Contextual Overview

1“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2After agreeing with the workers on one denarius, 3When he went out about nine in the morning, 4He said to them, ‘You also go into my vineyard, and I’ll give you whatever is right.’ So off they went. 5About noon and about three, 6Then about five 7“‘Because no one hired us,’ they said to him. 8When evening came, the owner of the vineyard told his foreman, ‘Call the workers and give them their pay, 9“When those who were hired about five came, they each received one denarius. 10So when the first ones came, they assumed they would get more, but they also received a denarius each.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Take that thine is,.... By agreement, and go thy way; out of my sight, give me no more trouble on this head; which looks like a dismissal from his service, and after privileges; and was true of many among the Jews, who were only nominal professors, and from whom the Gospel and ordinances of it were taken:

I will give unto this last man that was called, and sent into the vineyard,

even as unto thee; the same outward privileges, besides special grace, and eternal glory, which it looks as if the other had not.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Take that thine is - Take what is justly due to you what is properly your own.
