Matthew 21:28-32 (NRSV)
What
do you think? A man had two sons; he went to the first and said, 'Son, go
and work in the vineyard today.' He answered, 'I will not'; but later he
changed his mind and went. The father went to the second and said the same;
and he answered, 'I go, sir'; but he did not go. Which of the two did the
will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to
them, "Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are
going into the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you in the way
of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and
the prostitutes believed him; and even after you saw it, you did not change
your minds and believe him.
