The parable about obedience

Mat 21:28–32

21:28 The parable about obedience

28 “But what does it matter to you people, anyway? There was a man who had two children, and he went up to the first one and told him, ‘Son, go and work in my vineyard today.’ 29 ‘I can’t,’ he answered, but later he regretted what he’d said and went and did the work. 30 The father also approached the other child with the same instruction. ‘I will, master,’ this one answered, but he never went. 31 Which of the two did what the father wanted?”

“The first one,” they answered.

“I can assure you,” Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) continued, “that tax collectors and prostitutes will enter God’s kingdom ahead of you lot, 32 because Yohan (John; Grk. Yoannes) came to you teaching the way to become right with God, but you didn’t believe that he was sent by God. Yet the tax collectors and prostitutes believed him, and still, even when you saw that, you didn’t later show regret, change your minds, and believe.[ref]

28 But what is _it _supposing to _you _all?
A_man was _having two children.
And having _approached to _the_ first _one he _said:
Child, be _going today, be _working in the vineyard of _me.

29 And he answering said:
I _am_ not _willing, later having _been _regretful, he _went _away.

30 And having _approached to _the other child, he _said likewise.
And he answering said:
I will, master, but went_ not _away.

31 Which of the two did the will of _the father?
They _are _saying:
The first.
The Yaʸsous is _saying to _them:
Truly, I _am _saying to _you _all that the tax _collectors and the prostitutes are _going _before you _all into the kingdom of_ the _god.

32 For/Because Yōannaʸs came to you _all in the_way of _righteousness, and you _all_ not _believed in _him, but the tax _collectors and the prostitutes believed in _him, and you _all having _seen, you _all _were_ not _regretful later which to _believe in _him.
