews that first believed in Christ, were at first uneasy at the Gospel being preached to the Gentiles, at the calling of them, and their partaking of the same privileges in a Gospel church state with them, without submitting to the ceremonies of the law, as they had done; just as the Pharisees, in Christ's time, murmured against him; for receiving sinners, and eating with them: though in the latter day, the envy of Ephraim shall depart, and in the ultimate glory there will be no murmuring at each other's happiness.

Mateo 20:11 In-Context

9 Y viniendo los que habían ido cerca de la hora undécima, recibieron cada uno un denario

10 Y viniendo también los primeros, pensaron que habían de recibir más; pero también ellos recibieron cada uno un denario

11 Y tomándolo, murmuraban contra el padre de familia

12 Diciendo: Estos postreros sólo han trabajado una hora, y los has hecho iguales a nosotros, que hemos llevado la carga y el calor del día

13 Y él respondiendo, dijo a uno de ellos: Amigo, no te hago agravio; ¿no te concertaste conmigo por un denario
