Matthew 21:27 in Context — Matthew 21
25 El bautismo de Juan, ¿de dónde era? ¿del cielo, ó de los hombres? Ellos entonces pensaron entre sí, diciendo: Si dijéremos, del cielo, nos dirá: ¿Por qué pues no le creísteis?
26 Y si dijéremos, de los hombres, tememos al pueblo; porque todos tienen á Juan por profeta.
27 Y respondiendo á Jesús, dijeron: No sabemos. Y él también les dijo: Ni yo os digo con qué autoridad hago esto.
28 Mas, ¿qué os parece? Un hombre tenía dos hijos, y llegando al primero, le dijo: Hijo, ve hoy á trabajar en mi viña.
29 Y respondiendo él, dijo: No quiero; mas después, arrepentido, fué.
