Matthew 20:10 - Exposition

They supposed that they should have received more. The text varies between πλεῖον ( plus, Vulgate) and πλει ì ονα , the former implying "a greater sum" than the stated hire, the latter hinting indefinitely at "more" things, more in number. Seeing the liberal payment given to the others, they expected some increase in the wages offered to themselves, or an additional remuneration of some kind.
