Matthew 20:13

“But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn't you agree with me for a denarius?”

Verse in context — Matthew 20

When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,

saying, 'These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!

But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn't you agree with me for a denarius?

Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.

Isn't it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?

Jesus as the promised Messiah, fulfilling Old Testament prophecy.
