30 Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. ‘Yes, sir,’ he answered, but he did not go.
31 Which one of the two did what his father wanted?”“The elder one,” they answered.So Jesus said to them, “I tell you: the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the Kingdom of God ahead of you.
32 For John the Baptist came to you showing you the right path to take, and you would not believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. Even when you saw this, you did not later change your minds and believe him.
33 “Listen to another parable,” Jesus said. “There was once a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a hole for the winepress, and built a watchtower. Then he let out the vineyard to tenants and went on a journey.
34 When the time came to gather the grapes, he sent his slaves to the tenants to receive his share of the harvest.
35 The tenants seized his slaves, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again the man sent other slaves, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way.
