Matthew 20:15 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? - q.d., 'You appeal to justice, and by that your mouth is shut; because the sum you agreed for is paid to you: Your case being disposed of, with the terms I make with other labourers you have nothing to do; and to grudge the benevolence shown to others, when by your own admission you have been honourably dealt with, is both unworthy envy of your neighbour, and discontent with the goodness that engaged and rewarded you in his service at all.'
