And he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, I
will go, Lord, and went not.

Which of the two did the will of
his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go ahead of you into the kingdom of God.
32
For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not, but the publicans and the harlots believed him, and ye, when ye had seen
it, repented not afterward that ye might believe him.
33
Hear another parable: There was a certain husband of a house who planted a vineyard and hedged it round about and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and let it out to husbandmen and went into a far country,
34
and when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his slaves to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits of it.
35
And the husbandmen took his slaves and beat one and killed another and stoned another.
36
Again, he sent other slaves more than the first, and they did unto them likewise.
37
But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38
But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us take his inheritance.
39
And they took hold of him and cast
him out of the vineyard and slew
him.

Therefore, when the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
