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, ethe tax collectors and fthe prostitutes go into gthe kingdom of God before you. 32For John came to you hin the way of righteousness, and iyou did not believe him, but jthe tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. And even when you saw it, you did not afterward kchange your minds and believe him.
