AD 33 Β· Life of Christ

The parable of the two sons

Jesus told of one son who refused his father's command but later obeyed and another who agreed but did nothing. He said that tax collectors and prostitutes entered God's kingdom ahead of leaders who did not believe John's call to righteousness (Matthew 21:28-32).

28But what do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first one and said, β€˜Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’ 29β€˜I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went. 30Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. β€˜I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.
