31. Which of the two did the will of the father?" They said to him, "The first." Jesus said to them: "Amen I say to you, that tax collectors and prostitutes shall precede you, into the kingdom of God.
32. For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. Yet even after seeing this, you did not repent, so as to believe him.
33. Listen to another parable. There was a man, the father of a family, who planted a vineyard, and surrounded it with a hedge, and dug a press in it, and built a tower. And he loaned it out to farmers, and he set out to sojourn abroad.
34. Then, when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, so that they might receive its fruits.
35. And the farmers apprehended his servants; they struck one, and killed another, and stoned yet another.
36. Again, he sent other servants, more than before; and they treated them similarly.
