So they went. He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing.
Commentary on Matthew 20:52 voices
There are undeniable difficulties in the parable contained in these verses. The key to the right explanation of them must be sought in the passage which concludes the last chapter. There we find the apostle Peter asking our Lord a remarkable question: “We have forsaken all and followed thee! What shall we have therefore?” There we find Jesus giving a remarkable answer. He makes a special promise to Peter and his fellow disciples: they should one day sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

(ubi sup.) The sixth hour is that from Abraham to Moses, the ninth that from Moses to the coming of the Lord.

J.C. Ryle· Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Matthew, 1856
WE have come to the end of another year. Better is the end of a year than the beginning thereof. A year is begun with fear and trembling—it closes with joy and thankfulness. In the beginning of the year, we are like the sailor when he leaves port, hoists his sails and goes out on the broad sea toward a distant country. At the end of the year, we are sometimes like that mariner when he casts his anchor overboard and lies still in the haven.
Charles Spurgeon· The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 2602: “Good News for the Aged” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition), 1898
