Matthew 20:1

Workers in the Vineyard

20:1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner ⁷  who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

[6:1]  ¹ tc ‡ Several mss (א L Z Θ Ë¹ 33 892 1241 1424 al) have δέ (de, “but, now”) at the beginning of this verse; the reading without δέ is supported by B D W 0250 ˹³ Ï lat. A decision is difficult, but apparently the conjunction was added by later scribes to indicate a transition in the thought-flow of the Sermon on the Mount. NA²⁷ has δέ in brackets, indicating reservations about its authenticity.

[6:1]  ² tn Grk “before people in order to be seen by them.”

[10:10]  ³ tn Or “no traveler’s bag”; or possibly “no beggar’s bag” (L&N 6.145; BDAG 811 s.v. πήρα).

[10:10]  ⁴ tn Grk “two tunics.” See the note on the word “tunic” in Matt 5:40.

[10:10]  ⁵ sn Mark 6:8 allows one staff. It might be that Matthew’s summary (cf. Luke 9:3) means not taking an extra staff or that the expression is merely rhetorical for “traveling light” which has been rendered in two slightly different ways.

[12:2]  ⁵ sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.

[20:1]  ⁷ sn The term landowner here refers to the owner and manager of a household.
