Matthew 21:29 Context
27And they answered Iesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said vnto them, Neither tell I you by what authoritie I doe these things. 28¶ But what thinke you? A certaine man had two sonnes, and he came to the first, and said, Sonne, goe worke to day in my vineyard. 29He answered, & said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. 30And hee came to the second, and said likewise: and hee answered, and said, I goe sir, and went not. 31Whether of them twaine did the will of his father? They say vnto him, The first. Iesus saith vnto them, Uerely I say vnto you, that the Publicanes and the harlots go into the kingdome of God before you.
