New Testament

Matthew 21:30-35 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

30. Then the father went to the other son and said, ‘Son, go and work today in my vineyard.’ The son answered, ‘Yes, sir, I will go and work.’ But he did not go.

31. Which of the two sons obeyed his father?”The priests and leaders answered, “The first son.”Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth. The tax collectors and the prostitutes will enter the kingdom of God before you do.

32. John came to show you the right way to live. And you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and prostitutes believed John. You saw this, but you still refused to change and believe him.

33. “Listen to this story: There was a man who owned a vineyard. He put a wall around the vineyard and dug a hole for a winepress. Then he built a tower. He leased the land to some farmers and left for a trip.

34. Later, it was time for the grapes to be picked. So the man sent his servants to the farmers to get his share of the grapes.

35. But the farmers grabbed the servants, beat one, killed another, and then killed a third servant with stones.
