Barnes New Testament Notes

By Albert Barnes

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW - Chapter 20 - Verse 11

Verse 11. Murmured. Complained. Found fault with.

The good man of the house. The original here is the same word which, Mt 20:1, is translated householder, and should have been so translated here. It is the old English way of denoting the father of a family. It expresses no moral quality.

{c} "against the good man" Lu 15:29,30
