马太福音 20:10

10 及 至 那 先 雇 的 来 了 ， 他 们 以 为 必 要 多 得 ； 谁 知 也 是 各 得 一 钱 。

马太福音 20:10 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 20:10

But when the first came
Who were early hired into the vineyard; and design either the first saints that were in the world; or the Jews that first believed in Christ, either really or nominally; or such, who were called by grace in their early days:

they supposed,
or "hoped", as the Syriac version renders it,

that they should have received more;
than a penny, a greater reward: not that they could expect it on the foot of their agreement, or on account of their work; but because they observed, that they that came last into the vineyard, had as much as they agreed for; and therefore hoped, from the goodness of their Lord to them, that they should receive more:

and they likewise received every man a penny;
the selfsame privileges of the Gospel, and a title to the selfsame reward of free grace, the selfsame glory and happiness.

马太福音 20:10 In-Context

8 到 了 晚 上 ， 园 主 对 管 事 的 说 ： 叫 工 人 都 来 ， 给 他 们 工 钱 ， 从 後 来 的 起 ， 到 先 来 的 为 止 。

9 约 在 酉 初 雇 的 人 来 了 ， 各 人 得 了 一 钱 银 子 。

10 及 至 那 先 雇 的 来 了 ， 他 们 以 为 必 要 多 得 ； 谁 知 也 是 各 得 一 钱 。

11 他 们 得 了 ， 就 埋 怨 家 主 说 ：

12 我 们 整 天 劳 苦 受 热 ， 那 後 来 的 只 做 了 一 小 时 ， 你 竟 叫 他 们 和 我 们 一 样 麽 ？
