SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 20:1–16: Jesus told a parable about vineyard workers

In this section, Jesus told a parable about some vineyard workers and the man who owned the vineyard. Even though the workers worked for a different number of hours, the owner gave them all the same pay. This parable continues the discussion about rewards for being a disciple (19:27–29). It also helps to explain the meaning of the saying “many who are first will be last, and the last will be first” (19:30). The main point of the parable is about God’s grace. In the kingdom, God gives his servants much more than they deserve. In the kingdom, the values are different than the values here on earth.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The story about men who worked in a field of grapes

A story that shows God’s generosity/grace

Rewards for serving God

This parable occurs only in the book of Matthew.

20:11

On receiving their pay, they began to grumble against the landowner.

When they received it, they started complaining to the landowner,
After they had received their coin/wages, they began criticizing the owner of the field of grapes.

On receiving their pay: The words their pay refer to the single coin that the workers received as their wages.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

When they received their pay (NLT)

When they got their coin (NCV)

they began to grumble against: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as grumble means talked quietly and expressed unhappiness about something. In Greek, the form of this verb indicates that this grumbling started and was continuing.

The word translated as against also means “at.”

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

they began complaining to (CEV)

they started criticizing

the landowner: This phrase translates the same Greek word as in 20:1a. You should translate it here as you did there.

uW Translation Notes:

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λαβόντες Δέ ἐγόγγυζον κατά τοῦ οἰκοδεσπότου)

Here, the word But introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then]
