13“But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? (Matthew 20:13)
Thoughts: The first group of workers had probably bargained with the landowner before they went out into the field. 20:2 says that the landowner agreed to pay a denarius with them before they were sent into the field. The second and third group were simply told that he would pay them what was right. The last group hired at 5:00 were just told to go out there. The owner did not pay them any more nor any less than what they had bargained for. The workers had a problem with the landowners generosity and mercy.
Prayer: Help me, Lord, to trust our mercy.
