Mattityahu 20:14 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 20:14

Take that thine is
By agreement, and go thy way; out of my sight, give me no more trouble on this head; which looks like a dismissal from his service, and after privileges; and was true of many among the Jews, who were only nominal professors, and from whom the Gospel and ordinances of it were taken:

I will give unto this last
man that was called, and sent into the vineyard,

even as unto thee;
the same outward privileges, besides special grace, and eternal glory, which it looks as if the other had not.

15 Or is it not allowable for me to do what I wish with the things that are mine? Or do you look with a jealous ayin horo upon my goodness?
