Exegesis

The second clause coordinates with kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’ and shifts focus to the master’s action: the adjective isous {ἴσους | í-sous} ‘equal’ governs the object autous {αὐτοὺς | au-toús} ‘them’ in contrast to the indirect object hemin {ἡμῖν | hē-mîn} ‘to us’, while the aorist verb epoiesas {ἐποίησας | e-poí-e-sas} ‘you made’ expresses the perceived injustice of equal treatment.

In context — Matthew 20:12

Saying, “These last have worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat .”
