Matthew 21:28-31
A [certain] man had two sons. The two sons represent the priests,
elders and scribes on the one hand, and the publicans and harlots, "the
sinners", on the other (Matthew 21:31). Both classes were bidden to work
in the Lord's vineyard. The publicans and sinners had refused, but
repented at the preaching of John. The others professed to obey, but
did not. The design of the parable is to show that the publicans and
harlots, whom they so much despised, were morally superior to his
questioners.
