Matthew 21:28-32

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[28] But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in my vineyard.' [29] He answered, 'I will not,' but afterward he changed his mind, and went. [30] He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, 'I go, sir,' but he didn't go. [31] Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said to him, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you. [32] For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn't believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn't even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
