29 But he answered and said, I am not willing: yet afterwards he relented, and went.
30 He came to the other, and said likewise. He answered and said, I (will), my lord; yet went not.
31 Which of these two did the will of his father? They say to him, The elder. Jeshu saith to them, Amen I tell you, the tribute-takers and harlots go before you into the kingdom of Aloha.
