Parable of the Vineyard Owner
Mt. 21.23-46
Describe how pleased these men had been in the first place to be able to rent such a fruitful and pleasant vineyard, where they could benefit from the labours of the owner and the success of his enterprise. After a time, however, they had come to ***take their privileged position for granted*** and began to be envious and resentful of their landlord. They wanted to behave as though they owned the vineyard.
¿En qué sentido?

: Bueno, yo creo que tu respuesta fluye mejor en el texto. Los trabajadores dejaron de apreciar su situación privilegiada es exactamente el sentido de la frase en el párrafo.
