New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |

|
| 28 | 'But what do you think about this? A man had two sons. He went to the first, and said, "My boy, go and work today in the vineyard." | The Parable of the Two Sons Mt.21.28-32 (Jerusalem) | Τί δὲ ὑμῖν δοκεῖ; ἄνθρωπος εἶχεν τέκνα δύο. καὶ προσελθὼν τῷ πρώτῳ εἶπεν, Τέκνον, ὑπαγε σήμερον ἐργάζου ἐν τῷ ἀμπελῶνι. |
|
| 29 | "I will, sir", the boy replied; but he never went. | | ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, Οὐ θέλω, ὑστερον δὲ μεταμεληθεὶς ἀπῆλθεν. |
|
| 30 | The father came to the second and said the same. "I will not", he replied, but afterwards he changed his mind and went. | | προσελθὼν δὲ τῷ ἑτέρῳ εἶπεν ὡσαύτως. ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, Ἐγώ, κύριε· καὶ οὐκ ἀπῆλθεν. |
|
| 31 | Which of these two did as his father wished?' 'The second', they said. Then Jesus answered, 'I tell you this: tax-gatherers and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. | | τίς ἐκ τῶν δύο ἐποίησεν τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός; λέγουσιν, Ὁ πρῶτος. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ τελῶναι καὶ αἱ πόρναι προάγουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ. |
|
| 32 | For when John came to show you the right way to live, you did not believe him, but the tax-gatherers and prostitutes did; and even when you had seen that, you did not change your minds and believe him.
| | ἦλθεν γὰρ Ἰωάννης πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν ὁδῷ δικαιοσύνης, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῷ· οἱ δὲ τελῶναι καὶ αἱ πόρναι ἐπίστευσαν αὐτῷ· ὑμεῖς δὲ ἰδόντες οὐδὲ μετεμελήθητε ὑστερον τοῦ πιστεῦσαι αὐτῷ. |
