Matthew 20:7 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. No man hath hired us - This was the reason why they were all the day idle.

And whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive - Ye may expect payment in proportion to your labor, and the time ye spend in it; but this clause is wanting in some of the best MSS., versions, and fathers.
