Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Matthew 20:14
Take [that] thine [is,] and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
Take that thine is – Take what is justly due to you what is properly your own.

Take that thine is,…. By agreement, and go thy way; out of my sight, give me no more trouble on this head; which looks like a dismissal from his service, and after privileges; and was true of many among the Jews, who were only nominal professors, and from whom the Gospel and ordinances of it were taken:
I will give unto this last man that was called, and sent into the vineyard,
even as unto thee; the same outward privileges, besides special grace, and eternal glory, which it looks as if the other had not.

Take up (). First aorist active imperative of . Pick up, as if he had saucily refused to take it from the table or had contemptuously thrown the denarius on the ground. If the first had been paid first and sent away, there would probably have been no murmuring, but “the murmuring is needed to bring out the lesson” (Plummer). The was the common wage of a day labourer at that time.
What I will ( ). This is the point of the parable, the will of the householder.
With mine own ( ). In the sphere of my own affairs. There is in the Koine an extension of the instrumental use of .

Take [] . Lit., as Rev., take up, as if the money had been laid down for him on a table or counter.
I will give [ ] . But, as in other cases in the A. V., this may be mistaken for the simple future of the verb; whereas there are two verbs. Therefore, Rev., rightly, It is my will to give. See on Mt 14:32.

(14) Take that thine is, and go thy way.The tone of dismissal is natural and intelligible in the parable. The question, What answers to it in Gods dealings with men? is not so easy to answer. If the penny which each received was the gift of eternal life, did those who answered to the murmuring labourers receive that, or were they excluded by their discontent from all share in it? Was the money which they received as fairy-gold that turned to a withered leaf in the hands of its thankless possessor? The answer is, perhaps, to be found in the thought that that reward lies in the presence of God to the soul of the disciple, and that this depends for its blessedness on the harmony between the character of the believer and the mind of God. Heaven is not a place, but a state, its happiness is not sensual but spiritual, and those who are in it share its blessedness in proportion as they are like God and see Him as He is. It is only perfect when their charity is like His.

14. Go thy way To a low reward or to none at all, for thy mercenary, exacting, heartless, graceless service.

“Take up what is yours and go your way. It is my will to give to this last, even as to you.”
Then He pointed out that what He had done what in accordance with His own will, and that was to pay a living wage to everyone regardless of their misfortune at not finding work until late on (in fact a good Union principle). This stress on the owner’s ‘will’ is a further indication that he represents God Who does according to His own will, and we should ever be grateful for the fact that it is His will not to give us what we deserve, but to benefit even the least deserving.

Valde protestatus sum, said Luther, when great gifts were offered him, me nolle sic a Deo satiari. A gracious spirit cannot rest satisfied with low things. The Turkish empire, as big as it is, saith the same Luther, is nothing else but a crust of bread, which the goodman of the house casteth to his dogs: Turc.

0:14
That thine is denotes that these men wanted more than was coming to them. When the paymaster put the penny into their hands he gave them all that was rightfully theirs. That means that had they obtained more than the penny they would have gone home with property that did not belong to them.
