Commentary on Matthew 20:11

Theological / Devotional

Murmured. Or, “grumbled.” The disciples, who thought themselves “first” (see on ch. 18:1), no doubt recognized that Jesus here referred to them to a certain extent as grumblers (see ch. 19:27, 30). At least, they had not accepted service in the Lord’s “vineyard” in the trusting spirit of the laborers called later in the day (see on ch. 20:4).

Goodman of the house. See on v. 1.
