‘Son, go out today to work in my vineyard.’

Matthew 21:28-32

²⁸ But how does it seem to you? A certain man had two sons. And approaching the first, he said: ‘Son, go out today to work in my vineyard.’ ²⁹ And responding, he said, ‘I am not willing.’ But afterwards, being moved by repentance, he went. ³⁰ And approaching the other, he spoke similarly. And answering, he said, ‘I am going, lord.’ And he did not go. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them: “Amen I say to you, that tax collectors and prostitutes shall precede you, into the kingdom of God. ³² For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. Yet even after seeing this, you did not repent, so as to believe him.
