27And they made answer and said, We have no idea. Then he said to them, And I will not say to you by what authority I do these things.
28But how does it seem to you? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go and do work today in the vine-garden.
29And he said in answer, I will not: but later, changing his decision, he went.
30And he came to the second and said the same. And he made answer and said, I go, sir: and went not.
31Which of the two did his father's pleasure? They say, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that tax-farmers and loose women are going into the kingdom of God before you.
32For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you had no faith in him, but the tax-farmers and the loose women had faith in him: and you, when you saw it, did not even have regret for your sins, so as to have faith in him.
