The Parable of the Two Sons
28 “Now what do you think? A man had two sons. He approached[a] the first and[b] said, ‘Son, go work in the vineyard today.’ 29 And he answered and[c] said, ‘I do not want to!’ But later he changed his mind and[d] went. 30 And he approached the second[e] and[f] said the same thing. So he answered and[g] said, ‘I will, sir,’ and he did not go. 31 Which of the two did the will of his[h] father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going ahead of you into the kingdom of God! 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did believe him. And when[i] you saw it,[j] you did not even change your minds later so as to believe in him.
