Context of Matthew 20:11
9And when they [who came to work] about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius. 10And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they received also themselves each a denarius. And on receiving it they murmured against the master of the house, 12saying, These last have worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the heat. 13But he answering said to one of them, [My] friend, I do not wrong thee. Didst thou not agree with me for a denarius?

Commentaries on Matthew 20:11
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11They murmured - The Jews made the preaching of the Gospel to the Gentiles, a pretense why they should reject that Gospel; as they fondly imagined they were, and should be, the sole objects of the Divine approbation. How they murmured because the Gentiles were made partakers of the kingdom of God; see Acts 11:1, etc., and Acts 15:1, etc. There are many similitudes of this kind among the Jews, where the principal part even of the phraseology of our Lord's…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11Murmured - Complained; found fault with.
