Theophylact of Ohrid — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 20:9-18

“Or each one of the people is the vineyard, each likewise is the husbandman, for every one of us takes care of himself. Having committed then the vineyard to the husbandmen, he went away, that is, he left them to the guidance of their own judgment. Hence it follows, And went into a far country for a long time.”
