Matthew 19:30, 20:16 : First last and last first

Verses: Matthew 19:30, 20:16

Title: First last and last first
Details: The two first and last verses spoken by Jesus in Matthew immediately precede and follow the parable of the vineyard workers. It follows, through play of word hints, that there are two types of payments for two types of groups. These can be related to the pairs of first and last verses such that connections can be made to both the parable of the sheep and goats and to the wide area and gate verses in Matthew 7:13-14. The play on words help explain why "many" is used in verse 19:30 and two "the" words in 20:16.
