Philip answered him, “Eight months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”
“pennyworth” (KJV) = denarius = about a day’s wage. #Matt 20:2 Thus 200 pennyworth would be about 8 month’s wages at 6 work days per week (never on the Sabbath).
Mt 20:2 He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
Jesus always meets our needs — even when it seems impossible.
