Matthew 21:31-33
New American Standard Bible 1995
31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They *said, “The first.” Jesus *said to them, “Truly I say to you that (A)the tax collectors and prostitutes [a]will get into the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but (B)the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him; and you, seeing this, did not even feel remorse afterward so as to believe him.
Parable of the Landowner
33 “Listen to another parable. (C)There was a [b]landowner who (D)planted a (E)vineyard and put a wall around it and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and rented it out to [c]vine-growers and (F)went on a journey.
