Matthew 21:28-32

28“But what do you think about this? A man with two sons told the older boy, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’

29The son answered, ‘No, I won’t go,’ but later he changed his mind and went anyway.

30Then the father told the other son, ‘You go,’ and he said, ‘Yes, sir, I will.’ But he didn’t go.

31“Which of the two obeyed his father?” They replied, “The first.” Then Jesus explained his meaning: “I tell you the truth, corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you do.

32For John the Baptist came and showed you the right way to live, but you didn’t believe him, while tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even when you saw this happening, you refused to believe him and repent of your sins.
