John Trapp on Matthew 19:30

Verse 30. But many that are first, &c] Because Peter and the rest had called for their pay, (almost afore they had been at any pains for Chtist) he therefore quickeneth them in these words: bidding them bestir themselves better, left others, that are now hindermost, should get beyond them, and carry the crown. Lay1 Tim. 6. hold on eternall life, saith Paul: intimating that it is hanged on high as a garland, so that we must reach after it, strain to, it. So run that ye may obtain; Look you to your work, God will take care of your wages: you need never trouble your selves about that matter.
