Bible Commentary for Matthew 20:7

Wesley's Notes for Matthew 20:7


20:6 About the eleventh hour - That is, very late; long after the rest were called.

20:8 In the evening - Of life; or of the world.

20:9 Who were hired about the eleventh hour - Either the Gentiles, who were called long after the Jews into the vineyard of the Church of Christ; or those in every age who did not hear, or at least understand the Gospel call, till their day of life was drawing to a period. Some circumstances of the parable seem best to suit the former, some the latter of these senses.
