Context
25Ubatizo wa Yohana, ulitoka wapi? Je, ulitoka mbinguni au kwa wanadamu?”
Wakahojiana wao kwa wao na kusema, “Tukisema ulitoka mbinguni atatuuliza, ‘Mbona basi hamkumwamini?’ 26Lakini tukisema, ‘Ulitoka kwa wanadamu,’ tunawaogopa hawa watu, maana wote wanamtambua Yohana kuwa ni nabii.” 27Kwa hiyo wakamjibu Yesu, “Sisi hatujui.”
Naye akawaambia, “Wala mimi sitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani ninatenda mambo haya.” 28“Lakini mwaonaje? Mtu mmoja alikuwa na wana wawili. Akamwendea yule wa kwanza akamwambia, ‘Mwanangu, nenda ukafanye kazi kwenye shamba la mizabibu leo.’ 29“Yule mwanawe akamjibu ‘Mimi sitakwenda.’ Baadaye akabadili mawazo yake akaenda.
