Bible Note: Hi Lionstrong, The story was a matter of generosity and the landowner being able to give to the last man the same as to the first. There was no injustice for verse 13 says, "Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what is yours and go your way, but I wish to give to this last man the same as to you." Jesus is saying in Matthew 19:29, "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My names's sake, shall receive many times as much, and shall inherit eternal life." I am of the opinion that it is He who continues in Matthew 20:15, "Is it not lawful for Me to do what I wish with what is My own? Or is your eye envious because I am generous?"; thus completing or tying in His thoughts. The word envious according to my Study Bible is literally "evil" and the word generous is literally "good". This would bring the passage back to Matthew 19:17, "And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." Later, Ray |
