23 G2532 And G2064 when G846 he G2064 was come G1519 into G2411 the temple, G749 the chief priests G2532 and G4245 the elders G2992 of the people G4334 came G846 unto him G1321 as he was teaching, G3004 and said, G1722 By G4169 what G1849 authority G4160 doest thou G5023 these things? G2532 and G5101 who G1325 gave G4671 thee G3778 this G1849 authority?

24 G1161 And G2424 Jesus G611 answered G2036 and said G846 unto them, G2504 I also G2065 will ask G5209 you G1520 one G3056 question, G3739 which G1437 if G2036 ye tell G3427 me, G2504 I likewise G2046 will tell G5213 you G1722 by G4169 what G1849 authority G4160 I do G5023 these things.

25 G908 The baptism G2491 of John, G4159 whence G2258 was it? G1537 from G3772 heaven G2228 or G1537 from G444 men? G1161 And G1260 they reasoned G3844 with G1438 themselves, G3004 saying, G1437 If G2036 we shall say, G1537 From G3772 heaven; G2046 he will say G1223 unto us, G5101 Why G3767 then G4100 did ye G3756 not G4100 believe G846 him?

26 G1161 But G1437 if G2036 we shall say, G1537 From G444 men; G5399 we fear G3793 the multitude; G1063 for G3956 all G2192 hold G2491 John G5613 as G4396 a prophet.

27 G2532 And G611 they answered G2424 Jesus, G2036 and said, G1492 We G3756 know not. G846 He G5346 also said G846 unto them, G3761 Neither G3004 tell G1473 I G5213 you G1722 by G4169 what G1849 authority G4160 I do G5023 these things.

28 G1161 But G5101 what G1380 think G5213 ye? G444 A man G2192 had G1417 two G5043 sons; G2532 and G4334 he came G4413 to the first, G2036 and said, G5043 Son, G5217 go G2038 work G4594 to-day G1722 in G3450 the G290 vineyard.

29 G611 And he answered G2036 and said, G2309 I will G3756 not: G1161 but G5305 afterward G3338 he repented G565 himself, and went.

30 G2532 And G4334 he came G1208 to the second, G2036 and said G5615 likewise. G1161 And G611 he answered G2036 and said, G1473 I G2962 go, sir: G2532 and G565 went G3756 not.

31 G5101 Which G1537 of G1417 the two G4160 did G2307 the will G3962 of his father? G3004 They say, G4413 The first. G2424 Jesus G3004 saith G846 unto them, G281 Verily G3004 I say G5213 unto you, G3754 that G5057 the publicans G2532 and G4204 the harlots G4254 go G1519 into G932 the kingdom G4254 of God G4254 before G5209 you.

32 G1063 For G2491 John G2064 came G4314 unto G5209 you G1722 in G3598 the way G1343 of righteousness, G2532 and G4100 ye believed G846 him G3756 not; G1161 but G5057 the publicans G2532 and G4204 the harlots G4100 believed G846 him: G1161 and G5210 ye, G1492 when ye saw G3756 it, did not G3338 even repent G5305 yourselves afterward, G3588 that G4100 ye might believe G846 him.
