29“Yule mwanawe akamjibu ‘Mimi sitakwenda.’ Baadaye akabadili mawazo yake akaenda. 30“Kisha yule baba akamwendea yule mwanawe mwingine akamwambia vilevile. Yeye akajibu, ‘Nitakwenda, bwana,’ lakini hakwenda. 31“Ni yupi kati yao hao wawili aliyetimiza kile alichotaka baba yake?”
Wakamjibu, “Ni yule wa kwanza.”
Yesu akawaambia, “Amin, amin nawaambia, watoza ushuru na makahaba wanawatangulia kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu. 32Kwa maana Yohana alikuja kwenu kuwaonyesha njia ya haki, lakini hamkumsadiki, lakini watoza ushuru na makahaba wakamsadiki. Nanyi hata mlipoona hayo, baadaye hamkutubu na kumsadiki. 33“Sikilizeni mfano mwingine: Kulikuwa na mtu mmoja mwenye shamba ambaye alipanda shamba la mizabibu. Akajenga ukuta kulizunguka, akatengeneza shinikizo ndani yake na akajenga mnara wa ulinzi. Kisha akalikodisha hilo shamba la mizabibu kwa wakulima fulani, naye akaondoka, akasafiri kwenda nchi nyingine.
