Matthew Chapter 21 The Parable of the Two Sons

The Parable of the Two Sons

²⁸What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, Son, go and work today in the vineyard.

²⁹I will not, he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.

³⁰Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, I will, sir, but he did not go.

³¹Which of the two did what his father wanted?

The first, they answered.

Jesus said to them, Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. ³²For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.
