Grace Penny: Inner Payment

Matthew 20:11-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 20 in context

Scripture Focus

11And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
12Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
13But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
14Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
Matthew 20:11-14

Biblical Context

In Matthew 20:11-14, workers murmur about others being paid the same penny; the master replies that he chooses to grant mercy as he wills.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner market of your mind, the parable exposes a crowd of voices measuring time and worth. The goodman of the house is your I AM self, the unwavering consciousness that dispenses reward not by hours worked but by the sovereign grace of Being. Those who murmur are states of mind clinging to merit and comparison; they fear that another’s ease diminishes their own share. Yet the master says, 'Didst not thou agree with me for a penny?'—a reminder that your true pay does not come from labor but from acceptance of grace. When he adds, 'Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee,' he unveils the law of consciousness: there is only one source of supply, one principle of life, one I AM paying all according to its own generous decree. Your task is to revise in imagination, recognizing you are already paid in full by the one power you serve. Release jealousy, align with grace, and watch the outer day reflect the inward abundance that is always yours.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes; assume you have already received your penny today from the I AM. Feel the relief and rest of mind; repeat, 'I am the grace by which all are paid,' until belief anchors.
