Mateo 21:30-32
Nueva Traducción Viviente
30 Entonces el padre le dijo al otro hijo: “Ve tú”, y él le dijo: “Sí, señor, iré”; pero no fue.
31 »¿Cuál de los dos obedeció al padre?
Ellos contestaron:
—El primero.[a]
Luego Jesús explicó el significado:
—Les digo la verdad, los corruptos cobradores de impuestos y las prostitutas entrarán en el reino de Dios antes que ustedes. 32 Pues Juan el Bautista vino y les mostró a ustedes la manera correcta de vivir, pero ustedes no le creyeron, mientras que los cobradores de impuestos y las prostitutas sí le creyeron. Aun viendo lo que ocurría, ustedes se negaron a creerle y a arrepentirse de sus pecados.

- 21:29-31 Otros manuscritos dicen —El segundo. Incluso en otros manuscritos, el primer hijo dice «Sí», pero no hace nada; el segundo dice «No», pero luego se arrepiente y va; y la respuesta a la pregunta de Jesús es que el segundo hijo obedeció a su padre.
Matthew 21:30-32
New International Version
30 “Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go.
31 “Which of the two did what his father wanted?”
“The first,” they answered.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors(A) and the prostitutes(B) are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32 For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness,(C) and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors(D) and the prostitutes(E) did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent(F) and believe him.
Matthew 21:30-32
1599 Geneva Bible
30 Then came he to the second, and said likewise. And he answered, and said, I will, Sir: yet he went not.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of the father? They said unto him, The first. Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the Publicans and the harlots [a]go before you into the kingdom of God.
32 For John came unto you in the [b]way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the Publicans and the harlots believed him, and ye though ye saw it, were not moved with repentance afterward, that ye might believe him.
