And he answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but did not go. 31Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, othe tax collectors and pthe prostitutes go into qthe kingdom of God before you. 32For John came to you rin the way of righteousness, and syou did not believe him, but tthe tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. And even when you saw it, you did not afterward uchange your minds and believe him.Luke 7:47
