Matthew 21:30-40
-
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
-
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
-
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 householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged 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 servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
-
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
-
36 Again, he sent other servants 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 seize on his inheritance.
-
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
-
40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
