MATTHEW 20:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,”
And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house. The grumbling — the same word used for Israel's grumbling in the wilderness (Exodus 16:7–8) — communicates the early workers' complaint against the landowner's decision. The complaint is not about the wage they agreed to but about the wage others received. The grumbling is the comparison that the kingdom's economy does not support.
