To study Matthew 20 in a group
1. What it says
How much did the vineyard owner pay the workers, both those hired in the morning and those in the evening (vv. 9–10)?
2. What it means
What does the owner's reply teach: “Is your eye evil because I am good?” (v. 15)?
3. How I live it
Jesus says whoever wants to be great must serve (vv. 26–28). Whom can you serve today expecting nothing back?
