Matthew 20:12 in context

  1. 10When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
  2. 11When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
  3. 12saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’
  4. 13“But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?
  5. 14Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
