Matthew 21:28
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But what do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first one and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’
In context
26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”
27 So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
28 But what do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first one and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’
29 ‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.
30 Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.
