Matthew 21:23-32

23And when he cameG2064 into the temple, the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the eldersG4245 of the peopleG2992 cameG2064 to him [as he was] teachingG1321, sayingG3004, By what authorityG1849 doest thou these thingsG3778? and who gaveG1325 thee this authorityG1849?

24And JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG3004 to them, I alsoG1161 will askG2065 you oneG1520 thingG3778, which if ye tellG3004 me, I alsoG1161 will tellG3004 you by what authorityG1849 I do these thingsG3778:

25The baptismG908 of JohnG2491, whence wasG1510 it? of heavenG3772 or of menG444? And they reasonedG1260 among themselves, sayingG3004, If we should sayG3004, Of heavenG3772, he will sayG3004 to us, WhyG5101 thenG3767 have ye not believedG4100 him?

26but if we should sayG3004, Of menG444, we fearG5399 the crowdG3793, for all holdG2192 JohnG2491 for a prophetG4396.

27And answeringG611 JesusG2424 they saidG3004, We do not know. He alsoG2532 saidG3004 to them, Neither do I tellG3004 you by what authorityG1849 I do these thingsG3778.

28But what thinkG1380 ye? A manG444 had twoG1417 childrenG5043, and comingG4334 to the firstG4413 he saidG3004, ChildG5043, goG5217 to-day, workG2038 in [my] vineyardG290.

29And he answeringG611 saidG3004, I willG2309 not; but afterwards repenting himself he wentG565.

30And comingG4334 to the secondG1208 he saidG3004 likewiseG5615; and he answeringG611 saidG3004, I [goG565], sirG2962, and wentG565 not.

31Which of the twoG1417 did the will of the fatherG3962? They sayG3004 [to him], The firstG4413. JesusG2424 saysG3004 to them, Verily I sayG3004 unto you that the tax-gatherers and the harlots goG4254 into the kingdomG932 of 1GodG2316 before you.

32For JohnG2491 cameG2064 to you in the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, and ye believedG4100 him not; but the tax-gatherers and the harlots believedG4100 him; but ye when ye sawG3708 [it] repented not yourselves afterwards to believeG4100 him.
