Contextual Overview

1 "For the holy nation of heaven is like the owner of a grape-field. He went out early in the morning to hire workmen to work in his grape-field. 2 He promised to give them a day's pay and then sent them to his grape-field. 3 Later in the morning he went to the center of the town where people gather. He saw men standing there doing nothing. 4 He said to them, ‘You go to my grape-field and work also. Whatever is right, I will pay you.' And they went. 5 Again he went out about noon and at three o'clock and did the same thing. 6 About five o'clock he went out and still found others doing nothing. He asked them, ‘Why do you stand here all day and do nothing?' 7 They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.' He said, ‘Go to my grape-field and work. Whatever is right, I will pay you.' 8 "When evening came, the owner of the grape-field said to the boss of the workmen, ‘Call the workmen. Give them their pay. Start with the last ones hired and go on to the first ones hired.' 9 The workmen who had been hired at five o'clock came up. Each one of them got a day's pay for his work. 10 When the workmen who had been hired the first thing in the morning came, they thought they would get more. But each one got a day's pay.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Take that thine is,.... By agreement, and go thy way; out of my sight, give me no more trouble on this head; which looks like a dismissal from his service, and after privileges; and was true of many among the Jews, who were only nominal professors, and from whom the Gospel and ordinances of it were taken:

I will give unto this last man that was called, and sent into the vineyard,

even as unto thee; the same outward privileges, besides special grace, and eternal glory, which it looks as if the other had not.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Take that thine is - Take what is justly due to you what is properly your own.
