Matthew 21:31

The Parable Of The Two Sons

³⁰ And he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir; and did not go. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father? They said to Him, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that the tax-collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him. But the tax-collectors and the harlots believed him. And when you had seen it, you did not repent afterwards so that you might believe him.
