Matthew
King James Version (KJV)


“And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.”
King James Version (KJV)
20:9 Who were hired about the eleventh hour - Either the Gentiles, who were called long after the Jews into the vineyard of the Church of Christ; or those in every age who did not hear, or at least understand the Gospel call, till their day of life was drawing to a period. Some circumstances of the parable seem best to suit the former, some the latter of these senses.
Mt 20:9 They received every man a penny. More than most of them expected. God does not measure our reward by the length, but by the faithfulness of service.
And when they came that were hired about the eleuenth houre, they receiued euery man a penie.
