Matthew 21:25-32

MSTC(i) 25 The baptism of John: whence was it? From heaven, or of men?" Then they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we shall say from heaven; he will say unto us, 'Why did ye not then believe him?' 26 But and if we shall say of men; then fear we the people. For all men held John as a prophet." 27 And they answered Jesus, and said, "We cannot tell." And he likewise said unto them, "Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 28 "What say ye to this? A certain man had two sons, and came to the elder and said, 'Son, go and work today in my vineyard.' 29 He answered and said, 'I will not.' But afterward, repented and went. 30 Then came he to the second, and said likewise, and he answered and said, 'I will sir.' Yet went he not. 31 Whether of these twain did the will of the father?" And they said unto him, "The first." Jesus said unto them, "Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots shall come into the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came unto you, in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not. But the publicans and the harlots believed him. And yet ye, though ye saw it, were not yet moved with repentance; that ye might afterward have believed him.
