* The baptism of John , whence was it (5713 )? from heaven , or of men ? And they reasoned (5711 ) with themselves , saying (5723 ), If we shall say (5632 ), From heaven ; he will say (5692 ) unto us , Why did ye not then believe (5656 ) him ? * But if we shall say (5632 ), Of men ; we fear (5736 ) the people ; for all hold (5719 ) John as a prophet . * And they answered (5679 ) Jesus , and said (5627 ), We cannot tell (5758 ). And he said (5713 ) unto them , Neither tell (5719 ) I you by what authority I do (5719 ) these things . * But what think (5719 ) ye ? A certain man had (5707 ) two sons ; and he came (5631 ) to the first , and said (5627 ), Son , go (5720 ) work (5737 ) to day in my vineyard . * He answered (5679 ) and said (5627 ), I will (5719 ) not : but afterward he repented (5679 ), and went (5627 ). * And he came (5631 ) to the second , and said (5627 ) likewise . And he answered (5679 ) and said (5627 ), I go , sir : and went (5627 ) not . * Whether of them twain did (5656 ) the will of his father ? They say (5719 ) unto him , The first . Jesus saith (5719 ) unto them , Verily I say (5719 ) unto you , That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before (5719 ) you . * For John came (5627 ) unto you in the way of righteousness , and ye believed (5656 ) him not : but the publicans and the harlots believed (5656 ) him : and ye , when ye had seen (5631 ) it , repented (5675 ) not afterward , that ye might believe (5658 ) him .
