MATTHEW 20:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.”
Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. The take what belongs to you and go is the firm conclusion of the contract argument. The I choose communicates the sovereign freedom of the landowner to give generously beyond the contract's terms to those who have less. The equal gift to the eleventh-hour workers is not an injustice to the early workers but a grace to the late ones.
