Jesus continued, saying: “What do you think of this? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said to him, ‘Son, go and work today in my vineyard.’”

And the son replied: ‘I don’t want to.’ But later, he reconsidered and went.

Then the father went to his other son and said the same thing to him. This son replied: ‘I will go, sir,’ but he did not go.

Which of the two did what the father wanted?”

They answered:

“The first.”

And Jesus said to them:

“Truly, I tell you: tax collectors and the prostitutes are ahead of you on the way to the kingdom of heaven.

For John came to show you the way of goodness, and you did not believe him, but tax collectors and the prostitutes did. You witnessed this, yet you neither repented nor believed him.
