CommentJeromePublic domainMatthew 20:1–16

A denarius bears the figure of the king. You have therefore received the reward which I promised you, that is, my image and likeness; what desirest thou more? And yet, it is not that thou shouldest have more, but that another should have less that thou seekest. “Take that is thine, and go thy way.”
