AndG2532 whenG2064 heG846 was comeG2064 intoG1519 the templeG3588G2411, the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 the eldersG4245 of the peopleG3588G2992 cameG4334 unto himG846 as he was teachingG1321, and saidG3004, ByG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 doest thouG4160 these thingsG3778? andG2532 whoG5101 gaveG1325 theeG4771 thisG3778 authorityG3588G1849? 24AndG1161 JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto themG846, I alsoG2504 will askG2065 youG4771 oneG1520 thingG3056, whichG3739 ifG1437 ye tellG3004 meG1473, I in like wiseG2504 will tellG2046 youG4771 byG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 I doG4160 these thingsG3778. 25The baptismG3588G908 of JohnG2491, whenceG4159 was itG1510? fromG1537 heavenG3772, orG2228 ofG1537 menG444? AndG1161 they reasonedG1260 withG3844 themselvesG1438, sayingG3004, IfG1437 we shall sayG3004, FromG1537 heavenG3772; he will sayG2046 unto usG1473, WhyG5101 did yeG4100 notG3756 thenG3767 believeG4100 himG846? 26ButG1161 ifG1437 we shall sayG3004, OfG1537 menG444; we fearG5399 the peopleG3588G3793; forG1063 allG3956 holdG2192 JohnG3588G2491 asG5613 a prophetG4396. 27AndG2532 they answeredG611 JesusG3588G2424, and saidG3004, WeG1492 cannotG3756 tellG1492. AndG2532 heG846 saidG5346 unto themG846, NeitherG3761 tellG3004 IG1473 youG4771 byG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 I doG4160 these thingsG3778. 28

ButG1161 whatG5101 thinkG1380 yeG4771? AG444 certain manG444 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5043; andG2532 he cameG4334 to the firstG4413, and saidG3004, SonG5043, goG5217 workG2038 to dayG4594 inG1722 myG1473 vineyardG3588G290. 29He answeredG3588G611 and saidG3004, I willG2309 notG3756: butG1161 afterwardG5305 he repentedG3338, and wentG565. 30AndG2532 he cameG4334 to the secondG1208, and saidG3004 likewiseG5615. AndG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG3004, IG1473 go, sirG2962: andG2532 wentG565 notG3756. 31WhetherG5101 ofG1537 them twainG1417 didG4160 the willG3588G2307 ofG3588G3962 his fatherG3588G3962? They sayG3004 unto himG846, The firstG4413. JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 the publicansG3588G5057 andG2532 the harlotsG3588G4204 goG4254 intoG1519 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316 beforeG4254 youG4771. 32ForG1063 JohnG2491 cameG2064 untoG4314 youG4771 inG1722 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, andG2532 ye believedG4100 himG846 notG3756: butG1161 the publicansG5057 andG2532 the harlotsG3588G4204 believedG4100 himG846: andG1161 yeG4771, when ye had seenG3708 it, repentedG3338 notG3756 afterwardG5305, thatG3588 ye might believeG4100 himG846.
