Przyszedłszy też i pierwsi, mniemali, że więcej wezmą; ale wzięli i oni, każdy z nich, po groszu.
10 Gdy natomiast przyszli pierwsi, sądzili, że więcej otrzymają; ale i oni otrzymali po denarze.
Gdy podeszli pierwsi, sądzili, że dostaną więcej, lecz i oni otrzymali po denarze.
Zaś kiedy przyszli pierwsi, mniemali, że otrzymają więcej; ale i oni otrzymali, każdy z nich po denarze.
Gdy przyszli pierwsi, sądzili, że dostaną więcej, ale również każdy z nich otrzymał po groszu.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But when the first came,.... Who were early hired into the vineyard; and design either the first saints that were in the world; or the Jews that first believed in Christ, either really or nominally; or such, who were called by grace in their early days:
they supposed, or "hoped", as the Syriac version renders it,
that they should have received more; than a penny, a greater reward: not that they could expect it on the foot of their agreement, or on account of their work; but because they observed, that they that came last into the vineyard, had as much as they agreed for; and therefore hoped, from the goodness of their Lord to them, that they should receive more:
and they likewise received every man a penny; the selfsame privileges of the Gospel, and a title to the selfsame reward of free grace, the selfsame glory and happiness.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
They supposed that they should have received more - They had worked longer - they had been in the heat; they supposed that it was his intention to pay them, not according to contract, but according to the time of the labor.
