New American Standard Bible
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 [b]have second thoughts afterward so as to believe him.
Parable of the Landowner
