Matthew 21:31

The Parable Of The Two Sons

³⁰ And coming to the second, he spoke likewise. And he responding said, I, lord: and went not. ³¹  Which one of the two did the will of the father? They say to Him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say unto you, that the publicans and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not: but the publicans and harlots believed him, and you, seeing, did not afterward regret it, in order that you might believe him.
