The parable about obedience

Mat 21:28–32

21:28 The parable about obedience

28But what does it matter to you all, anyway? There was a man who had two children and he went up to the first one and instructed, ‘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. 30The father also approached the other child with the same instruction. ‘I will, master’ this one answered, but he never went. 31Which of the two did what the father wanted?

“The first one,” the hearers answered.

I can assure you all,Yeshua continued, “that tax collectors and prostitutes will enter God’s kingdom ahead of you lot, 32[ref]because Yohan came to you all teaching the road to becoming right with God, but you didn’t believe that he was sent by God. Yet the tax collectors and prostitutes believed in him, and still, even when you saw that, you didn’t later regret and change your minds and believe.


21:32: Luk 3:12; 7:29-30.
