Matthew 21:31

The Parable Of The Two Sons

³⁰ And, coming to the second, he spake in like manner; and he, answering, said, 'I am not willing;' but later, repenting, he went. ³¹  Which of the two did the will of the father?" They say, "The last." Jesus saith to them, "Verily I say to you that the tax-collectors and the harlots are going into the Kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him; but the tax-collectors and the harlots believed him; but ye, having seen him, did not even repent afterward, that ye might believe him."
