Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Matthew 20:8

_ _ So when even was come — that is, the reckoning time between masters and laborers (see Deuteronomy 24:15); pointing to the day of final account.

_ _ the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward — answering to Christ Himself, represented “as a Son over His own house” (Hebrews 3:6; see Matthew 11:27; John 3:35; John 5:27).

_ _ Call the labourers and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first — Remarkable direction this — last hired, first paid.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Matthew 20:1-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Matthew 20:8

In the evening — Of life; or of the world.
